I have heard about keeping them seperate, but also, sometimes I know they have decided for themselves how they want to be kept. My cousin had one and she had all the pieces together and in the box. Put it under her bed, never moved it for a few years and then one day when she was moving she opened it and the planchette was gone! Nobody else even knew she had one or where she kept it!
If you want to use a medium board like an Ouija, I have what is called Psychic Circle. It's like an Ouija Board but much more in depth, it has a lot of different spots on the board including planet signs etc... I feel much better using it. Along with it comes a book with chants you are supposed to say before you use it so that you are inviting goodness into the circle and also asking for protection. It also suggests (which is a good idea whenever you are doing something like this) to place white candles around the board as a circle of white light and protection. You can't garuntee it's not going to bring in some mischief, but if you are careful and really aware of what you are doing and how to best use it, you should be ok. I've used mine a lot and I've never had any problems. Also, when ending I've always been told to not only say goodbye but also Amen 3 times and flip the board and tap it. Thats not in the book and I dunno if thats an old wives tale, but thats what I've heard and I do it now.
