[Alex]

a prayer that has no meaning to the speaker has no power for the speaker. words are only infused with energy under the direct choice of the person using them.

the prayer one chooses to use should be thought of by the person using it, calling upon things they truly resonate with. otherwise its just meaningless words.

same goes for wicca, if you dont believe in the ritual then nothing ever happens. the rituals themselves are powerless. it is the suggestive power/co-creation of the person involved that makes "magic" happen.

the actions of prayer/ritual/service etc only hold weight if the person believes they have power, otherwise these things are non-essential and the simple conscious choice/drive of the individual is all that is required.

i.e. no prayer, no mass, no altars, no voodoo witch doctors, simply knowing and understanding that you are protected, you have power over your existance, and your free will is the will of god, thus it is divine, is all you need.

continue spiraling ever upwards,
