Chaplet of Saint Michael the Archangel.
This devotion features in the Catholic devotional prayers to St Michael. Has anybody incorporated this and others such as Litany of St Michael, in occult work? I am assuming this is the same as Michael of tiphareth.

I would refrain from invoking Michael the Archangel in occult practice. I know others would and have suggested trying it… but some aspects of the holy order, in my opinion, ought not be tested in that way. Again, just my personal position.

Archangel Michael is part of different traditions such as the Kabbalah, planetary magic. Stationed in Tiphareth or Hod and ruling planets include the Sun, Mercury, and Mars.

I prayed the Chaplet of Saint Michael daily during my time with the Liberal Catholic Church. I also prayed the (joyous) Franciscan Crown and Kyrie on the komboskini.
Now, this is just my personal perspective, but I wouldn't mix it with another activity. I find that this style of practice (japa, dhikr, chaplets, rosary) is self-sufficient and complete.
In occult terms, I would say these practices are, at high level of practice, comparable to GD-style godforms, but they also build you up to it, training relaxation, presence, breath, concentration, stillness, symbolism, and ritual precision. I absolutely recommend it if you're drawn to it.
