Weekly Blessing 76 – Wednesday, June 18th, 2025

24 Comments

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’…

Want to support my work?

Most of the stuff I offer on The Hidden Things is freely available, and I don't expect anything in return. But if you enjoy my essays and should want to treat me to a cuppa Earl Grey in return, I won't turn it down either. (What person in their normal mind would turn down a cuppa Earl Grey?? ;-) )

The best way to do so is through my online tip jar at Ko-Fi.

    • Heya,

      Gladly! 🙂 I have to admit I’m beginning to wonder, though… whenever I put up the new post on Wednesday, you react almost immediately. Do you ever sleep at all? Or just not on Wednesdays?? 😛

      Hope Binx is doing fine!

  2. My husband David maybe getting another toe amputated on his right foot. Bless his feet since the left one is not healing either. Thank you.

  3. Hi Regine
    It was wonderful to meet you and your other half in Glastonbury last weekend. The whole thing seems like a dream to me now if I’m honest – certainly the highlight of the year so far.

    ANYWAYS… I’d love a blessing, thanks!

    Jack (ps congratulations again on the consecration)

    • Hey Jack,

      It was indeed wonderful to meet. We had a great time – and it does feel like ages ago somehow, even though it‘s only less than a week.

      Noted about the blessing, and thanks for signing up! 🙂

      Hope you had a good drive home,

      Regine

      • I didn’t get back until 2am in the end 😱. I recovered by Wednesday. I hope your return was more pleasant.

        Thanks for the blessing!

        • Ouch! That must have been very heavy traffic. Well, I’m glad you got back safely at least, even if it wasn’t pleasant. Yes, we had a rather good trip, with not much delay or trouble. Still got back late at night, but at least it was a smooth ride.

  4. Hello, Regine,
    I would be most grateful for another blessing this week, and offer mine in return. (I’m just getting started at offering blessings myself, and I’ve received permission from two people to do so.)
    Really looking forward to reading your account of Glastonbury — sounds like a wonderful time.

    *OHC*

    • Hi OHC,

      Very glad to hear you’re getting started with blessings – that’s awesome! 🙂

      I have noted your request, and I’d very much appreciate being blessed by you this week. Thanks for offering!

      Glastonbury was indeed a wonderful time. The report is almost done, just some more formatting etc. I hope to get it out of the door today, or tomorrow at the latest. I’ll publish it here, but also announce it somewhere over on JMG’s sites, so you should be able to find it easily, I hope. 🙂

      Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend,

      Regine

    • My most favourite Nickel! 🙂

      Thanks, both for your congratulations and for the offer – and yes, I‘d very much appreciate your blessings this week.

      Noted, and I hope you‘re all doing fine, and are having an exceptionally nice Sunday,

  7. Hi Regine,
    It was so nice meeting both of you at Glastonbury and congratulations again on your consecration.
    Glastonbury gathering was an experience that changed everything in subtle but significant ways. I do not think that I understate it if I say that some of us made a pilgrimage there.

    Anyway Viktoria and myself and (still) “the little one” would request a blessing this week.

    Best regards,
    Marko

    • Hi Marko,

      It was very nice meeting in person indeed. 🙂

      Good to hear you had such a profound experience around the convention. Or rather, I hope it‘s good, but since you sound very (positively) excited, I assume that‘s the case… 😉

      Gladly, and I hope the two of them are holding up well in this weather,

      Regine

      • Hi Regine,
        Yes it is positive news in this trying times. I’m saving it for the Magic Monday since it is appropriate there.

        Oh and give Steffen a hug. Firstly he’ll appreciate it more from you then from me. 🙂 And tell him he is apparently inspirational. 😉

        Best regards,
        Marko
