The difference between scrying/tarot and ouija is that ouija by nature
involves both evocation and invocation. The ouija is designed to invite a
spirit to come on over and take over part of the body (hands). It attempts
to set up a manifestation and a dialogue. Scrying is opening oneself to
information in the collective, as opposed to inviting an unknown entity to
manifest. Anytime you open yourself to random information on the psychic
level you are at some degree of risk, however your normal precautions/security
system should suffice.
Want an AOL analogy? Scrying is like surfing the web with your securities
on. You can delete the cookies.
Ouija is like opening your mail/IMs to anyone, running around making it
clear that you don't know what you are doing, talking to anyone who appears
from AOL or another chat program and downloading attachments and clicking on
unknown links.
Any insights, definitive or otherwise?
Okay, divination by tarot is a means of using a built in filter for the
information. The tarot comes with pret-a-porter symbols and the diviner
controls the interpretation. Scrying is a bit more open as it's less of a
filter and you really need to supply more of your own controls. One of the
most common sense precautions you can take with scrying is a limited exposure
during and a lot of grounding/banishing afterwards. It's also a good idea to
record/transcribe your impressions for review later - AFTER you dustbust
your space.

Wouldn't it be prudent to take the same precautions
and warnings to heart that you hear you should if you use a Ouija board or
spirit board?
