Small SPN question

[rivkat]

... how did Castiel find Sam & Dean without being told their location?  Did he erase the Enochian from Dean's ribs when he healed Dean last year?  Did Sam's resurrection leave him Enochianless?  Or did they just forget?

... but, he always had to give a location before! I guess if you want to handwave that Castiel's powers have increased, I can give you that.

Well, I meant more that the actual, specific act of praying might form a ~mystical connection~ (or, one might say, a profound bond *g*) between prayer and pray-ee. Neither of the boys actually tried to contact Cas via prayer last year, did they? Wasn't it all cellphone comedy, because Cas being cut off from Heaven meant he didn't have the juice/it wasn't safe enough to communicate through normal angelic channels?

*still reaching*

(I realise I have now officially put more thought into this question than the writers did. :)
