Prayer

To anyone who prays how do you pray? For me it depends on the deity and how formal im being. Sometimes I just whisper a prayer. I prefer saying my prayers outloud in a whisper when I'm not doing a formal ritual. I may do this laying down, sitting, walking, any position really. Sometimes i pray in ritual. I may turn on an electric candle prior at my altar and talk. If im outside i may light an actual candle. I may chant I may shout i might whisper depending on the ritual or who im praying to. I may do a more formal ritual usually involving poetry or spellwork in said ritual. If it's a deity associated with the dead or the underworld in any way I may get on one knee knock on the ground and still on one knee I then put my hands in front of me one palm facing up the other facing palm down. Then I pray with my head either down or facing straight ahead never really up. So how do y'all pray

The Catholics have corrupted me. I do best with mantra meditation, usually with a mala (prayer beads).

Which type or from which culture ? I have even seen prayer beads for Greek polytheists for sale.

I saw some luciferian ones. But I haven't really thought too deeply on it just considered it

I’ve recently started performing what I call rituals once in a while, where I use props to call on a deity name. I will do minor chores to show effort in setting up the room and altar, to make sure the area is clean and I believe efforts make it more stronger. I have once went out into the cold for ten minutes searching for the best stick to use as a wand.

but I also believe just praying through simple words or even in my head works just as well

Probably should not have used the word provoke.
