flashback friday favorite ~ kabala

this is a flashback friday favorite post from halloween of 2014..

first of all happy halloween everyone! may your day & night be filled with ghoulish delight! ~

for this special day a special game from the vintage 60's ~

ka-bala the mysterious game that foretells the future! ~

forget that old 8 ball, this thing does it all & it even glows in the dark ~

made by transogram the folks who gave us green ghost which i posted up last halloween ~

in the box ~

$3.88! ~

the board is round underneath & players place their hands on either side planchette style ~

players then ask questions & receive answers through the cards, the signs & the mystic glowing eye of zohar! ~

if it all sounds a little ouija-esque, it is! in fact i was fortunate enough to buy this vintage game in its box unused from a priest who was selling it as part of an effort to raise money for unwed moms & hungry kids, so i even had him say a blessing over it as he packed it for post so i'd feel safe with it in my toyroom! lol.. ~

instructions, cards & accessories ~

assembly for the eye of zohar ~

my sister got this game one xmas long ago & i've always wanted to get it again, so this is a true lost & found item ~

the cards are still unseparated ~

much like standard tarot cards ~

the cards are placed in the spaces provided around the board ~

original instructions ~

players chant 'pax, sax, sarax, hola, noa nostra' ~

the dark marble rolls around the board & indicates letters & responses yes & no as the eye of zohar guides its movement ~

is ka-bala a cool vintage game? ~

yes! ~

from 1967 ~

turn off the lights & play if you dare! they just don't make kids' games like they used to ~

this ad came included in the game box ~

the happy hollisters mystery book ~

UPDATE: by special request i have scanned the instructions to a pdf file ~

kabala instruction page
