The Origins of the Saint Benedict Medal: An Immersion in History and Symbols
Introduction:
The Saint Benedict Medal represents an object of profound veneration for the Catholic Church and its faithful. Depicting the patron saint of Europe, this medal boasts a rich history linked to protection from evil and the snares of the devil. Let's discover together its origins, its symbols and the changes it has undergone over the centuries.
The first traces and the manuscript of 1415:
The first testimonies linked to the Saint Benedict Medal emerged in 1647 during a witchcraft trial in Bavaria. The defendants mention a Benedictine monastery, Metten, where the presence of a cross with mysterious symbols had prevented a curse. Inside the monastery library, a manuscript from 1415 was found which provides clarification on these symbols.
The original medals and their casting:
The Saint Benedict medal that we know today differs from the original one (see photo 2). Our medal derives from the fusion of the original medal of San Benedetto (photo 2) with the medal of San Bernardo (photo 1).
The medal of Saint Benedict bore the exorcism "Holy Cross, you are my light, let not the devil be my leader".
The Saint Bernard medal, however, featured the exorcism “Vade, retro Satan. Don't attract me to your vanities. The drinks you offer me are evil. Drink your poisons yourself.”
In the center of the original medal there was the abbreviation of the name of Jesus, "IHS" (photo 2), symbol of his presence in the lives of the faithful and of his protection from evil. It is assumed that the two medals were often represented on two distinct sides of the same medal (see photo 3). An example of this double representation is found in the medal present in the monastery of Subiaco (photo 4).
Changes over the centuries:
During the 18th century, the word “ihs” was replaced with “pax”, which means “peace” in Latin and represents the importance of inner and spiritual peace. These changes led to the modern medal, which is actually a commemorative medal, a modified concept from the original medals.
Conclusion:
The Saint Benedict Medal, with its rich history and powerful symbols, represents a tangible sign of faith and protection for devotees. Its evolution over the centuries testifies to the constant search for a union between tradition and contemporary meaning.

Saint Benedict For Protection With Bath Ritual & More.
Tumblr media
If you need help protection yourself or your loved ones from evil and danger, You call upon Saint Benedict for help.
Who was Saint Benedict? Saint Benedict of Nursia. He was the son of a noble family, and founder of the Benedictine monastery , he went and founded twelve monasteries. When he was a young man, his family sent him to Rome for studies then went on to become a monk.
To Christians St. Benedict is proclaimed as the patron saint of Exorcisms. The Medal is recognized by the Church as a powerful symbol and weapon of protection and liberation against curses and evil influences which when used evil can't stand looking at it. (it's the one saint I would use against evil) Using this medal with prayer is powerful for removing evil as well as preforming with exorcisms. He is also the patron saint of Fields and Farmers.
Petitioning Saint Benedict. When you need protection from evil or the effects of temptation, Light a white candle and dressed around the wick with a dab of Angelica Oil (I use Holy Oil). Sit peacefully, and clear your mind. When you are ready, say his prayer. You can add incense with holy oil and burn. Use your bell and or rattle to clear the space and call apon him.
Protective Bath Saint Benedict: If you need this kind of protection, begin by drawing a bath of fresh, clean water. Add Holy Hyssop bath wash. Next day his prayer. When the bath is ready, step in and fully immerse yourself. Allow the power of the hyssop to cleanse and protect you. After you are ready, step out, and allow yourself to air dry.
Useing a Saint Benedict Medal: In your hands. Hold it to your heart, and ask the saint for help in protecting you from evil. But be specific in what your asking for.
This medal can be added with the railroad spikes or coffin nails that you put around your house or yard. Or you can make a charm. (see posts on both coffin nails & railroad spikes) before useing this medal bless it with a prayer like blessing a object prayer or have a minister like myself to do it for you.

Offering: fresh flowers, or a glass of water on your altar.

