Well the magical thinking of using Mary or any other human to control God

Could you show me any Catholic source that demonstrats Mary controlling God? I seem to have missed that.

Then of course you have all the superstitions associated with rosaries, medals, apparitions, omens and the like.

Please elaborate. I always find it amusing to be told what Catholicism teaches by people who have no idea what Catholicism teaches. It's fun.

For what purpose then is Mary petitioned? Isn’t it the old schoolboy refrain, Well if you want something from Jesus ask his mother and he will give it to her?

Here's a website,offering protection from evil. Apparently God can't help you, but these things will

http://www.tldm.org/tldmstore/PersonalProtectionPacket.htm

Our Lady tells us to be protected from all evil, we must wear the following sacramentals around our necks: a rosary, a crucifix, the St. Benedict medal, the Miraculous Medal, and the scapular. We have all of these sacramentals in a packet we call "Heaven's Personal Protection Packet." This packet is available for a donation of $5.00 and is listed in the sacramental section of the order form. This packet is blessed by a priest
