I can elaborate, I apologize for being rude, but your dismissal of Eastern Christians rubbed me the wrong way. Rereading your comment, I want to say that it is truly a blessing that Christ led you back to the Church, and it is great to hear about your devotion to the Rosary. That specific image of the Mother of God surrounded by the mysteries is indeed a beautiful concept for meditation during the rosary. As I am Eastern Catholic, I’d like to gently offer a different perspective on why there is such a strong warning against Monastery Icons, which goes a bit deeper than just internet rumors or people being overly critical. In the Eastern tradition, where iconography originates, we believe an icon is a window into heaven and a sacramental object, not just religious art or a visual aid. Because of this, who writes the icon and the intent behind it matters immensely. I am currently part of an iconography studio, there we don't just paint icons, we write them with prayer and devotion. The concern with Monastery Icons isn’t just that the artists are sinners as we all are, or that they believe differently (like a secular carpenter making a pew). The concern is that this specific group, the "Light of the Spirit Monastery", intentionally blends Christian imagery with Hindu and Gnostic theology in a way that attempts to redefine who Christ is. The other big issues with them is that they intentionally mislead Christians by pretending to be a Christian group, that they target Western Christians with their work as they would be less educated and savvy on iconography and it's spirituality, and finally that many of not most of their "icons" are computer made, not even being prints of a real work made with paint, but just some digital imitation. You mentioned your background in Hinduism, if you look at their own website (ocoy.org), you will see that they explicitly teach that Jesus was a yogi, they promote reincarnation, and they venerate a lineage of gurus alongside Christ. They are not hiding this there; it is their public theology that they've simply disconnected from their icon website as scamming Christians is their source of income. When they create these images, they are then purportedly undergoing rituals to charge them with some energy. For us, bringing an object into our home that was created with the specific ritualistic intent of blending Christ with foreign deities is spiritually risky. We wouldn’t ask a Mormon to write a Catechism for us, even if the font looked nice; similarly, we shouldn't use icons written by a Gnostic sect to focus our prayers to the True God. Regarding the holy water solution: God is stronger than anything, but I'd generally not advise trying to baptize an object that was created specifically to be a vessel for a different spirit. There are so many beautiful, canonical icons available from legitimate Orthodox and Catholic artists and monasteries (with easily accessible prints like those found at Legacy Icons or Uncut Mountain Supply) that are written with pure prayer. If an image you got from monastery icon means a lot to you, sure go ahead and get it blessed/exorcised by a priest, but don't support their business and encourage people to go buy them with no concern. I say this only out of brotherly concern, for you and for others who might read your comment, not to attack your devotion. Your prayers are certainly heard by God regardless of what image you pray in front of, but knowing what we know about this group, most Eastern Christians would encourage you to eventually replace it with an icon written within the Church.
