Sigils | Yani | Saturday, June 2, 2018 |
Question: I bought a sigil for the archangel Raphael from amazon not too long ago, not to perform any magic or spell or what have you. I am a roman catholic and was baptized and confirmed in a Catholic church. The reason I bought a medal with Archangel Raphael's sigil is that he was my confirmation saint, and so I felt the need to buy something that represented him (at least I hope it does). |

Dear Yani: Sigils as the one you bought at Amazon are magical in nature. Christians should avoid them. You need to destroy this or any other occult material you have. We have a pamplet on how to do this: Procedure to Destroy Occultic or Cursed Objects The difference between these magical sigils and medals, scapulars, and other sacramentals is that they are sacramentals blessed by a priests. Father Hardon's Modern Catholic Dictionary states:
Sigils design to invoke magic, spells, and the like (which is what you bought) can be very harmful in that just owning it can attract demonic attention. Such things can also inspire dangerous curiosity. Destroy it, do not just throw it away for someone else to potentially find. The Seal of Solomon is a legend. It was attributed to Solomon by medieval Jewish tradition, and in Islamic and Western occultism. The legend was primarily developed by Arab Muslims in the medieval period. It has no actually connection to King Solomon. Again, this is something Christians should not own. God Bless, For information on how to receive help see our Help page.
