+++ 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’…

Thank you. Hope you are well.

Hi Random,
I am indeed well, thanks, and I‘ll gladly include you and the rest of the tribe. (Do cats form tribes??)

Greetings and thanks from the Nickel, Regine! 🙏
Like clockwork, we’ve rolled back to you in hopes of more blessings. 😃
We continue to do well, and hope that you are also doing well. May I continue to send you my blessings?
Thanks as always,
Valerie, Trevor, Shirleen, Vanessa, and Vicki
Regine says
Hey Valerie,
It’s good to have you back! 🙂 It must be Monday, huh? 😉
I’m doing fine, thanks – glad to hear you’re all fine, too! You’re on the list, and yes, please, I’d very much appreciate your blessings this week. Thanks for offering,
Regine
Valerie says
“It must be Monday…”. 😂

Hello Regine!
I hope this week finds you and yours well and happy.
Might I ask for a blessing this week as well? As always, I offer mine in return.
Thank you very much!

Regine says
Hey V.O.G.,
Welcome back! 🙂 We’re indeed fine, or as fine as one can be in these weird times… I hope you’re doing well this week, too?
Sure thing, and yes, please, I’d very much appreciate yours this week. Thanks for offering,
Regine
Matt says
Hi Regine!
Thanks for the blessings! Could you offer blessings for me and my family this week?
Hope November is good for you! Love
Be well,
Matt
Regine says
Hi Matt,
You’re very welcome, and gladly! I hope you and your family are all fine. 🙂
November has indeed been a good month for me, apart from smaller nuisances like a pile of paperwork I’d much rather not have dealt with, and a pile of blackberry bramble I’d also much rather not have dealt with… 😉
All the best to you and your family,
Regine

Hi Regine… It’s been a little while. Things are going along over here. The usual ups and downs of life. I have had some back issues over the years, but haven’t had a major flair up since 2022. I worked out too hard last week, and then while setting up for a record fair where I was selling some things, threw it out of whack this past weekend. I’m doing what I can to support my recovery now, but I thought an additional blessing on the recovery would be welcome.
Thank you for your continued work in these traditions.
Regine says
Hi Justin,
Welcome back! 🙂 Glad to hear you’re doing ok, overall – but ouch about your back. I hope you’re going to recover soon! And yep, I’ll gladly include you. I hope the fair went well for you?
