Clues found in rare spirit boards

Here is an attractive spirit board made of real wood.

The triquetra symbol itself dates as early as the eighth century on carved stones in northern Europe.
The symbol represents the threefold nature of the Goddess as virgin, mother and crone. It has been found on runestones in northern Europe, and upon early Scandinavian coins. It presumably had pagan religious meaning, that become adopted by Christianity as symbolic with The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit.

The triquetra symbol is found on scores of ouija boards not associated with William Fuld / Parker Brothers. The example shown on the left is made of real wood, however most modern boards use a pressed wood, particle board, or paper covered cardboard.

Interesting to note Led Zeppelin used the triquetra symbol on the controversial 4th album known as the "ZOSO" Album.

John Paul Jones' symbol (circle over three interlocking ovals) was found in a book of runes and purportedly represents a person who is both confident and competent. It also mysteriously appears on the cover of a book about the Rosicrucians. I take a much closer look at Led Zeppelin in my book, but it is commonly thought that Jimmy Page was a member of occult practices

Many free-thinkers believe the symbol contains 3 inter-woven 6's

I have recently found a few spirit boards that include the letters Z, and O together. This strange board came out in 1965.

This "Mystic Genii Board was described as "the better mousetrap" when compared to other Ouija Boards. Manufactured by ZOLAR Enterprises Inc. Notice the odd symbols in the center? The symbol on the far left is undoubtedly one that was used by Aleister Crowley: The following is found on page 253 of Crowley's book named "The Equinox of the Gods."

 Did the makers of this board have esoteric knowledge of Crowley's 666?

Why is the ZO significant in this board? Are there any other boards with the odd "ZO" in them?

Yes, as a matter of fact.

Who is ZOltan The Great? What secrets can he reveal? Again, strange symbols are found in the center area of the spirit board!

Here we see a ZOdiac Board but no symbols, this board came out in the twenties.

Here we see a board advertised on a the internet as an animatronic board that actually moves by itself! Is it coincidental that 2 scary looking "Zozos" or Blackbirds are rising from the corners of this unique spirit board? How does it move by itself? Why are these blackbirds built into the board? Why were jars of preserved blackbirds found next to the strange double sided ZoZo Board?Many cultures believe the Crow or Raven is a symbol of death, and bad omens.

 This mousepad also doubles as a spirit board, with black snakes. What meaning is this?

The bird is even mentioned in the Bible; plucking out the eyes of sinners in Proverbs 30:17 and descending upon the wicked in Isaiah 34:11.Many religions, including that of Christianity, believed that these blackbirds were symbols of damnation. In alot of instances they were even associated with the ultimate sinner; that of Lucifer himself. Still others thought that the birds were the result of the casting of a witch's spell.

In mythology, it wasn't unusual for the gods to take the form of a raven or crow in order to fly down to earth and mix among their people.

Here a blackbird seems to be melting next to a flame emanating from a Ouija Board. Was this artist channeling information from beyond? Why all the connections between blackbirds and "talking boards?"

Other cultures considered these blackbirds to be symbols of sexual prowess or even deviancy. They believed that the birds had the power to turn even the best man into a sinner who would commit adultery or other acts of sexual deviance.

More to come.
