From the Christian perspective, there are only two spiritual forces at work in the world—good and evil. When a New Age practitioner invokes blessings from a spirit guide, that person is either interacting with the Blessed Trinity, or that person is dealing with fallen angels, known as demons.

Because the vast majority of the New Age movement is focused on the worship of the feminine goddess, many fallen angels have been impersonating the Blessed Mother. By doing so, these demonic entities are able to divert healthy devotions away from God, and place it on themselves.

Not only do New Age practitioners visit false apparition sites seeking an encounter with the Ascended Master Mother Mary, but Marian devotions, including the Rosary, is widely accepted and promoted within the New Age movement. For example, on one popular metaphysical site, a spiritual entity who has identified herself as Mother Mary, made the following statement:

“I was known then as Mary, the mother of Jesus. And after that lifetime as Mary, I did indeed win my permanent ascension to the spiritual realm. Thus, I am today an ascended being, and I have chosen to remain with Earth in order to serve as a teacher, as a guardian, as a guide for you and those of your brothers and sisters who have not yet escaped the human prison.

“Since my ascension I have not stood still. I have risen higher in the ranks here in Heaven, for truly, as Jesus said, In my Father's house are many mansions. There are levels of attainment even in the Heaven world, and since my ascension I have attained a greater understanding, internalization and oneness with the consciousness and Being of the Mother aspect of God. And thus I am today the representative of the Divine Mother for planet Earth.”¹

According to this New Age website, this spiritual entity has been advising her followers to pray the Rosary for the following reasons: “It benefits you personally and it benefits the planet. Giving a rosary invokes spiritual energy, or light, that streams through your consciousness as you are saying the words. The energy is directed into the specific conditions—in your own psyche and situation and in the collective consciousness and world affairs—where it begins to consume all opposition to the highest potential for every situation.”²

There are more than thirty different New Age Rosaries listed on this site to help people with a variety of problems. For example, one Rosary is designed to bless the earth and prevent earthquakes. Mary describes this Rosary by saying, “I desire to bring you another tool that can be the very stopgap measure that will help the Earth rise without cracking. That tool is the Miracle Rosary that I am releasing today through this messenger. I encourage all those, who have ears to hear, to use this rosary, if possible on a daily basis.”³

According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church in section 2664, “There is no other way of Christian prayer than Christ.” Our prayers have “access to the Father only if we pray in the name of Jesus.” According to the Catechism in section 2564, “Christian prayer is a covenant relationship between God and man in Christ.” According to the Catechism in section 2565, “Prayer is the living relationship of the children of God with their Father who is good beyond measure, with his Son Jesus Christ and with the Holy Spirit.”
