    Only if they wish to commit idolatry.

    Michael the Archangel features in Christian, Judaic, Islamic and Celtic writings. According to tradition, Michael is there to protect and he is the patron saint of police officers and military personnel. He is assisted by a legion of angels known as the "Band of Mercy" and Michael is portrayed as holding a sword and a shield. He is supposed to send feathers as a sign of his presence when dealing with humans. Apparently, his aura is bright royal purple and it is claimed this light is connected to Christ. The same source of information said Michael is very good at fixing electrical and mechanical problems.

    So, if a woman doesn't mind praying to a created being rather than praying to the creator of that created being, and her car has broken down or her P.C. has given up the ghost, then I guess she might want to pray to this archangel. However, if she is a Christian woman, she would do no such thing.

    No one should pray to anyone other than God. When Jesus taught his disciples to pray, he taught them to pray, "Our Father who is in heaven", not "Dear Michael please help me."

    So no one, man or woman, should pray to Michael. In the book of Revelation, John describes how he fell at the feet of the angel who showed him the end times and how he began to worship the angel. The angel replied, "“You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you."

    Wishing you well.

    Was it Samson's mother who told her husband an angel had appeared to her so her husband goes, "I'd kind of like to see that!" and God obliged them.

    Praying to any angel is strictly forbidden in the Bible. Jesus is the One who came to be our advocate. Michael does the bidding of God only. He does not answer prayers.

    Job 4:18 Behold, He puts no trust in His servants, and His angels He charges with folly!

    Psa 103:20 Bless Jehovah, O angels of His, who excel in strength, who do His command, listening to the voice of His Word.

    Only God is worthy of prayer. Angels in scripture told those they manifested themselves to not to pray to them but to God.
