AN OUIJA BOARD IS USED TO TELL THE FUTURE, AND
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU ASK IT. (INFORMANT ACTUALLY
BELIEVES THAT A OUIJA BOARD HAS MAGICAL POWERS OF
SOME KIND. SHE SAYS THAT AS A CHILD, SHE AND HER
BROTHERS AND SISTERS USED TO USE ONE, BUT STOPPED
BECAUSE SHE WAS TOLD BY A NUN THAT THE OUIJA BOARD
IS A "TOOL OF THE DEVIL.")
