Agreed. Some seem to think praying to archangels is satanic, somehow. There's a lot of paranoia about things we don't understand and that is especially true when it comes to religious symbolism. Every symbol is not satanic...and there is so much more to God and religion that has been obfuscated, perverted & forgotten. Many times it has been purposefully hidden by bad actors because this powerful knowledge is the one truth that unites all people of all religions (obviously why this is not desirable) but also by good actors (you have to prove yourself worthy first). Even Jesus had a special small group of followers he taught separately from the others because they were ready and willing to walk the straight path. Yet there is this notion that anything occult is about Satan or evil by default, which seems to play right into the bad actors' hands.

Could you possibly be more wrong?
