When I was a small child I remember my mom saying "Eenie meenie chili beanie, the spirits are about the speak!", and she would follow this up with some fun trick or slide of hand. This little saying would stick around for years, as a fun joke we shared. Of course, this saying is from the Rocky and Bullwinkle show but I didn't know that at the time.
Spirits are a fascinating subject and all the more so because there is something taboo about it. The final mystery of life, a realm where the living are left to wonder; always searching for proof that something beyond exists. In the late 1800's and early 1900's Ouija boards became a popular pastime, designed to enlighten (or frighten) the living of those who have passed on.
This Ouija Board is crafted from leather and has been hand stamped, hand carved and stained on beautiful Herman Oak Leather. This measures 11 inches by 17 inches and is 12 ounces thick, making this piece very stiff with no need of an extra backing. It should be noted that due to the nature of leather craft, it is not entirely smooth and also, this does not include a planchet. It is a beautiful piece on it's own, a piece of art that can be displayed on the wall in a frame or as an interesting curio.
