+++ 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’…

Dear Regine
Thank you for calling down blessings upon my family these last few weeks to strengthen us to weather the storms ahead.
Next Wednesday, please can you call down blessings to help us to embrace every opportunity that our holiday offers, to rest, repair and recreate.
Regine says
Hi Nightwatchwaits,
Sure! 🙂 I wish you and your family a wonderful, relaxing and rejuvenating holiday,

Hello Regine!
I hope you’re finding great delight and joy in this summer. It’s been a crazy one weather-wise for me, but the past few days have been nearly perfect and reminded me of all the beauty and wonderful feelings summer also has to offer.
Please put me on your list for a blessing this week, I’d greatly appreciate it! And as always, I offer mine in return.
Warmly,
— V.O.G
Regine says
Hey V.O.G.,
The summer is indeed a fine one, isn’t it? 🙂 With, admittedly, somewhat changeable and in parts rather un-summerlike weather, but enjoyable nonetheless.
I’ll gladly include you, thanks for signing up again! And yes, please, I’d very much appreciate your blessing in return this week. Thanks for offering,
Regine
Valerie says
Greetings and thanks from the Nickel, Regine! 🙏
Please put us back on your blessings list for another round. Shirleen just passed her 88th birthday, and I enjoyed a FaceTime chat with her and my sisters yesterday. Speaking is difficult for her, but she sure does try. My goal is to not overtax her.
We hope all is well with you, and that you are getting enough rest.
May I continue to send you my blessings?
Thanks for all you do,
Valerie
Regine says
My most favourite Nickel, and with a birthday child to boot! 🙂
Please tell Shirleen I wish her all the best for her birthday, and may her next year be pleasant and bring her good things. (But please only if it doesn’t overtax her, I wouldn’t want to stress her out!)
But either way, it seems that you all had a nice and pleasant birthday “party”, even if it had to be online. 🙂
I’m doing reasonably well, thanks, even though the past few days have been a bit of an up and down in various regards.
Noted about the blessings, and yes, please – I would very much appreciate yours this week!
Regine
Valerie says
Thanks Regine! I relayed your kind birthday wishes to Vicki, and she will gladly share them with Shirleen, and also sends her thanks.
(I’m told Shirleen needed a very long nap after the small festivities. 🥳 )
Valerie
Regine says
Content and tired afterwards? Sounds like the best kind of festivities! 😉 Thanks to Vicki for relaying them,
Regine
