The Sodalis Fancy Etched Cable Bracelet features a Sodalis Mariae medal modeled from a vintage Art Deco French medal dating back to the 1930's. This Sodalist medal was originally a devotional medal  associated with the Sodality of Our Lady, also known as the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin Mary.  Inscribed with "Sodalis Mariae" (Latin for "Companion of Mary") it's a visual dedication to the devotion of the Virgin Mary for all who are called to Her today, both Catholics and non-Catholic - all of us are Her children.  

The chain is light, but chunky with 14mm links. The medal is approximately 1.25 long and removeable from the clasp so it can be worn on your other Whispering Goddess bracelets and so the bracelet can be worn as a solo chain.  It's made at 7.5" and 8", but we can customize the length as well.  

The origins of the Sodality of Our Lady trace back to the  Sodality of the Blessed Virgin Mary and it's roots in 1563, when a Jesuit priest, Jean Leunis, founded the first sodality in Rome for students at the Roman College. These groups aimed to foster spiritual growth, charity, and devotion to Mary among laypeople and clergy. Over time, sodalities spread globally, particularly through Jesuit institutions, becoming prominent in Catholic communities by the 17th and 18th centuries.   

Devotional medals served as tangible symbols of membership, commitment, and protection for sodality members. They were often worn as scapulars or pendants, reflecting the wearer’s dedication to Marian spirituality. The medals typically featured imagery of the Virgin Mary (e.g., Our Lady of Grace or the Miraculous Medal) on one side and the Sacred Heart of Jesus or other religious symbols on the reverse. Sodality medals were more than jewelry; they were badges of identity for Catholics, signaling membership in a spiritual community. They were especially significant during times of persecution or secularization, when public expressions of faith were challenged. 


The chain is light, but chunky with 14mm links. The medal is approximately 1.25 long and removeable from the clasp so it can be worn on your other Whispering Goddess designs and so it can be worn as a solo bracelet.
