I moved this out so that the topic is clear it’s about your issue. 
I think the first thing is that divination isn’t designed as a communication technique and isn’t good for that. It’s to uncover the future and unknown.
The best way to get communication is to develop your intuition to get telepathic messages, insight, and what is otherwise covered under psychic or astral skills.
If you have a browse though these results, especially the ones titles “tutorial” you’ll see a variety of ways to help build your astral senses.
Also we recommend you avoid ouija boards, they’re generally considered too chaotic and parasitized to be useful. You could have been having perfectly gods results and not know it because a parasite (astral being that feeds on negative energy) was messing with you. That’s fine for tend wanting titilation at a party alright can bring trouble, but for serious mages those are not your go-to tool. Make nice wall art and that’s about it.
A god starting point of you had to pick one method is the sigil method. You get one on one contact with a named and known entity, lucifer is good for beginners, and all out specific questions.
I highly recommend learning how to banish and cleanse and make sure any nasties that came through the ouija board are cleared out. Ouija boards can open portals to poorly controlled astral locations, depending on how you use them.
