A vow (Lat. votum, vow, promise; see vote) is a transaction between a person and his/her/its deity whereby the former undertakes in the future to render some service or gift or devotes something valuable now and here to his use. The vow is a kind of oath, with the deity being both the witness and recipient of the promise. For an example see the Book of Judges. Also, see the Bodhisattva vows.
The god is usually reckoned to be going to grant some special favor to his votary in return for the promise made or service declared.
A vow has to be distinguished, firstly, from other and lower ways of persuading or constraining supernatural powers to give what man desires and to help him in time of need; and secondly, from the ordered ritual and regularly recurring ceremonies of religion. These two distinctions must be examined a little more at length.
