If this is what you want to do then there are many ways of getting there without making yourself $170 poorer in the process
At a simple level, a ouija board is just like any other divination tool - it's a physical point of focus for a physical entity - you/me - to interact with a non-physical world. A keyboard for the world of spirit, you might say.
So, back in the good old days the teleprinter was a really cool way of getting a message from A to B. You could type into it and miles away a spinning wheel or golf ball or type writer arrangement would reproduce what you just typed on the paper in the machine - whoa! Just think of slow texting in real time - mistakes and all. Now we have videophone.
Information from spirit doesn't come letter by stumbling letter, it comes in great big globs of download data, smells, pictures, words, impressions, memories. You don't process it one bit at a time, you parallel process enormous chunks unconsciously and then work through at a conscious level. Can you imagine how frustrating it would be to be told the only way you could talk to someone was writing one letter at a time and showing it to them......and you had a long message you wanted to get across? I'd be flapping the curtains with frustration too!!!!
You read/use tarot - right? So, you're used to working with pictures, images, impressions, feelings from people? How do these come to you?
Much has been made of the 'negative' side of ouija - OK, if you walk down a dark alley in the very nastiest part of town at 2am with your wallet sticking out of your back pocket, does it take too much imagination to guess what happens next?
If you sit down with the intent of making contact with spirit and ask the muggers delight "Is anybody there?" - well guess what? of course there is! Bearing in mind that you are doing this in an 'open' attitude, then the bad things that can and do happen are just around the corner. We're not talking evil zombie flesh-eating bogies, but just because someone nasty has died they don't turn nice automatically! If they choose to retain their earthly traits then that is free will - if you allow them in then there is always room for problems to arise.
You want to make contact with your grandfather? If you have a picture of him then use that in the same way as you might meditate on the meaning of the Ace of Pentacles or whatever. Listen for the message, ask the question, visualise him with you, believe in yourself, trust yourself, but above all, allow spirit to be with you as fully as it can be, not letter by letter.
If you wish to speak with your grandfather, ask what he would prefer you to do. If - as you feel - he is your present guide then you have no need for further protection. If you are not sure, then a very useful way is to ask that all those who love and guide you are there with you and that only contact for the highest good will be possible.
