+++ 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’…

Howdy,
Once again, many thanks for doing these blessings, and I’d like to ask for blessings for myself and my girls that we find happiness and meaning in this new phase of our lives, in the name of Frigg, Hearthmother.
My blessings to you as well!
Jeff
Regine says
Hey Jeff,
You‘re very welcome, and gladly! I hope you‘re all doing fine, and are enjoying the weekend,
Regine
Valerie says
Greetings and thanks from the Nickel, Regine! 🙏
We are all doing fine. Shirleen continues on a gentle downslope. She sleeps quite a bit, I hear. We hope you continue to do well, too. 😊
Please add us back on your much-appreciated blessings list. May I continue to send you my blessings?
Thanks for your generosity,
Valerie, Trevor, Shirleen, Vanessa, and Vicki
Regine says
Hey there,
I‘ve been wondering… does the fact that you post here make you a Nickel spokesperson? 😛
Noted, and thanks for signing up again. Glad to hear you‘re all doing well, all things considered, and yes, I‘m fine, too – thanks for asking. I would indeed appreciate your blessings this week, so thanks for offering!
All the best to you and the rest of the Nickel, especially Shirleen,
Regine
Valerie says
Arrgh! You found me out! I am indeed the Nickel spokesperson. 😂
I will gladly convey your kind words to the other four pennies. (Did you know that our government no longer produces pennies? It’s beginning to cause problems for businesses, large and small.)
Interesting times!
Valerie
Regine says
Thanks for being both the spokesperson and the messenger! 😉
Not producing pennies anymore? That‘s… curious. Nope, I didn’t know this. Well, we‘re indeed in interesting times, aren‘t we?

Hello Regine,
I hope you’re doing well! I would really appreciate a blessing this week too, and as always, I offer mine in return.
Thanks again so much for doing these blessings, they’re really appreciated on my end.

Regine says
Hi V.O.G.,
Thanks for your kind words – and you are very welcome! 🙂
I‘ll gladly include you, as always, and yes, please, I‘d very much appreciate your blessings this week. Thanks for offering,

Markéta says
Hi Regine,
many thanks for your blessings! I think Aimy would hug you, lick your face and probably bite your ears (very gently, like a massage) if she could reach you.
Please, bless me and my Aimy this week and if I may, I would like to send blessings to you, too.
Hugs, arms and paws; kisses, cheeks and your whole face; and massage, back and ears… Have a nice day!
Markéta (and Aimy🐕🦺)
Regine says
😂
I‘ll take the massage, but without the licking, please (no offence to you or Aimy!! 😛 )
Noted, and I‘ll gladly include both of you. And yes, please, I‘d very much appreciate your blessings this week – thanks for offering!
Hope you‘re both having a great week,
Regine
Mouse says

Regine says
Hi Mouse,

Regine
