Starting Ouija Options

Ok so i got the stuff needed to make me a board (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumbsup.gif). So to start this will be my real first dip into magick i going to start small before handling such things as the goetia. So how would i go about using the board and do i need to draw a symbol of protection if so what would be best (Picture would be appreciated). How do i summon a spirit to commune with me what should i do if it starts to commune how do i go about asking it questions (What have more experienced people in this field asked what kind of questions) ?After i commune with it is there any particular ritual to let the spirit go but yet showing thanks to it for communicating?

Any help is appreciated thanks,

Using a spirit board is quite like writing your phone number on a wall and then waiting for a call.

It could be the Dalai Lama, eager to answer your questions. But it really depends on the wall.

As with any tool, the results correspond to the skill and intent of the user.
