Most spells, or probably all spells, have some form of ritual. But rituals are performed in most forms of worship. The Catholic Mass is a ritual for instance. Therefore, a spell is a ritual; but not all rituals are spells.

I think when doing a very important spell that can last more than a day or making sure you get want you need, the ritual spell is perfect a spell that make sure you get what you need. It's pretty much you add in your stuff that symbolize you want and get it done.

The question was "what is the difference". The poster did not ask for an example of spells!

They are similar, so I find it hard to define them. Basically a spell you are asking for something while a ritual you are worshiping [or giving thanks for] something. A ritual could be done on a holiday to thank a deity for a harvest while a spell could be cast to protect the crop from insects. Both don't necessarily need a deity involved, but most do. Hopefully I helped instead of made things worse.
