+++ 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’…

Hi, Regine,
I’d very much appreciate another blessing this week, and I offer mine in return. I hope all is well with you.
*OHC*
Regine says
Hi OHC,
Noted, and will gladly do. Yes, please, I’d very much appreciate yours this week, too. Thanks for offering! 🙂
Yes, I’m fine and well – just incredibly busy right now. Plus, the weather has been much too hot and humid for my taste for the past ten days or so. But this, too, shall pass… 😉

Hi Regine,
would you bless me and my Aimy, please?
I wonder, when the heats would cease,
and a gentle rains with rainbows come?
Before the summer’s over, month is done.
I hope.
And-nope-
I don’t think hot days will pass forever.
But just as your blessing forms a lever
to banish the malefic, settle the good,
so the cooler days will balance the hot mood.
Have nice days and nights and be blessed, as I and Aimy usually
are thanks to you! If welcome –
that is polite to add…
Yours in awe-not in dread,
in happiness-not in sorrow,
I’ll see you soon, but not tomorrow.
In friendship and with mugs
full of Earl Grey tee
Markéta hugs
-and Aimyee!:o)
Regine says
Hi Markéta,
How wonderful, thank you very much! 🌞
No rainbows, alas, or at least none that I noticed, but the heat did indeed ease before the month is over… 😀 Thankfully, I might add! As an aside, most people don’t believe this, but a cuppa Earl Grey is indeed a wonderful tonic on such overly hot days. They don’t know what they miss… 😉
Thanks a lot, and noted – and all the best to you and Aimy. I hope you’re both enjoying a wonderful (and somewhat cooler) week,
Regine
Valerie says
Greetings and thanks from the Nickel, Regine! 🙏
Please put us back on your list for blessings this week. We are all well. I hope your busy times are the type of busy that you enjoy, and that the weather improves very soon. May I continue to offer you my blessings?
Thanks for all you do,
Valerie, Trevor, Shirleen, Vanessa, and Vicki
Regine says
Hi Valerie,
Thanks. Glad to hear you’re all well! Our heat spell has broken as of this morning – thankfully. It’s still summerly weather, but at least the nights will now be cool enouch to sleep well again. Alas, my busy is of the have-to-get-it-done kind, not the type I find enjoyable. But since it can’t be helped… 😀
Noted, and yes, please, I’d very much appreciate your blessings this week. Thanks for offering,
Regine
Jennifer Kobernik says

Hello Regine,
Summer joy to you! I hope you’re able to rest amidst the busy, from time to time, and to soak in the beauty of summer as well as its abundance.
I would definitely appreciate a blessing this week, and as always I offer mine in return.
Thank you!

Hi V.O.G.
Thanks a lot. I’m doing my best (resting- and enjoying-wise). 😉 I hope you get to enjoy a fine summer yourself! 🙂
Noted, and yes, please, I’d very much appreciate your blessings this week. Thanks for offering,
