A Planchette, commonly used in seances with ouija boards, has several key significances:
 
Spiritual communication:  Used to communicate with spirits or the deceased, believed to spell out messages.
 
Ouija Boards:  Moves across the board to indicate letters, numbers, or words, conveying messages from the spiritual realm.
 
Historical use in spiritualism:  Gained popularity in the 19th century for automatic writing, thought to be spirit-guided.
 
Psychological interpretation:  Some believe its movement is due to the ideomotor effect, caused by subconscious psychological forces.
 
Cultural significance:  An icon in ghost stories and supernatural phenomena in movies, literature, and popular culture.
 
The planchette remains a symbol of curiosity in the paranormal and spiritual communication, despite skepticism from the scientific community.
