+++ This Blessing List is now closed. Please sign up here to receive blessings again next week. See you there! +++
Thanks to everybody who signed up this week – may these blessings bring you good things!
Once a week, on Wednesday, I bless everybody who has requested it for the current week.
The process is simple:
If you would like to be included in the blessings, leave a comment to the current blessing post by Tuesday at the latest.
I will perform the blessing ceremony at some point on Wednesday, and bless everybody who has left a comment by Tuesday.*
All times listed are in German time (i.e. EST+6, apart from the few weeks a year when the US switches to and from daylight savings at a different time than Germany). Please plan accordingly.
I will only bless people who have explicitly requested it in a comment to the current week’s blessing post. I.e. if you would like to be blessed again next week, you will need to comment again.
(To do that, you can come back at any point during the week. I put up the next Blessing List right when I close the preceding one, so you can sign up for the next blessing whenever it’s convenient for you.)
You can also request blessings for other people (or, for that matter, for pets, plants, …) – as long as you have their explicit consent, or you are their rightful “guardian” (e.g. parents for their underage kids; legal caretakers for people with dementia; owners of pets or gardens for their pets or gardens; …).
So… if you would like to receive my blessings this upcoming Wednesday, or if you have any questions, please leave a comment below!
You can use your real name, a nickname of your choice, or comment anonymously.
Please feel free to also share the link to the Blessing List with other people who are interested in being blessed. Everybody is welcome to sign up.
About the blessing itself: During the ceremony, I send a “generic” blessing to everybody on the list, which also includes intentions for health, protection, and divine guidance. I also respectfully ask for blessings from their respective deities during this general part of the cermony for those who have a relationship with a specific deity or deities.
(If you don’t feel comfortable sharing your personal religious beliefs on a public forum, there is no need to list them, as I will do this general part in any case. I trust that your personal deities will know who you are and will, hopefully, respond favourably to this general request. 🙂 If you do mention a specific deity or other divine being in your comment, I will add an extra request to this particular deity and ask them to bestow their blessings upon you, too.)
If there is anything in particular you’d like me to focus on, you can add that to your comment (in just a few words, please!). I will then include this intention specifically for you, but also keep you in the general blessing.**
And if you’d like to know more about the blessings first, you can read the behind-the-scenes-take or my thoughts about one year of blessings – but don’t forget to come back and sign up afterwards! 🙂
For those of you who’d also like to bless others and aren’t sure how to start, I’ve posted a practical guide: Blessing: How to Get Started in 9 Simple Steps.
One final note: I’ll do my best to approve comments in a timely manner, but I am not glued to my screen. It might occasionally take a day or two for your comment to be approved. Thanks for your patience!
* I’m not dogmatic about this deadline. The Tuesday cutoff is simply to make sure I see your request in time, and it will be included for sure. Any comments left after midnight on Tuesday (German time) might or might not be read before the blessing, and might or might not be included.
** I’m not a physician or other health professional. If you have any health issues you’d like me to include, I’m happy to add them – but please remember that a blessing by a random stranger on the internet does not replace a competent medical treatment. Just sayin’…

I would like a blessing for my son who is facing a trial where they decide whether he will receive government assistance for his mental illness. The trial is on the 17th of December.
Regine says
Hi neptunesdolphins,
I’ll gladly include him, and I wish him (and you!) all the best for the upcoming trial,
Regine
Mark says
Hi Regine,
Would love a blessing this week.
Thanks and hope you are well
Regine says
Hey Mark,
I’m fine, thanks, and I hope you’re also fine and well! 🙂
Noted,
Regine
Markéta says
Hi Regine,
would you please, bless me and my Aimy?
Thank you!
I am sending blessings in return, Aimy is sleeping, but otherwise I think she would send blessings too, wagging her tail to fan them to you! Perhaps that’s what she is doing in her dream…
Have a nice day,
Markéta
Regine says
Hi Markéta,
Hope you’re both doing fine and have had a great weekend! Gladly.
I’d say give Aimy a heartfelt hug from me, but since she’s rather likely to take advantage of it and lick back, I will only do this if you promise you won’t pass her lick on to me… (no offense, but that’s one of my personal lines not to be crossed! 😀 ). Either way, please tell her thanks for the blessings, much appreciated!
Have a great week,
Regine
Valerie says
Greetings and thanks from the Nickel, Regine! 🙏
As the world continues its descent into crazy, you provide a true oasis. Please pop us back on your much-appreciated blessing list. I’m convinced blessing helps round off some sharp edges in life. May I continue to offer you my blessing as well?
Thanks as always,
Valerie, Trevor, Shirleen, Vanessa, and Vicki
Regine says
Hi Valerie,
And welcome back! I hope you’ve had a good weekend. 🙂
It seems to round them off, doesn’t it? Noted, and yes, please, I’d very much appreciate your blessings this week.
Warm greetings to all of the Nickel,
Regine
Valerie says
Response from Vicki (and Shirleen): Regine’s blessings “…have a good effect for us, and are warmly received.” So yes, your fine “rounding off” observation is shared by the Nickel generally. 🙏
(Vanessa is a woman of few words generally, but emphatically responded “❤️”)
Regine says
That’s high praise indeed! Thanks for sharing, and please tell them I’m very glad to make a difference, and I wish all of you a very happy and enjoyable holiday season,
Regine
PS: Only if you don’t mind playing messenger, of course – no hard feelings if it falls by the wayside! 😉
Valerie says
Thanks Regine! 🙏
I’m delighted to serve as a messenger. The remaining four pennys will be most pleased. And will in turn wish you the holiday season you most desire. As do I! 🎄😊🎄
