Weekly Blessings 48 – Wednesday, December 4th, 2024

18 Comments

+++ 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 here – 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’…

  1. Hi Milkyway! I’m CS2, a frequent MM commenter and reader. I’d greatly appreciate a blessing for my spiritual growth. I pray to the Welsh gods.

    With your permission I can put you on my blessing candle next week. Thank you!

    • Hi CS2,

      Gladly, and thanks for signing up! Thanks also for your blessing candle offer, and yes, I would very much appreciate this right now.

  2. Hi Milkyway – I usually post as Orange Exiguous Piglet or Anonymous on JMG’s blog. may I ask for a blessing….I’m not sure how to ask. the short version: I have destroyed a friendship through an outburst of temper. not merely burning the bridge
    but rather detonation of a mid-yield nuclear device. I know you can’t bless someone else without their permission (the ex-friend), though certainly I hope he is _not_ feeling as bad as I am. the pain I’m feeling at my own stupidity and short-sightedness is indescribable. may I ask for your blessing, in the form perhaps of guidance if it is possible to repair the damage or at very least that I do not repeat the behavior in future relationships. the ex-friend is Jewish and I am Christian, if that helps any in figuring out how to frame the blessing. (religion had nothing to do with the argument. male/female relationships and me still paranoid/hauling baggage from recently escaping a bad 16 year relationship and he happened to push a button. I responded in a horribly childish/selfish/immature manner)

    • Hi OEP,

      Ouch – I‘m sorry to hear that. Us humans can be rather stupid sometimes, can’t we? 🙂 You‘re right, I won‘t bless the ex-friend without his explicit consent. But a blessing for you is fine, of course, and your intention sounds very good to me, and I will include a respectful request to the christian God to bless you as well, as I take it that is fine with you.

      Please feel free to sign up for future weeks as well if you feel it helps. I usually put up the next post right before I take the current one down on Wednesdays, i.e. you can come back at any time during the week to sign up for the then-upcoming Wednesday. The effects of blessings can be subtle and may unfold over time.

      All the best to you, and I hope this will all work out to the best for both of you! 🙂

    • Hey Valerie,

  4. Hi Regine.
    Thank you for all of your previous blessings. It is a blessing to have your blessings. I really see them manifest in my life in different ways.

    This week I have the final push for the year for my book publicity, with a launch party and another version of my talk. It will be a kind of multi-media performance lecture. So, if you don’t mind I just ask for a blessing on the event, my nerves and emotions the day of the event, Saturday, Dec. 7.

    I really appreciate it… and I’ll have reason to hone my public speaking abilities further next year, as I have been asked to do something that I am very humbled and honored by next fall. Quiet on that front for now. It will also require me to continue in my own blessing work.

    Thank you for your blessing work.

    • Hi Justin,

      I’m very glad to hear the blessings are doing you good. Kudos to you for the final push of the year, and especially for pushing your comfort zone! 🙂 Now you’ve got me curious about next fall… 😉

      I’ll gladly include you again, of course, and you’re very welcome,

      Regine
