Angels are messengers from the Divine, and as such, they will work with ANYONE who asks. You don’t have to be of a certain religion and you don’t have to be religious or spiritual to ask for angelic assistance. They are there to help everyone and that is their MISSION. They do not make exceptions. They won’t refuse a Buddhist, Hindu, pagan, or anyone else. However, this man told me that due to his upbringing he felt uncomfortable with anything having to do with religion and based on that he would NOT call on Michael for help. I wanted to cry. I don’t know this man and I don’t know what happened to him while growing up that would cause him to turn his back on angelic help that would definitely fix his problem for him, but all I can do is pray for him and hopefully one day soon he will open his heart and seek out the type of help that can definitely and definitively take care of his problem for him once and for all.
Michael does not want anyone to feel that they cannot call on him. He has told me numerous times in channeling sessions he is here for EVERYONE regardless of their religion, spirituality, or lack thereof. He has made this abundantly clear many times to me and insists that all angels feel the same way because it is their mission, their job. Being of help and of service to all is their main mission, their purpose and their reason for existing.
I express gratitude to Michael almost daily. He has gotten me out of more spiritual scrapes than I can count & he is ALWAYS there for me at a second’s notice, and I know he is ALWAYS there for EVERYONE who calls upon him. So, thank you, Michael, for always being there for me and for being my very special friend.
Below is the long version of the prayer to Archangel Michael. For anyone who wishes to call upon him for help in whatever circumstances, this prayer is very powerful and I have used it with 100% success in cases of demonic infestation, obsession, and possession. I recommend you repeat it 3 times in a row without stopping, then state your petition to Archangel Michael. For much more power you may wish to repeat the prayer nine times, then state your petition.
If you wish, you may also light a candle to Michael. For fighting negativity the preferred color is red. Stores also sell “saint” or “novena” candles. This is what it looks like. It’s 10″ tall and completely encased in glass. Always leave your candles burning safely and never leave them unattended. You may want to put this candle in a baking dish with about 1″ of water in it. Sometimes, depending on how severe the negativity is that you ask Michael to battle for you, sparks can fly off of his candle.
When you get the candle home it needs to be cleansed before use to clear it of any negative vibrations it may have picked up elsewhere. You do this by rubbing the candle from the middle OUT toward each end, & don’t forget to include the wick. Imagine gray or black smoke leaving the candle. If you notice how much the candle weighs before you start the process you will most likely notice that it becomes slightly lighter in weight. That’s because you’re clearing it of negative vibrations.
Once the candle feels “better” to you (use your own intuition on this), you then place your intention INTO the candle. You do this by rubbing the candle from either end TOWARD THE MIDDLE while focusing on your intention. This places your will and your desire into the candle so as it burns your energy of what you desire to manifest will be released into the atmosphere. Notice that the candle may start to feel heavier, or it may grow hot or begin to tingle. All that are signs you have successfully charged your candle with your intentions.
Light the candle and repeat the prayer to St. Michael 9 times without stopping, then ask him to do specifically what you need done. Allow the candle to burn itself out completely. Be sure it’s placed in a SAFE area away from papers, books, curtains, drafts, anything that could cause a spark to fly off of it and ignite a fire. What I do is I will set mine in a baking pan with about 1/2″ to 1″ of water in the pan. So if a spark flies off it hits the water and nothing happens.
These candles take approximately 7 days to burn themselves out if left burning 24/7. If you leave your home and cannot leave the candle burning, you need to SNUFF it out (never blow out a candle as that is insulting to the Fire element). Then when you relight it each day (DO NOT MISS A DAY) you will also need to repeat Michael’s prayer 9 times without stopping. Also, even if you do not snuff the candle out, repeat Michael’s prayer 9 times a day for the duration of the candle’s burn time.
When it goes out, candles leave remains behind. It may get dark soot up along the rim that may extend downward along the glass for an inch or two. That is trapped negativity. DO NOT TOUCH THE SOOT. Otherwise you run the risk of absorbing that negative energy into yourself. On the base of the candle it may leave behind blobs of carbon. Performing enchantments for clients (what I call “spells” – see: [url=http://www.magickal-musings.com/spells.html]http://www.magickal-musings.com/spells.html[/url]) I see these all the time. I call them “obstacles” and they show that additional work needs to be done. Sometimes symbols appear that give me further information about the situation.
Examine your candle remains and if there is any soot or any obstacles, repeat the candle and do not allow more than 3 days to lapse between candles. Keep burning them until the candle burns clear – no soot, no obstacles. Then you’ll know the situation has been taken care of and resolved. Here is the prayer: I know this is very “Catholic,” it is a Catholic prayer, after all, but I guarantee you this is the MOST POWERFUL prayer to Michael that I have ever run across.
Original – Prayer to St. Michael
“O Glorious Prince of the heavenly host, St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in the battle and in the terrible warfare that we are waging against the principalities and powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against the evil spirits. Come to the aid of man, whom Almighty God created immortal, made in His own image and likeness, and redeemed at a great price from the tyranny of Satan.
“Fight this day the battle of the Lord, together with the holy angels, as already thou hast fought the leader of the proud angels, Lucifer, and his apostate host, who were powerless to resist thee, nor was there place for them any longer in Heaven. That cruel, ancient serpent, who is called the devil or Satan who seduces the whole world, was cast into the abyss with his angels. Behold, this primeval enemy and slayer of men has taken courage. Transformed into an angel of light, he wanders about with all the multitude of wicked spirits, invading the earth in order to blot out the name of God and of His Christ, to seize upon, slay and cast into eternal perdition souls destined for the crown of eternal glory. This wicked dragon pours out, as a most impure flood, the venom of his malice on men of depraved mind and corrupt heart, the spirit of lying, of impiety, of blasphemy, and the pestilent breath of impurity, and of every vice and iniquity.
“These most crafty enemies have filled and inebriated with gall and bitterness the Church, the spouse of the immaculate Lamb, and have laid impious hands on her most sacred possessions. In the Holy Place itself, where the See of Holy Peter and the Chair of Truth has been set up as the light of the world, they have raised the throne of their abominable impiety, with the iniquitous design that when the Pastor has been struck, the sheep may be.
“Arise then, O invincible Prince, bring help against the attacks of the lost spirits to the people of God, and give them the victory. They venerate thee as their protector and patron; in thee holy Church glories as her defense against the malicious power of hell; to thee has God entrusted the souls of men to be established in heavenly beatitude. Oh, pray to the God of peace that He may put Satan under our feet, so far conquered that he may no longer be able to hold men in captivity and harm the Church. Offer our prayers in the sight of the Most High, so that they may quickly find mercy in the sight of the Lord; and vanquishing the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, do thou again make him captive in the abyss, that he may no longer seduce the nations. Amen. V. Behold the Cross of the Lord; be scattered ye hostile powers. R. The Lion of the tribe of Judah has conquered the root of David. V. Let Thy mercies be upon us, O Lord. R. As we have hoped in Thee. V. O Lord, hear my prayer. R. And let my cry come unto Thee. Let us pray. O God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, we call upon Thy holy Name, and as supplicants, we implore Thy clemency, that by the intercession of Mary, ever Virgin Immaculate and our Mother, and of the glorious St. Michael the Archangel, Thou wouldst deign to help us against Satan and all the other unclean spirits who wander about the world for the injury of the human race and the ruin of souls. Amen.”
