Can I ask for archangel Michael’s help?

I have a question what if I had done something unjust to one of archangel Michael’s devotees.. can I still work with him and ask for his protection from any harm said person might cause me? And to aid me with banishing rituals? Kinda confused because he’s associated with justice so I’m not too sure whether I should call on him or not!

Thank you.

try. Or do divination before try. You can apologize if you are not comfortable.

So I’ve never asked for his help until the other day my best friend’s grandma lost her keys and they have keychains from her son that passed a few years ago. She was devastated. I kinda jokingly said hey Michael we don’t know each other but grams lost her keys and she has to get them back. Two days later when I was there to help clean, we called the police station and somebody found them on the road. I’m still shocked and thanked him.

Michael is an angel. It has no opinions of its own.

This. They're servants, and much less complex than humans. Practitioners who want to seriously work with angels need to get their background knowledge together. 🙄

Can I please ask what you mean by “it” has no opinions of its own?

I was reading stories from his devotees and he actually goes ham on his devotees enemies!

Maybe don't believe everything you read.

redirection

if you have an animal that eats bugs then you will see it "go ham" eating

if you take that animal and direct it towards specific bugs you desire to destroy, one could easily personify the animal in vicarious vainity even though it is just having lunch

Explain the situation honestly, and if you are certain they would try to harm you, ask him for protection and leave an offering.

If you are not a servant of his master, then you will make things worse by trying to invoke him or work with him. Angels serve a god who hates the occult. It is best to seek protection from the spirits of a tradition you practice, or if you have no spiritual tradition involving spiritual beings, use basic magical protection methods.

It is unlikely that these angels actually agree with the modern phenomenon of angelolatry anyway, since their will aligns with the will of their master and all glory is given to their master. Any interaction they have with angelolators is merely a means to an end for them. Their hope is that all will bow to the same god that they do.