Hi angel on Earth. I tried to commit suicide on Friday. As I went to complete it I was distracted by the Saint Benedict medal that was on my desk. I never knew what it meant and for some reason I had to know in the moment so I went on a deep dive googling it and eventually fell asleep before I got around to committing the act. I’d like to think that was divine intervention of some sort. It’s Sunday now. I still want to do it but now it’s in passing waves. Can I receive a prayer? I know that I have the strength to keep going but I am so tired and sad and hopeless and lonely and don’t really want to anymore. I’ve been holding on for so long but it only gets worse. Idk what lesson I’m supposed to be learning from all the trials and tribulations. Thank you for your work. Gods love flows through you and unite many. Have a blessed day
Visit these links tonight!!
——
I don’t have the entire medal memorized because it’s rich in prayer but my favorite from it on the back, it’s literally an exorcism prayer. Look at the medal:
C. S. S. M. L. (Crux Sacra Sit Mihi Lux):
“The Holy Cross be my light.”
N. D. S. M. D. (Non Draco Sit Mihi Dux):
“May the dragon never be my guide!”
The Latin Exorcism Prayers:
Saint Benedict said the following words after monks tried killing him. Once he realized they poisoned his drink, he said this:
V. R. S. (Vade Retro Satan):
“Get away, Satan.”
N. S. M. V. (Nunquam Suade Mihi Vana):
“Never tempt me with your vanities!”
S. M. Q. L. (Sunt Mala Quae Libas):
“What you offer me is evil.”
I. V. B. (Ipse Venena Bibas):
“Drink the poison yourself!”
——-
I’ll keep you in my prayers.

saw someone getting very upset on here about 'appropriation of Catholicism' and hi, as a Catholic friend of yours, I want you to know you have my full permission to do whatever your gay little heart desires with mainstream Catholic aesthetics*, you can't appropriate something that did a violent colonialism on most of the world in a way that is going to have a statistically significant damaging effect on it as an institution. The only people who get wound up about someone drawing their blorbos like St. Sebastian or dressing in drag as a Sister of Perpetual Indulgence or whatever are people who have been so insulated for so long that they don't know or remember the difference between 'eh, not for me' and 'this does serious harm to my faith and is evil and you need to stop.' Just don't use what you take from Catholicism to hurt other people** and you're good.
The one thing I'll kind of look at funny is novena candles for celebrities that are still alive. Like. We use those to connect to the Dead People With Skills Intercession Hotline. Are you sure you want to light a novena candle to a living person. Like. I personally would feel weird doing that.
-
*I specify mainstream, because as usual it is best to leave folk practices alone if you're not of the culture they're from, especially if you're white and the folk practice is from a closed tradition that you have not specifically been invited to take part in. Mainstream stuff though? Whose toes are you going to step on, the Vatican's?
**the actual Catholic Church has been notorious for centuries for doing exactly this to millions of people, to the point of wiping out several cultures, so whatever you're doing, your record is cleaner than the actual institution's record! Put on the saint medal just because you think it's pretty and forget it in your necklace bin a week later! Saint Benedict doesn't care and neither do I!

Exorcism Prayers for the Laity
SAINT BENEDICT MEDAL PRAYER
(2-min. read)
“𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞.” (𝐄𝐱𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐁𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩 𝐀𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚 𝐆𝐞𝐦𝐦𝐚)
1 HISTORY
During a trial for witchcraft at Natternberg near the Abbey of Metten in Bavaria in the year 1647, the accused women testified that they had no power over Metten, which was under the protection of the cross. Upon investigation, a number of painted crosses, surrounded by the letters which are now found on Benedictine medals, were found on the walls of the abbey, but their meaning had been forgotten.
Finally, in an old manuscript, written in 1415, was found a picture representing St. Benedict holding in one hand a staff which ends in a cross, and a scroll in the other. On the staff and scroll were written in full the words of which the mysterious letters were the initials. Medals bearing the image of St. Benedict, a cross, and these letters began now to be struck in Germany, and soon spread over Europe. They were first approved by Benedict XIV in his briefs of 23 December 1741, and 12 March 1742.
(Catholic Encyclopedia)
2 LATIN INVOCATIONS

“I am an oblate of a Benedictine Abbey. A couple of years ago, we had a terrible tornado in our town. I prayed to St. Benedict that my home and neighborhood would not be touched and they were not. I credit the prayers of St. Benedict.”

“My entire family has been wearing the Saint Benedict medal since the beginning of the pandemic. My husband is a physician working at one of the busiest hospitals in New York. I have a toddler that puts everything in his mouth. We travel a lot. We never got sick, never tested positive for COVID. We pray to Saint Benedict every night. He’s protecting us.”
(houseofjoppa)
Maria
Maria, a mother of three from Italy, recalls a time of great distress in her family. "There was a palpable sense of unease in our home," she says. "Nightmares, unexplained tensions, and a general feeling of malaise were frequent." A devout Catholic, Maria turned to her faith for solace and protection. After consulting with her parish priest, she placed St. Benedict Medals in her home and on her children. "It was as if a weight was lifted," she recounts. "The atmosphere in our house changed, and my children slept peacefully again."

