+++ 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: On reader request, I published my thoughts on “a year of giving blessings”. Don’t forget to come back for signing up after you’ve read them!
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. π 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! 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 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’…

Jeff says
Hi Regine,
Actually this year has started kind of rough. Seem to be taking a few steps backwards. I prefer to think of this as going through the ending of a dark period before entering better times as the year turns towards spring and the increase of the light. Kind of you to ask π
I would very much appreciate a blessing boost from you this week; a general blessing for overall strength and health if you would.
My blessings to if you would have them and light and laughter to you and yours.
Thanks so muvh,
Jeff
Jeff says
Sorry, meant much, not muvh!
Regine says
Hi Jeff,
Ouch, Iβm sorry to hear that. In this case, Iβm tempted to wish you a speedy path forward to better things, but Iβm not sure if βspeedyβ would be a good ideaβ¦ π Iβll stick to blessing you, then, and wish you all the best!
And yep, I, too, would appreciate your blessings very much right now. Thanks,
Regine
MJ says
Hi Regine-
Would very much appreciate a general blessing for health and well-being this week. 2025 started out a bit dodgy with two weeks of bronchitis from which I am slowly but surely rebounding. Hoping to find a full-time job and need an extra spark of energy to keep moving on.
Thank you for your generosity. Looking forward to reading your essay about giving blessings for a year (has it really been that long already?!).
May you have a blessed week yourself with extra inspiration for your blessing session.
MJ
Regine says
Hi MJ,
Yes, it’s hard to believe, but it has been a year already. π Good to hear you’re at least rebounding from your bronchitis – they can be quite clingy, alas! I’ve put you on the list,
Regine
Valerie says
Thanks and greetings from the Nickel, Regine! Please kindly add all of us to your blessing list this week. We are addicted! But that’s a good thing, right? π
Vicki read your Blessing Anniversary essay, and remarked how lucky we are to be on your list.
May I send you blessings as well?
Thanks as always,
Valerie, Trevor, Shirleen, Vanessa, and Vicki
Regine says
My favourite Nickel! π
I suppose there are worse addictions… π Please tell Vicki it’s really kind of her to follow along with my ramblings, but nah – I’m glad to have you on the list!
Yes, plesae, and thanks for asking: I’d appreciate your blessings very much this week.
Regine

Hi Regine,
I would like to ask a blessing for me and my little family. I could use some strength, this year is starting rough.
Best regards,
Marko
Regine says
Hey Marko,
Ouch. ;-( I hope things will turn to the better soon. Glad to have you on the list, and all the best to you and your family,
Regine
Marko says
Thank you Regine,
well the good part is, that both momy and baby show no signs of trouble π
The bad news is, that I seem to be in for a pressure cooker ride. Auch.
Thank you, every bit helps.
Marko
Regine says
Hi Marko,
Ouch – you’ve got my full sympathy! But yep, it’s very good that they are fine and well. π
I’ve put you on the list and wish you a good week (quiet and trouble-free, maybe?),

Jennifer Kobernik says
I would really appreciate a blessing this week. Just found out that the baby is still breech and I am due pretty soon (Iβm going on 36 weeks), so blessings for her to find an optimal position for a safe and healthy delivery are especially appreciated.
Regine says
Hi Jennifer,
This is one of those situations where it would be good to be relaxed, but staying relaxed is anything but easy, huh? π
This isn’t medical advice, but I know that some people have had success with the baby being manually turned – of course, only by an experienced practitioner and in a supervised situation. It’s usually done towards the end (you might just be at the right stage), but ideally not too late. I.e. while the baby is still as small as possible, but also old enough to be fine in case anything should go wrong and there has to be an emergency C-section. I’m not sure if this is available in any hospitals within your reach, but it might be worth checking. There is also other, non-invasive stuff like moxa and acupuncture, but again, you’d need a qualitified professional – this isn’t home treatment level. (I’m also sure you know all of this already and have tried whatever is available, and I’m the umpteenth person to give you the same advice… π )
In any case, all the best to all of you, and I sincerely wish you that the baby will turn and both of you will have a safe and pleasant delivery,
Regine
Jennifer Kobernik says
Thank you so much for this! I have an appointment tentatively scheduled with my midwife to try to turn her if she doesnβt do it on her own. Hereβs hoping!
Regine says
Awesome, that’s good. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you and the little one! π
