Divination Attracting Negative Entities: Protection & What to Do

Ouija Board Attracted Something: Understanding Spiritual Attachment

You've been practicing divination—tarot, pendulum, scrying, or spirit boards—and something feels wrong. You sense a presence, experience strange phenomena, feel watched, or notice negative energy in your space. You're having nightmares, feeling drained, or experiencing bad luck since you started divination. You're wondering: did I attract something negative? Is there an entity attached to me? How do I protect myself? Did I open a door I can't close?

The fear of attracting negative entities through divination is real and valid. While most divination practices are safe when done properly, opening yourself psychically without protection can occasionally attract unwanted spiritual attention. Understanding how this happens, how to recognize it, and how to protect yourself can keep your divination practice safe and empowering.

Can Divination Attract Negative Entities?

Yes, but it's not as common or dramatic as movies suggest. Here's the truth:

What's actually happening:

• Divination opens your psychic channels and makes you more energetically visible
• This increased visibility can attract spiritual attention—both positive and negative
• Without protection, you're like a beacon in the spiritual realm
• Lower-vibration entities are attracted to fear, desperation, or unprotected energy
• Most "entities" are actually thought forms, your own shadow, or residual energy—not demons

Risk factors:

• Using spirit boards (Ouija) without protection
• Practicing divination while drunk, high, or emotionally unstable
• Deliberately trying to contact spirits without knowledge or protection
• Practicing in locations with negative history or energy
• Being in a low-vibration state (fear, anger, depression) while practicing
• Not setting protection or clear intention before divination

Signs You've Attracted Negative Energy or Entities

Mild Signs (Energy, Not Entity)

These usually indicate absorbed negative energy, not entity attachment:

• Feeling drained or exhausted after divination
• Mild anxiety or unease
• Difficulty sleeping or restless dreams
• Feeling "off" or heavy
• Your space feels different or uncomfortable
• Divination tools feel heavy or wrong

What it likely is: Absorbed energy from readings, lack of grounding, or your own fear creating negative energy

Moderate Signs (Possible Entity Presence)

These suggest something more than just energy:

• Sensing a presence or feeling watched
• Unexplained sounds, movements, or phenomena
• Nightmares or sleep paralysis that started after divination
• Electronics malfunctioning around you
• Pets acting strangely or avoiding certain areas
• Cold spots or temperature changes
• Objects moving or disappearing
• Feeling like something is draining your energy

What it might be: Residual energy, thought form, or lower-level entity attracted to your practice

Severe Signs (Likely Entity Attachment)

These indicate a more serious situation requiring intervention:

• Personality changes or feeling unlike yourself
• Intrusive thoughts or voices that aren't yours
• Physical symptoms (scratches, bruises, illness) with no explanation
• Severe nightmares or night terrors
• Feeling controlled or influenced by something external
• Sudden onset of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts
• Violent or aggressive behavior that's out of character
• Multiple people experiencing phenomena in your space
• Phenomena that escalates despite cleansing attempts

What it likely is: Entity attachment, possession (rare), or serious mental health issue requiring professional help

How Divination Attracts Negative Entities

1. Spirit Boards (Ouija) Without Protection

Spirit boards are the highest-risk divination tool because they're specifically designed to contact spirits—and you can't control who answers.

Why they're risky:

• They invite any spirit to communicate, not just benevolent ones
• Lower entities can pretend to be loved ones or guides
• They create a direct channel that's hard to close
• Most people use them without protection or knowledge
• They're often used as games, which attracts trickster energy

What happens: You open a door and something unwanted walks through.

2. Practicing in Low-Vibration States

Fear, anger, desperation, or intoxication lowers your vibration and attracts entities that feed on those energies.

Low-vibration states:

• Drunk or high
• Extremely fearful or anxious
• Angry or vengeful
• Desperate or obsessive
• Depressed or suicidal

What happens: Like attracts like. Low vibration attracts low-vibration entities.

3. No Protection or Boundaries

Practicing divination without setting protection is like leaving your front door wide open in a bad neighborhood.

Lack of protection:

• Not setting intention before divination
• Not invoking protection or guides
• Not creating sacred space
• Not closing the session properly
• Not grounding or cleansing after

What happens: You're energetically vulnerable and visible to anything passing by.

4. Practicing in Negative Locations

Some places have residual negative energy or existing entity presence. Practicing divination there amplifies the risk.

Risky locations:

• Sites of trauma, death, or violence
• Abandoned buildings or hospitals
• Cemeteries (without proper respect and protection)
• Places with known hauntings
• Your own space if it has negative energy

What happens: You're practicing in a space that already has negative presence, making contact more likely.

