Planchettes

Wood, metal, and crystal planchettes for automatic writing and spirit boards. Cast, carved, and finished in our own workshop.

Automatic writing and Ouija planchettes, made by hand.

The planchette is the oldest tool of spirit communication still in everyday use. Ours come in two families: automatic writing planchettes that hold a pencil and glide across paper, and Ouija planchettes with a lens or pointer for use on a talking board.

Each one is built for how it actually feels in use: weight, balance, the glide of the feet, and the clarity of the window. We make them in hardwood, cast metal, and crystal-set versions, and we can match any board you already own.

Questions, answered

The things people ask before ordering.

Will a metal planchette work on a wooden board?

Yes. All of our planchettes have felt or polished feet chosen for the surface you tell us about.

What is an automatic writing planchette?

A small platform on casters that holds a pencil. Resting your fingertips on it lets it move freely across paper.

Do you sell boards?

Talking boards are coming. Pendulum boards are available now at Pendulum Boards.
