Experiences with Benedictine medal as amulet?

[gretamagenta]

I'm wondering if anyone has used anointed Benedictine medals and how that worked for you as a personal ward.

Benedictine medals, associated with prayers of exorcism and protection against evil.
A symbol used by mostly Catholics.
You can use it to connect with the energy/egregore/whatever you want to call it. The effects can be good.
A friend used the prayers of st Benedict for some purpose, I think it was to remove a spiritual attachment. It worked as expected but the prayer needed many recitations for better effects.

I'd say it's good with a strong intention, belief, read st Benedict prayers along and focus on the goal . Sure you can use it as an amulet. Hold it, charge it, focus with the goal what you want from it. Then every now and then repeat. Read st Benedict prayers over it.

Regarding the St. Benedict medal and other religious artifacts, I recommend having them blessed by someone qualified to activate them. Only in this way can you unlock their full potential.

Have you noticed a difference? I was reading about st benedict medals and looking online (yes i know) and saw some people saying that you can bless them yourself if you’re not comfortable with Salvationist padres or church. Everyone seems to agree that they need to be blessed/consecrated to be “activated”, for lack of a better word. I saw one blessing that was kind of Wiccan where they blessed it with the 4 elements.
I read a Catholic website and they were insistent that you make sure your priest exorcised the medal BEFORE blessing it, because they said a lot of priests would just throw a blessing on there without doing the exorcism first.
I’m just curious whether there’s a measurable difference between having the religious authority associated with it do the blessing or say a magician. I’m not a Christian.

After I got my first sets of beads, I showed them to a priest. He placed them on the altar and said something. He said all beads made in the monasteries get blessed anyway. I don't know about the st Benedict medals. Probably the ones from monasteries are thrown on the altar or a service is done over a pile somewhere.

Regarding beads, working with them gives a charge. Beads, rosary. You can feel the charge. They become loaded.

Now the blessing done by a priest, I felt something. It could have been from my own charging as well, I started working right away. They started glowing from the energy. The charge got stronger.

When it comes to other things, candles, beeswax blessed vs not blessed. There's a strong notable difference. It can be felt right away.

I think the authorities are different. There's a saying not every priest has power and some are quite twisted minded as we all know.
Always worth testing yourself too.

Thanks, I didn’t know that all the rosaries made in monasteries are automatically consecrated. I guess it makes sense.

I’m from the USA originally and recently moved to Mexico, almost every big catholic church has st least one supply store next door or across the street. They sell medals, rosaries, statues, pictures, prayer cards (novena cards?) and prayer books. That’s where I got my 2 st benedicts medals because I would rather support local businesses than amazon. I wonder where they get their rosaries and medals????

ive read that you can just go into any Catholic Church and get holy water for free, that you don’t even need to be a Christian. I wonder if a Catholic priest would bless your medals and rosary if you’re not even a Christian????.

you’re spot on about the differences in the religious authorities. I’ve met Catholic and Protestant ministers who you just felt had an air of dedication to their practices, and others who emanated the most repugnant and vile aura imaginable. You see that in Asia with the monks too, though my experience there is limited. I’ve been watching some of these priests on YouTube talking about demon possession (now my YouTube feed is full of Salvationist videos). Interestingly enough they’re saying how it takes numerous attempts and MONTHS of repetition to “cast out devils”, which they blame on corruption at the higher levels of the church. Personally I’d be questioning the efficacy of my beliefs but, you know.

amazon.

Thinking of amazon and places like Temu. Temu sells cheap st Benedict medals too. They are probably manufactured in some random chinese factory in thousands, nobody does anything with them. Monastery websites, or buying from a church is a different case.

In the Orthodox churches there are barrels with holy water in there. You can go get half a liter or more if you want. During some holidays people fill up large gallon sized bottles. Nobody asks any questions. You can just go and take. The barrel might be empty though. The holiday barrels though are huge. I used to go there often during some years but it all got slightly annoying. People were a bit too crazy and it felt unnecessary.

possession

numerous attempts and MONTHS

Me and some friends have experiences with it. I wrote about some experiences here ages ago. Everything came from stupid mistakes, overworking, overloading, mixing practices and going too far. Self exorcism cases, some hours to a day, forcing the other energy out. Some guys needed a bit more. They screwed around with various invocations and it took days of frying to get the whatever out. It was about raising energy, blasting, until the attachment got blasted off. We compared out experiences and they were very similar, down to the smallest details.

Why it takes them months. They cannot force it out with a few small attempts. They are not applying enough force. Imagine a clogged pipe/toilet, are you going to get rid of the problem easily or maybe it might take some serious efforts. A severely clogged pipe or a toilet.
Imagine a guy using the plunger once, nothing happens. Then he does it again a day after, nothing. Yet another will apply force and there it goes.
Yes there are differences. I know one priest who loves his job, it is his lifestyle and passion. He is fully dedicated and committed to it and has been a priest for decades.

Mexico

Mexico is known Catholicism, folk saints and strange cults as well. You probably have tons of places selling supplies, the question is where do they come from. Is it a random guy called Jose making them in his shed or somebody else. A random Jose could have remarkable skills to make the medals though.
