+++ 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 for 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. π 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! π
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’…

Hi, Regine,
I’d be most grateful for a blessing this week. And I offer mine in return. Many thanks.
*OHC*
Regine says
Hey OHC,
Welcome back! π I’ll gladly include you. Hope your week is treating you well,
Regine
Valerie says
Greetings and thanks from the Nickel, Regine! π
Itβs been an action-packed several days: Shirleen landed in the ER with severe nausea, but was helped and released the same day. Sheβs doing much better. Itβs a running family joke that she may well outlive all of us. Vanessa fell while taking out the trash, and broke her right arm. Sheβs since had surgery on the broken elbow, and is now in a cast and resting at home. All of which is to say, please put us back on your much-appreciated blessings list.
May I continue to send you my blessings as well? π
Thanks for your generosity,
Valerie, Trevor, Shirleen, Vanessa, and Vicki
Regine says
Hi Valerie,
Yikes! I’m glad to hear Shirleen is doing much better, and I hope she (and all of you) got over the scare fine. Well, she’s certainly raising the bar for the rest of you, isn’t she? π Please tell Vanessa I wish her all the best, and a speedy and full recovery! This must have hurt… ;-(
Of course, I’ll gladly include you again – and I hope this week will be more restful and less “exciting” for all of you! And yes, please, I’d very much appreciate your blessings this week. Thanks for asking.
Crazy times, huh?
Regine
Valerie says
ββ¦raising the bar for the rest of you, isnβt she?β π
Vicki says of you βShe is such an angel.β
Vanessa says βYes! π and thank you, Regine. πβ
And oh boy, we all sure agree with you: These ARE crazy times. Blessings help!
Valerie
Regine says
Thanks! Please tell them they’re very welcome – and I’m most definitely not an angel! π

Happy few-days-after-the-Equinox, Regine!
I hope the changes this astrological new-year brings you and your family are entirely for the better in all ways for all involved!
I would love a blessing this week, if you would please! And as always I offer mine in return.
Thank you!

Regine says
Hi V.O.G.,
Thank you very much for your well wishes, they are much appreciated. I wish you and your loved ones the same!
Noted, and yes, please, I’d very much appreciate your blessing this week. Thanks for offering,
Regine
Justin Moore says
Hi Regine,
I thought I might avail myself of your blessings again this week. Thank you for all the work you have been doing. A close family-friend of ours passed away this past January at age 86 and the memorial is this coming weekend. A lot of family are from out of town so my wife and I have been tasked with a lot of the cleaning up of his place and will be providing the food. I suppose I am asking for a blessing on my part of the work we are doing and being of service to the Somogyi family this coming weekend.
Thank you so much,
Justin
P.S.: the writing is going well, and I continue my various esoteric studies and practices. I will also be officiating another marriage this June, this time for a friend of mine I’ve known for about thirty years.
Regine says
Hey Justin,
Welcome back! π I’m sorry to hear about your family-friend, and I hope the memorial and everything around it will go smoothly and well. This stuff is a lot of work! Noted about the blessing, and I’ll gladly include you.
Woohoo for the marriage officiation! It seems that you are starting to establish a new business, whether paid or not. And what a nice one… π
I wish you well for the coming weekend, and for your writing,
Regine
Mike says
Hi Regine,
Sandra and I would appreciate your blessing again this week. I would also like to offer you my blessing again if you would welcome it.
Thanks, and I hope you have a good week.
Mike
Regine says
Hi Mike,
Thanks, I have indeed – I hope your week has been treating you well, too! π
Noted, and yes, please, I’d very much appreciate your blessing this week. Thanks for offering,
Regine
DC says
Grateful for your blessing. Life has been rather stressful recently
Regine says
Hi DC,
I’ll gladly include you, and I hope the stress will ease up soon! π
