Lapis lazuli - Exorcism Necklace – Saint Benedict Medal – Protection Against Evil – 14K Gold-Filled Clasp - Necklace with pendant

Exorcism Necklace – Saint Benedict Medal – Protection Against Evil.

This lapis-lazuli necklace carries the Saint Benedict Exorcism Medal with sacred Latin formulas, a powerful spiritual shield to break curses and drive back the forces of darkness.

In the stories of the Christian tradition, the spiritual battle is not fought with iron weapons, but in the secrecy of the soul, faced with the perils of the invisible. When doubts seep in, hostile intentions conspire, and trouble threatens the peace of an existence, faith rises with authority: prayer becomes a command to bid the darkness to retreat.
This is precisely where the Saint Benedict Cross comes into play. Carved as an unanswerable mandate, it bears at the core of its design the decree that has driven back the adversary for centuries: Vade Retro Satana — Get behind me, Satan. It is the prayer of authority brought to its apex: a sacred summons before which the grip of curses shatters, shadowy assaults lose all force, and adversity is ordered to disappear.

To keep this exorcism medal close is to seize this word of deliverance: the assurance to weather trials with head held high, to disarm the surrounding chaos, and to move through daily life under true protection against evil.

History & Secrets of the Symbol:

The Exorcism Medal and the Church’s Recognition
Officialized by Pope Benedict XIV in 1742, this medal is the Church’s great sacramental of deliverance. Used for generations in blessing and spiritual warfare rituals, it traditionally serves to repel demonic forces, break curses, and protect the faithful against occult harm.

The Motto PAX: The Command of Divine Peace
Placed at the top of the pendant, the motto PAX proclaims the triumph of heavenly harmony over disorder. In Benedictine tradition, this sacred word acts as a defensive lock: it dissipates spirits of discord, eases anxieties, and establishes a protective calm around the wearer.

Decoding of the Sacred Latin Formulas
Each letter engraved on the medal corresponds to the initials of a commanding Latin prayer:
C S P B: Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti – Cross of the Holy Father Benedict.
C S S M L (vertical): Crux Sacra Sit Mihi Lux – May the Holy Cross be my light.
N D S M D (horizontal): Non Draco Sit Mihi Dux – Let not the demon be my guide.
V R S N S M V - S M Q L I V B: Vade Retro Satana, Non Suade Mihi Vana, Sunt Mala Quae Libas, Ipse Venena Bibas – Get behind me, Satan, do not tempt me with lies; what you offer is evil, drink your own poisons.

The Lapis-Lazuli: The Celestial Blue and the Stiffness of Spirit
With a royal deep blue tone recalling the celestial vault, lapis-lazuli is traditionally associated with the quest for truth and the strength of the soul. Its noble, restrained presence elevates the protective gravity of the Saint Benedict medal.
