Contrary to popular belief, ââ¬ÅOuijaââ¬Â is not a combination of the French for ââ¬Åyes,ââ¬Â oui, and the German ja. Murch says, based on his research, it was Bondââ¬â¢s sister-in-law, Helen Peters (who was, Bond said, a ââ¬Åstrong mediumââ¬Â), who supplied the now instantly recognizable handle. Sitting around the table, they asked the board what they should call it; the name ââ¬ÅOuijaââ¬Â came through and, when they asked what that meant, the board replied, ââ¬ÅGood luck.ââ¬Â Eerie and crypticââ¬âbut for the fact that Peters acknowledged that she was wearing a locket bearing the picture of a woman, the name ââ¬ÅOuijaââ¬Â above her head. Thatââ¬â¢s the story that emerged from the Ouija foundersââ¬â¢ letters; itââ¬â¢s very possible that the woman in the locket was famous author and popular womenââ¬â¢s rights activist Ouida, whom Peters admired, and that ââ¬ÅOuijaââ¬Â was just a misreading of that.
