Saint Michael the Archangel has long been called upon as a defender of the faithful, a slayer of evil, and a shield against unseen forces. Whether facing spiritual battles, seeking justice, or fortifying personal protection, his presence has been invoked across centuries and traditions. This class will explore both the rich history of Saint Michael and the practical ways to call upon his power, build a working relationship with him, and incorporate his presence into your spiritual practice.

We will begin with an in-depth look at Saint Michael’s origins, his roles in scripture, legend, and mystical tradition, and how he has been honored from ancient times to modern-day devotion. We’ll examine his role in Jewish, Christian, and folk traditions, his appearances in sacred texts, and how warriors, mystics, and everyday people have called upon his name for strength and protection.

The second half of the class shifts from history to practice. You will learn how to invoke Saint Michael as a personal guardian, fortify your spiritual defenses, and actively work with him for protection, justice, and strength. Topics will include:

• Essential prayers, invocations, and traditional devotions
• How to set up and maintain a Saint Michael altar or sacred space
• The use of sigils, seals, and sacred objects in calling his power
• Protection rituals and workings to bring Saint Michael’s shield into your life
• How to craft a personalized petition or invocation for his aid

This is a class for seekers, fighters, and protectors—for those who wish to stand under the shield of Saint Michael and walk forward in strength. Whether you are new to working with him or have long been devoted, this class will give you both deep knowledge and practical tools to walk in his presence with confidence.