What to Do If You've Attracted Something Negative

Step 1: Don't Panic

Fear feeds negative entities. Stay calm and remember:

• Most "entities" are thought forms or residual energy, not demons
• You have more power than any entity
• This is fixable
• You're not cursed or doomed

Step 2: Stop All Divination Immediately

Cease all psychic or spiritual practices until the situation is resolved:

• Put away all divination tools
• Don't try to communicate with the entity
• Don't use spirit boards to "ask it to leave" (this gives it more power)
• Close your psychic channels

Step 3: Cleanse Yourself

Clear your personal energy field:

Physical cleansing:

• Take a salt bath (1-2 cups sea salt or Epsom salt)
• Shower while visualizing negative energy washing away
• Smoke cleanse yourself with sage, palo santo, or frankincense

Energetic cleansing:

• Visualize white or golden light filling your body and pushing out darkness
• Call on your guides, angels, or higher power for protection
• Use sound (singing bowls, bells) to break up stuck energy
• Get energy healing (Reiki, acupuncture, etc.)

Step 4: Cleanse Your Space

Clear your home or the space where you practiced:

• Open all windows and doors to let energy flow out
• Smoke cleanse every room, especially corners and doorways
• Sprinkle salt in corners and at thresholds
• Use sound (bells, clapping, singing bowls) in every room
• Place protective crystals (black tourmaline, obsidian) at entrances
• Pray, chant, or invoke divine protection

Step 5: Command It to Leave

With authority and confidence, not fear:

"I command any entity, energy, or presence that is not of the highest light and love to leave this space immediately. You are not welcome here. You have no power over me. I am protected by [your guides/God/the Universe/etc.]. Leave now and do not return. This space is claimed by light."

Say this aloud, with conviction, in every room.

Step 6: Seal and Protect

After cleansing, seal your space:

• Visualize white light filling your home and creating an impenetrable shield
• Place salt lines at doorways and windows
• Hang protective symbols (crosses, pentacles, evil eye, etc.)
• Anoint doorways with protective oil (frankincense, myrrh)
• State: "This space is protected. Only love and light may enter."

Step 7: Ground Yourself

Reconnect to your body and the earth:

• Walk barefoot on grass or soil
• Eat grounding foods (root vegetables, protein)
• Physical exercise
• Spend time in nature
• Avoid spiritual practices until you feel stable

Step 8: Seek Professional Help If Needed

If the situation doesn't improve or is severe, get help:

• Experienced energy worker or shaman
• Priest, minister, or religious authority for blessing/exorcism
• Medium or psychic who specializes in entity removal
• Mental health professional (some "entity" experiences are psychological)

Don't try to handle severe attachments alone.

How to Protect Yourself During Divination

Before Every Session

Set protection:

• Visualize white or golden light surrounding you
• Call on your guides, angels, or higher power
• State: "I ask for protection from the highest light. Only energies aligned with love and truth may communicate with me."

Set clear intention:

During the Session

• Stay grounded and centered
• Don't practice in fear or desperation
• Trust your intuition—if something feels wrong, stop
• Don't engage with anything that feels negative or trickster-like
• Maintain your power—you're in control, not the entities

After Every Session

Close properly:

• Thank your guides and any benevolent energies
• State: "This session is now closed. All channels are closed. Thank you and goodbye."
• Visualize closing a door or sealing your energy field

Ground and cleanse:

• Ground yourself (eat, walk, touch earth)
• Cleanse your energy (salt water, smoke, visualization)
• Return to normal consciousness fully

Divination Tools Ranked by Risk

• Scrying (can open portals)
• Channeling or mediumship

Moderate risk:

FAQs About Divination and Negative Entities

Can tarot cards attract demons?

No. Tarot is a symbolic system that doesn't involve spirit contact. It's one of the safest divination methods and rarely attracts entities.

Is it safe to use a Ouija board?

It can be, but it's the highest-risk divination tool. Only use with proper protection, knowledge, and respect. Never use as a game or while intoxicated.

How do I know if it's an entity or my imagination?

If phenomena persist despite cleansing, affect multiple people, or escalate over time, it's likely more than imagination. Trust your gut.

Can I get possessed through divination?

True possession is extremely rare and usually requires consent (conscious or unconscious). Attachment is more common than possession.

Will sage get rid of entities?

Sage clears energy and can help with minor attachments, but severe cases may need more intensive intervention (professional help, exorcism, etc.).

The Bottom Line

Divination can attract negative entities if practiced without protection, knowledge, or respect—but this is preventable and fixable. Most divination practices are safe when done properly with clear intention, protection, and grounding.

If you've attracted something negative, don't panic. Cleanse yourself and your space, command it to leave, seal your protection, and seek help if needed. You have more power than any entity—remember that.

And going forward, always protect yourself before divination. Set clear intention, invoke your guides, create sacred space, and close properly. These simple practices will keep your divination safe, empowering, and free from unwanted spiritual attention.

The spiritual realm responds to your energy and intention. Approach it with respect, protection, and confidence—and you'll be safe.
