Dusting off this article from 2013 because someone asked about St. Michael and punitive miracles. *** Iβm posting this as a blog entry 1. because I canβt seem to comment on Catβs blog (maybe she turned off comments or my browser is jacked up), and 2. I donβt want to take over her blog with my rambling anyway. Anyway, this is in responseΒ to her blog post here. I just want to chime in on the βsaints punishing youβ thing (if you read this whole thing, youβll see that I am not disagreeing with her β Iβm just elaborating). People tend...

I very frequently see folks online say things like this: βThough technically speaking Archangel Michael is not a Saint [sic], sometimes this entity is venerated as one.β Iβm not linking to the source for that because my goal is not to single anyone out for being wrong. Thing is, this is not an uncommon misperception. Itβs pretty easy to find multiple websites and blogs that say something to this effect β even those of folks who are otherwise pretty well-versed in folk religion and/or folk magic. If this were just a couple of blogs and not a pretty widespread point...
