+++ 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: The second part of the series “Blessing: How to Get Started in 9 Simple Steps” is now online for your reading (and blessing!) pleasure. π +++
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. For those who have a relationship with a specific deity or deities, I respectfully ask for blessings from their respective deities during this general part of the cermony, 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 to this general request. π )
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! π
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 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’…

Greetings from the ever-reliable Nickel, Regine!
Shirleen enjoyed her 87th birthday today. It was a simple affair, and I was included on a conference call. She seems be in good spirits, as are my sisters. No doubt your blessings contributed!
Please sign us up for this coming week. And may you be blessed, as well!
Valerie, Trevor, Shirleen, Vicki, and Vanessa
Regine says
Hi Valerie,
Good to hear youβre all doing well – and if you have space on your next card, please wish Shirleen a very Happy (belated) Birthday from me, and I wish her a wonderful next year of her life! π
Thanks for signing up again,
Regine
Valerie says
Thanks Regine! The day we donβt sign up for blessings is the day I mess up and somehow forget to do so. π
I will put a card in the mail to Shirleen this week with your kind message. That will truly delight her. π

Rebecca says
I would be grateful for a blessing. I was just laid off from my job a few days ago, so I need to find new employment and to cope with all the fear/anxiety. My primary deities are Brigid and An Dagda, though I am also a Friend of Thor. Thank you!
Regine says
Hi Rebecca,
Ouch! Iβve put you on the list for Wednesday, and I also wish you all the best – may the situation turn out to be a true blessing for you. π

Hello, Regine,
I would welcome another blessing this week. Things seem to be moving about as well as I could expect, given the circumstances. I appreciate your faithfulness in this work

My family is going through a lot, and I’m really struggling. Would appreciate any blessing you can spare. Thank you!

Hi A,
