Prayer is the act of attempting to communicate, commonly with a sequence of words, with a deity or spirit for the purpose of worshipping, requesting guidance, requesting assistance, confessing sins or to express one's thoughts and emotions. The words of the prayer may take the form of intercession, a hymn, incantation or a spontaneous utterance in the person's praying words. Secularly, the term can also be used as an alternative to "hope".

Hey this is wikipedias interpretation of the word Orison. I find that its description of it being a way to comunicate with a spirit most interesting, as it is a recording of the dead. Is it simply a recording or dose it record their attitudes personalities?

Anyhow, I also find the description of it as "Hope" quite interesting.
