The Difference Between Prayer and Wish Craft

Some people pray. Other craft wishes, otherwise known as casting spells. Is there really a difference between the two? Most Christians would stand up and shout that there definitely was. On the other hand most others would say no. I am neither a Christian nor an other. I have no one set belief but am fascinated by them all. Let's take a look at the differences between prayer and wish craft.

To understand the differences between any two things one must first understand each separate thing. That's the way I see it. So, let's first take a look at what prayer actually is.

Prayer is something that people do in order to bring a positive outcome to a certain situation. If they, or a loved one are ill then they would pray for them to be healed. When people pray they are praying for a specific intention. People pray for guidance, help, and positive outcomes to situations with the intention of their prayers being answered. The one who answers prayers is the one who is prayed to. This one is the Divine, known to most people as God. In general people pray silently, in their mind, and in their thoughts. They may take no physical position at all but rather just be as and where they are. Prayer is a meditative process.

One relaxes themselves to the point of a spiritual meditative state and connects themselves with God. They direct their intentions to God and call upon God to come to them for aid and assistance. Energy flows both ways. It is your energy directed towards God and God's energy coming to aid you. Sincere prayers are heard and received. God comes to aid those with pure and sincere intentions. They then proceed to "speak" to god, either in their minds or actually out loud. Some people who pray do however choose to take a physical position of being on hands and knees, or make the actual physical movements of clasping hands and/or bowing their heads. They then speak to God, telling him about the problem and situation at hand. They then hope that God does hear them and does help them to help themselves. They wish for direction and hope to receive it.
