I recently started doing the SOP to the Archangels, Mary and Jesus after doing some divination with the Rider-Waite tarot regarding which gods to change to from the elemental SOP. After reading your comments about Waite in your post 'The Doctrine and Ritual of High Magic' regarding Waite trying to convince people that Christian orthodoxy was the one true path and previous comments that each divination system has its own character I am wondering - is the Rider-Waite tarot likely to be biased in favour of Christianity?
Whilst doing this SOP I had an experience the first time I invoked St Michael. Whilst invoking him I was wondering if I would be able to feel a friendly presence as I did when I did the LBRP for a while before the SOP. I didn't feel anything, and thought "maybe he's there but I just can't sense him". I was holding out my right hand when I thought this and immediately energy shot up my fingers into my hand. I took this to mean YES. Do you think this is probably right?
Does doing the angelic SOP with Mary and Jesus commit me to Christianity? I am just feeling my way and currently quite unsure about my path.

Many thanks for all you do.
