+++ 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!
+++ Update: Since some of you wanted to know more, I’ve posted an essay with background info about the blessings. +++
Once a week, on Wednesday, I send blessings to everybody who has requested them this 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 blessings at some point on Wednesday, and send them to 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 send blessings to the people who have explicitly requested them in a comment to the current week’s blessing post. I.e. if you would like to receive blessings again next week, you will need to comment again.
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.
About the blessing itself: I send a “generic” blessing to everybody on the list, also including intentions for health, protection, and divine guidance. For those who have a relationship with a specific deity or deities, I respectfully ask for blessings from their respective deities, too. (If you don’t feel comfortable sharing your personal religious beliefs on a public forum, there is no need to list them. I trust that your personal deities will know who you are and will, hopefully, respond favourably. 🙂 )
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 here – but don’t forget to come back and sign up afterwards! 🙂
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 blessings in time, and they 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 for the blessing last time. I would like to request another blessing, for my health and my land and my animals and finances, if appropriate. I am also really struggling with the turmoil and torment my family is going through, how to be there for them without completely draining myself when I really don’t have much to spare right now, of energy or anything else.
Regine says
Hi A,
Welcome back! 🙂
I‘ll happily do that, and the intentions are perfectly appropriate.
If you should read this before Wednesday: Would you also like me to ask for a blessing from Mother Mary on your behalf again? (For what it’s worth, there was a definite flow of energy when I did so last time, which makes me think she approved of the request.)
I hope things will work out for you soon,
Regine
A says
I appreciate your reply. That’s good to hear. I’m honestly struggling so much right now that even this simple question feels beyond me. I want all the help I can get spiritually, but I also feel very alone and forgotten. Who do you ask for help when you have sort of given up hope.
Regine says
Hi again,
I‘m afraid I can‘t help you much with that. My personal take is since you feel Mother Mary understands, and since she seemed to be responsive last time, if it was me, I‘d ask for her blessings again. I don‘t expect a blessing by Mother Mary to make your situation any worse than it is…
But that‘s entirely up to you, and unless you tell me explicitly to include her, I won‘t. 🙂
As for whom else to lean on: since you seem to be worshipping in a Christian context, have you considered any of the saints or angels? If you‘re not sure who might be the best divine being to approach, you could ask on today‘s Magic Monday over on JMG‘s dreamwidth site for recommendations.

A says
I know at a deeper level things are going to be okay. It’s just that I also live at the very human level of hard human limits, too. I worship in a mixed context that includes Mother Mary, the goddess Sekhmet, as well as some others. If you are willing to ask both Mother Mary and Sekhmet for a blessing for me, I would appreciate that because of how desperate I’ve been feeling. Sorry for taking up so much of your time. Thank you for what you do.
Regine says
No worries, and you’re very welcome. I’ll ask both of them for their blessings for you then.
All the best to you, and a speedy resolution of the situation in everybody’s best interest,
Regine
Jeff Russell says
Howdy,
Once again, I welcome any blessings you’re willing and able to send.
Thank you!
Jeff
Regine says
Heya,
And once again, I’ll happily send you what I can. 🙂
Thanks for giving me the chance,
Regine
jeffinWA says
Please send blessing-general-and also for health and “hearing” Divine guidance.
Is it ok to include you in my daily prayers?
Thanks
Regine says
Hi Jeff,
Welcome back, and will do!
Yes, a general prayer for well-being and health would be fine. Thanks for asking! 🙂

Valerie says
Hi Regine,
Thanks for last week’s blessing! My mother appreciates your kind offer of a specific blessing for her, but is quite content to receive a general one. So, as your generous offer continues to stand, the three of us are back for more!
Thanks so much,
Valerie, Trevor, and Shirleen
Regine says
Hi Valerie,
General blessings it is, then.
I hope the three of you are doing fine this week! 🙂

Kay says
I would please like to request a blessing to help my mother, who has been feeling acute pain in her uterus for almost one year but who has not been diagnosed with anything specific.
Regine says
Hi Kay,
Ouch – that’s hard. I‘ve put her on the list.
Please tell your mom I wish her all the best, and a speedy recovery from her pain, and from whatever causes it,
Regine
Natalia says
Hi Regine!
I’m sorry I’m late this week. If there’s still time, I’d really appreciate being included in your blessing for tomorrow.
Thank you!
Natalia
Regine says
Hi Natalia,
No problem at all. I caught it in time and will happily include you.

Ochre Harebrained Curmudgeon says
Me, too, me too, Regine! Kindly add me if you can this week, and thank you as always. Sorry I’m late. My birthday is this week, and I’d appreciate a blessing involving my new run around the sun.
*OHC*
Regine says
Hi OHC,
Well, turns out you’re just in time – I just logged in to prepare next week’s post and check for comments one last time before doing the blessing… 😉
A very happy birthday to you! 🙂
Regine
Jay Elle says
Please bless J., an extraordinarily talented 21 year old woman who suffers from low self-worth and depressive thoughts who has no idea what to do with her life.
Regine says
Hi Jay Elle,
Will do. I wish you a good week,
Regine
A says
Thank you so much. I truly felt some breakthroughs on Wednesday. Not necessarily in circumstances, but in my understanding and mental approach to things.
Regine says
I‘m very glad to hear the blessing had such an immediate effect!
You’re very welcome, and thanks for reporting back,
Regine