They stand as bulwarks against the malign in every form, be it fear, doubt, despair, or the forces of evil.
In conclusion, the St. Benedict Medal and the enhanced Relijewels Medal are more than just religious artifacts.

They embody the belief that with faith, we can overcome any form of negativity or malign influence. They are indeed powerful tools in the spiritual warfare that each of us faces in our daily lives.

Benediction of Saint Benedict
The Benediction of Saint Benedict was once used as an amulet. Abbreviations of this benediction were inscribed on medals or crosses with the inclusion of words from Matthew 4:10 (“Get thee behind me, Satan”).
Tumblr media
[“Get thee behind me, Satan! You shall not convince me to do evil; whatever you show me is evil, drink your own poison! May the sacred cross be my light! May the devil not be my guide.”]
Tumblr media
A precise arrangement is respected when doing this. The first sentence occupies the border of the amulet, the second is written in the shape of a cross, then the four words Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti are written in the four corners. This amulet works against the evil spells of sorcerers and the snares set by demons; it also protects animals and is used to free the possessed.
A manuscript bearing this benediction and instructions in the ways to use the Cross of Saint Benedict was found in the Bavarian monastery of Metten in 1647. The cross was worn on a very long chain, it was dipped into the water one drank and the water used to bathe, and it was affixed to the front door of the home or buried beneath the threshold. Sometimes the reverse side of the cross bears the twenty-five letters of Zacharias’s Benediction. The variant Vade retro Satanas et omnis angele nociue percuciens drives storms away.
This “benediction” made its way into France around 1741, where it was published under the title The Effects and Virtues of the Cross or Medal of the High Patriarch Saint Benedict. Augmented with the Benediction and Prayers. Extracts from the German Printers, with the following information noted: “Paris: Chez Pierre de Bats, bookseller of the Palace, in the image of Saint Francis, DCC XLI. With permission.” The text describes how the medallion’s virtues were discovered.
In the year 1647, while hunting witches in Bavaria and even hav- ing executed several in the town of Straubingen, several of them during their interrogations confessed to the judges that their spells had no effects on the people or animals of Nattreumbec Castle, neighbor to Metten Abbey of the Benedictine Order, because of several holy medallions in places that they identified. These, in fact, were found, but no one, not even the witches, could decipher the caracteres engraved upon them, until an ancient manuscript was discovered in the library of this abbey that provided complete illumination. A full report on this was made to the Duke of Bavaria, who, wishing to learn this for himself, had the medals and manuscripts brought to the town of Ingolstadt and from there to Munich. After comparing the one with the other, he assured all that one could use these medallions profitably without any hint of errors or superstition, and had a written account drawn up of his findings.
The 1741 printing notes:
Rumors of this discovery spread throughout the land, and everyone wanted to have one of these medallions. One was obliged to make several, which were blessed by the monks of the order and produced wonderful effects, primarily against charms and evil spells, as reported by those who used them either by wearing them at their necks or by dipping them in water that was given to the bewitched animals to drink. . . .
Tumblr media
The effects of this medallion are:
Wherever this medallion is present, it drives all manner of curses, bindings, evil spells, and other diabolical effects out of the human body.
It prevents any witches, sorcerers, enchanters, or magicians from entering the places where this medal is present or approaching the people who possess it.
It is a good, quick remedy for helping animals infected and poisoned by some curse, evil spell, or other unknown ill to grow larger.
Several women in labor who were unable to deliver imme- diately gave birth once one of these medallions was hung around their neck while invoking Saint Benedict.
This holy medallion is a guaranteed remedy for creatures infected by a demon; by wearing it they will possess full peace and self-assurance.
The entirety of this post is a quote from Dictionary of Ancient Magic Words and spells From Abraxas to Zoar by Claude Lecouteux, the images are sourced from the same publication.

