Magic 8 Ball

[meta42]

I recently dug up my magic 8 ball after cleaning out the last of my things from my parent's house. If you're not familiar with it, you shake it and it gives you something along the lines of a yes or no answer. My 8 ball has been giving some strangely correct answers and I'm wondering if it is charmed or if I am just superstitious. Maybe I'm the one unintentionally charging it and doing some sort of divination? The ball has been around most of my life with the exception of the 4 years I've been out of my parent's house. It has been a witness to quite a few rituals, sigils, thought forms, astral projection, chakra balancing, and evocations. It was around 8 years ago when I first started with the occult and had no idea what I was doing.

To give two recent examples:

1. Two weeks ago my boyfriend surprised me with a Cowboy Bebop DVD. Excited to watch it, I put it into my Wii U. It didn't work, but I don't think Wii U's play DVDs at all anyway. My boyfriend jokingly grabbed the 8 ball and asked if we were going to watch Cowboy Bebop that night, it said "Don't count on it". Then I set up our DVD player in the living room. Even though it worked a week ago, it decided not to work now. Then I put it in my laptop (I had played a DVD on it a few days before) and it didn't work. We both were tired at that point and went to bed with no Cowboy Bebop.

2. Yesterday I was playing Pokemon X (Even though we're in our twenties my boyfriend and I still play Pokemon haha) and my boyfriend told me he really wanted a Rioulu. I looked up where to find it and it said there is only a 5% chance of finding one. I tried for 20 minutes and couldn't find one, so I got tired of it and grabbed the 8 ball. I asked "Will I find a Riolu in the next 2 minutes?" and the 8 ball told me yes. Then a minute later a Riolu pops on my screen.

What do you guys think?

It's possible I'd say. Sure, some would say that it's just a little game but that's exactly what ouija boards are marketed as. I'm actually somewhat surprised that it isn't a more popular method of divination. Just my opinion.

I actually just did a google search for "magic 8 ball divination" and I found posts on tarot forum and here on occult forum on the topic that i found interesting:

If you have a gift for divination - damn near anything can work for you. I always got strangely accurate answers as well until my Mother freaked out and threw it away. I think I was a young teen at the time.

If it works consistently for you - then it works.
