+++ 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 everyone 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’…

Please bless us again this week, Regine: Josiah, Joanna, Eleanor, and me. Thank you! (We felt very blessed this last week, by the way!)
Regine says

I’m glad to hear that! 🙂 Noted, and you’re very welcome. I wish all of you a wonderful week,
Regine

Hello again Regine!
A terrific thunderstorm rolled through this weekend, which really cleared up the previously-muggy air. Sometimes Jove or Thor playing his big instruments is just the ticket for some refreshing changes of pace. I hope your week is starting off well, too!
I would very much appreciate a blessing this week, and as always I offer mine in return.
Thank you!

Hi there,
Thunderstorms are awesome – provided one is in a safe (and dry 😉 ) place to enjoy them! 😀
Glad to hear your atmosphere has cleared up. We’ve gone into a somewhat cooler period, after a good week of warm summer weather. Today has been very nice and enjoyable. Oh, and we’ve had the first small chard harvest. Well, some small leaves as part of a side salad, but still…
Noted, and yes, please, I’d very much appreciate yours this week, too! Thanks for offering, 🙂

Justin Moore says
Hi Regine,
Thank you again for your work. I officiate my second wedding ceremony this Saturday, June 6th, for a friend I’ve known since we were teenagers. His name is Julian and his soon-to-be wife is Molly. My nerves aren’t nearly as bad as they were when I did my daughters ceremony -the emotions aren’t the same. Still, if you are willing, I request a blessing on my preparations for and performance of the ceremony for them.
Thank you so much for all your behind the scenes support to the extended community.
Regine says
Hey Justin,
Congratulations, both to you and to the bride and groom! What a wonderful event. 🙂
I will very gladly include you, and I wish you and everybody else all the best for the upcoming wedding (and the preparations), and a wonderful day!
Regine
Valerie says
Greetings and thanks from the Nickel, Regine! 🙏
Vanessa’s broken arm saga fares better this past week: new arm brace, massage appointment, and appreciation that others care. 😊
Please put us on your blessing list for this week. May I continue to send you my blessings as well?
Thanks for your generosity,
Valerie, Trevor, Shirleen, Vanessa, Vicki, (Sunny)
Regine says
Hi Valerie,
That’s good news! Glad to hear there has been some notable progress. This whole thing must be very frustrating for her! Hope everybody else is doing fine, too. 🙂
Gladly, as always, and yes, please, I’d very much appreciate your blessings this week. Thanks for asking,
Regine
Markéta says
Dear Regine,
would you, please, bless me and my Aimy? I believe your blessings make a great difference in our lives. Thank you.
I will bless you and yours, too-if welcome.
Have a nice day,
Markéta
Regine says
Hey Markéta,
Glad to hear that, and you’re very welcome! 🙂 I put both of you on the list for tomorrow, and yes, please, I’d very much appreciate yours this week. Thanks for offering, and I wish you and Aimy a great week,
Regine

Eija Kärkkäinen says
Dear Regine,
I’d like to thank you for the blessings I got when I had problems with my kidney. The stone is gone and nefrostomi was removed on thursday.
Eija
Regine says
Hi Eija,
You’re very welcome. Glad to hear things have resolved, and I hope you’ll be fully restored very soon! 🙂
If you should ever want another blessing, either for a specific issue or in general, you know how to find this place… 😉
Regine
