+++ 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’…

Hi Regine, I am glad you got to go to Glastonbury and congratulations on your consecration. Well done! I’d be happy to sign up for next weeks blessing and reciprocate.
Thank you!
Regine says
Hey Justin,
Thank you very much! I was very glad I got to go to Glastonbury, too. 🙂
Thanks for signing up, and I‘d very much appreciate your blessings this week. Thanks for offering,
Regine
Marko says
Hi Regine,
Let me hop on the next bandwagon.
We would love some blessings for me, Viktoria and the “little one” who should be joining us about this week. 🙂
Best regards,
Marko
Regine says
Hi again,
Aren’t you a bit premature? We don‘t even know yet whether it‘ll still be „the little one“ by next Wednesday… 😀
Anyway, noted – and I wish the three of you a very good week! 🙂
Regine
Marko says
Well, then let me conirm last minute, that it i still “the little one” as of this minute.
But the mother is anxious to have him have a name by now. 🙂
Best regards,
Marko
Regine says
Well, I certainly undestand where she’s coming from, especially in the current weather! 😉
Please tell her I wish her and the little one all the best. May things go well for both of them.

CR Patiño says
Hello Regine, wonderful work you are doing here.
I am ashamed of not having followed in your footsteps so far, but I am alive and in general healthy, so I hope there’s still time.
Please address this blessing to “the Trine and One God, through Whom one lives”.
Best regards
Regine says
Hi CR,
There is no reason to feel ashamed at all. Or, to put it more bluntly: You feeling ashamed about this won‘t do anybody else any good, but it also won‘t do you any good. Instead, why don‘t you go out today and make the world of one random stranger a teeny-tiny little bit better, in any way? E.g. by a kind word, a helpful hand, a nice gesture,… Any random act of kindness or mercy will do, delivered in any way, and no matter how small. 🙂
Do this, and you‘re on the same path. (After all, what I do here are small, random acts of kindness to strangers, delivered in an admittedly unconventional way.) It really is this simple, and it‘s also much more productive and better for you than feeling ashamed. 😉
Anyway, noted, and will do!
Regine
CR Patiño says
You are right, of course. I have already followed your advise for the day, and plan to continue to do so. Many thanks for this.
Regine says
Awesome – and thank you for making the world a better place! 🙂
Markéta says
Hi Regine,
please, bless me and my Aimy.
And blessings to you, too-if welcome!
And hugs and nice days (if welcome😁),

Regine says
Hi Markéta,
Hope you‘re both fine and well! Yes, both is very welcome, thanks for asking! 🙂

My husband David will be recovering from his toe amputation by then. I wish him a speedy recovery.
Regine says
Hi again,
I wish him the same, and will gladly include him. Please tell David I wish him all the best, and a speedy recovery!

Jennifer Kobernik says
Hello Regine! Please bless us again this week, if you will: Josiah, Joanna, Eleanor, and me! Thank you so much.
Regine says
Hey Jennifer,
Will do. I hope you‘re all fine and well,
Regine
Rachel says
hi Regine! I’m currently battling Lyme’s disease and the antibiotics are really doing a number on me. Any and all blessings would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏻
Regine says
Hi Rachel,
Ouch. I’m sorry to hear that, and hope you’ll recover soon! I’ll be happy to include you in next week’s blessing,
Regine
Nightwatchwaits says
Dear Regine
I have found your webpages after reading your write-up of the Glastonbury get together. Thank you.
Please can you call for blessings to build up my household as we seek to weather threats from a neighbour.
I have communion with Jesus my Christ and the Archangel Michael.
With love
Nightwatchwaits
Regine says
Hi Nightwatchwaits,
Welcome! Glad you found your way here to the site and to the blessings. 🙂
I’ll gladly include you, and I wish you all the best and a good outcome for all involved,
Regine
Valerie says
Greetings and thanks from the Nickel, Regine! As predictable as clockwork, we’ve rolled right back here for more blessings, please.
We’re all doing well. Except for Vicki: Bad spider bite, and on antibiotics for the resulting infection. We hope you are doing well, and that ill-tempered spiders stay far away from you!
May I continue to send you my blessings this week? 🙂
Thanks for all you do,
Valerie, Trevor, Shirleen, Vanessa, and Vicki
Regine says
My most favourite Nickel! 🙂
It’s very good to have you back. Ouch – a spider bite sounds painful. Although… you folks aren’t in Australia! 😀 I wasn’t even aware there are biting spiders in the US! I hope it was nothing poisonous?
Our spiders are generally pleasant to be around. We’ve got a particularly nice and fascinating type of jumping spiders which live on and around our patio table and chairs. They are small cuties, and very pleasant neighbours (or rather: tablemates), thus we don’t mind at all.
Yes, please, I’d appreciate your blessings very much this week. Thanks for asking! 🙂
I hope you are fine, and are all enjoying a nice summer,
Regine
Valerie says
I think Australia has us beat on toxic wildlife! Here in North America the brown recluse and the black widow spiders have venomous bites. Depending on the overall health of the unlucky person who gets bit, it can range from itching and swelling at the bite site, all the way up to serious neurological and/or skin damage. German jumping spiders sound much nicer! And cuter. The tablemates image makes me smile! 🙂
Wishing you a beautiful summer,
Valerie
Regine says
Hm, I didn‘t know you had spiders with venomous bites at all. Although, in all fairness, some German spiders might have venomous bites, too, but since most of them are fairly small, and spiders (at least over here) rarely bite at all, I might simply not be aware of it.
I can‘t vouch for all German jumping spiders, but this particular kind is awesome and very smart (and rather small, which helps, of course). They can be a bit pushy and pretty determined when they have set their mind on getting on a certain patio chair even though somebody‘s sitting on it, but hey – they don‘t mind sharing, and we don‘t either, and worst case we put them aside, so… 😀
V.O.G says
Hello Regine!
I would like to be on the blessing list again this week. And as always I offer mine in return. 🙂
Thank you!

Regine says
Hey V.O.G.,
Welcome back! 🙂 Noted, and I‘d very much appreciate your blessings this week. Thanks for offering, and I hope you‘re having a great week,

Ochre Harebrained Curmudgeon says
Hello again, Regine,
(Once again. I’m just under the wire for the deadline.🙂)
I’d be grateful for another blessing this week.
And I’ve received permission from two other people to request a blessing, as well. The first is for my daughter, who is currently on her first trip to Asia. The second is for my friend, KA, who will be under considerable stress over the next few months. May they both stay safe and be blessed.
I offer my blessing to you, as well. Thanks as always.
*OHC*
Regine says
Hi OHC,
Welcome back, and thanks for signing up again (and bringing reinforcement, too 😀 )!
Noted, and yes, please, I’d very much appreciate your blessings this week. Thanks for offering,
Regine
