We're honored by this review of our restoriation of a bizarre, rare book nearly completely lost to a fire, The Care & Feeding of a Spirit Board:
"Sometimes the most interesting bits of knowledge turn up in the places you least expect them to. Unless you are reading Professor Oddfellow. With an impish delight that belies a serious tone, Oddfellow always manages to amuse while imparting forgotten wisdom. The Care & Feeding of a Spirit Board is a smart and delightful education." —Adam McFarland
Pictured is a tip from the book on how to use “spiritum sylvestre” to relax the dualistic tendencies of a ouija board.

Here's a tip from The Care and Feeding of a Spirit Board on how a clockwork spring placed upon a ouija board's "Farewell" will ring in the so-called fullness of time. (You heard it here first, folks.) The caption reads, "The talking board’s 'Farewell' implies its opposite: a welcoming. It bids farewell to darkness, doubts, wants, and fears, even as it welcomes light, assurance, fullness, and safety. Placing a clockwork spring at 'Farewell' formally rings in the hour, a so-called fullness of time in which we know not parting from reunion." The reconstructed text at the top reads, "The hands stretch thitherward, and the password is not 'Farewell' but 'Welcome the hour.'"

We love finding Ouija boards referenced in old yearbooks. And check out how they charmingly spelled superstitious:
If
Were you a mystic spirit,
And I a ouija board,
We'd kick up such a rumpus
That the mediums would pump us
Of occult news and smear it
On the superstitutious [sic] horde;
Were you a mystic spirit,
And I a ouija board.
From Mansfield State Normal School's Semaphore, 1921. See also our guide to the Care and Feeding of a Spirit Board. In the words of the celebrated magician Eugene Burger, "what a lovely and strange book it is!"
See The Care & Feeding of a Spirit Board.