Ms Tiny Catholic,
I left Christianity for a few years and fell into a ‘Wicca-witchcraft-polytheistic-blah blah- ghost contacting’ phase. Recently, I’ve found Catholicism and have been purging my belonging and habits that are related to that “witchy” phase when I find them, but I’m worried I’m not doing enough. I experienced things I can not explain and had interactions that scare me deeply now. Last night I dreamt my house was plagued by demons and woke up unwell and poorly rested. I’m not sure about most Christians, but I believe that some of the witchcraft being practiced now is real and not just aesthetic and I’ve naively let dark forces into my life. Am I just paranoid? Is there anything I can do?
Praise God that you’ve encountered His Church and are starting to orient yourself towards Him!! I had a similar experience in my conversion. In my personal opinion I think the situation could be a bit of both things (real darkness as a result of the occult, but also you psyching yourself out a little bit). I absolutely believe that (some) witchcraft is real and can invite demonic spirits in, and I can’t rule out whether or not that’s happened, but I think there’s a level of healthy paranoia and and a level of unhealthy paranoia. Here would be my suggestions! I’m going to include a list of prayers at the bottom, which are generally my favourites for demonic issues and protection from evil. Sacramentals are also a great gift of the Church and while they’re not magical talismans or anything, I find they can be very comforting, and if you have them blessed by a Priest they can help to be a protective presence. St. Benedict Medals are amazing, as well as Holy Water and/or exorcised salt. If you haven’t already, I’d also really recommend reaching out to a Priest to discuss the conversion and fears you’re having! If you’re not struggling with compulsions or scrupulosity I also find a quick Hail Mary or request for peace from the Holy Spirit can b really calming in a frightening moment.
I ask Jesus to seal me in His most Precious Blood against any and all incursions of the evil one, in particular, against any clinging, familial, familiar, or retaliating spirits, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
I adjure all of you evil spirits, in the Name of the spotless Lamb of God, Jesus of Nazareth, to depart from here. I cast you out, every unclean spirit, every phantom, every encroachment of the devil. Yield then to God! You are vanquished in your citadel,  all you vile demons. The most Sovereign Queen of Heaven, the glorious and ever Virgin Mary; her immaculate purity drives you out; before her countenance you must flee. Give way you evil spirits to the Queen of Heaven. She is destined by Almighty God to crush your head with her heel.
Almighty God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, most Holy Trinity, Immaculate Virgin Mary, Angels, Archangels, and Saints of Heaven, descend upon me. Please purify me Lord, mold me, fill me with Thyself, and use me. Banish all the forces of evil from me, destroy them, vanquish them, so that I do Thy Holy Will. Banish from me all spells, witchcraft, black eye, malefice, ties, maledictions, and the evil eye; diabolic infestations, oppressions, possessions all that is evil and sinful; jealousy, perfidy, envy; physical, psychological, moral, spiritual, diabolical ailments. Cast into hell all demons working these evils, that they may never again tough me or any other creature in the entire world. I command and bid all the powers who molest me, by the power of God Almighty, in the Name of Jesus Christ out Saviour, through the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, to leave me forever, and to be consigned into the everlasting hell.
May the Lord Jesus Christ be with me, that He may defend me; may He be within me, that He may conserve me; may He be before me, that He may lead me; may He be after me, so that He may guard me; may He be above me, that He may bless me, with God the Father and the Holy Spirit Who live and reign forever and ever.
Lord Jesus Christ, in Your love and mercy, pour Thy Precious Blood over me so that no demon or disembodied spirit may retaliate against me. Mary, surround me with thy mangle, blocking any retaliating spirits from having any authority over me. St. Michael, surround me with thy shield, so that no evil spirit may take revenge on me. Queen of Heaven and St. Michael, send down the legions of angels under your command to fight off any spirits that would seek to harm me. All you Saints of Heaven, impede any retaliating spirit from influencing me. Lord, Thou art the Just Judge, the avenger of the wicked, the Advocate of the Just, we beg in Thy mercy, that all we ask of Mary, the angels and the Saints of Heaven be also granted to our loved ones, those who pray for us, and their loved ones, that for Thy Glory’s sake, we may enjoy Thy perfect protection.
St. Joseph, terror of demons, cast your solemn gaze upon the devil and all his minions, and protect us with your mighty staff. You fled through the night to avoid the devil’s wicked designs. Now, with the power of God, smite the demons as they flee from you. Grant special protection, we pray, for children, fathers, families, and the dying. By God’s grace, no demon dares approach while you are near, so we beg of you, always be near to us.
St. Michael the archangel, defend us in battle; be our protections against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl through the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom His love entrusts me here; ever this day/night be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and gude.
God bless you anon, I hope things go well!! Praying for you.
