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’…

I was here last year asking for blessings, as I was going through an incredibly difficult time with my family – parental health emergencies and breakdowns and my sister dying. Eventually I stopped coming by. It felt like everything got worse no matter what prayers, blessings, actions, etc I took. Eventually I sort of gave up. I’m still trying to dig my way out of the trauma, find some better boundaries, and work on surviving. I don’t know if the blessings helped. I just remember feeling like “if this is a blessing, I don’t want it anymore.” Because everything in my life felt like a curse. Somehow, I survived. Maybe that’s the best that can be asked for certain times of life. It is very hard and I feel very beaten down lately, and cynical about spirituality – more than I want to, because I still do have beliefs and goddesses I follow.
Regine says
Hi A,
I’m very sorry to hear about that. I think material life will probably never be only sunshine and roses, no matter how much we pray or get blessed. Some lives are easer than others (or at least they seem to be so from the outside), but each life contains a certain amount of pain and other challenges.
Things like blessings can make things a bit better, or help us to bear them better – but if there is as much pain and trouble as you have experienced, then even lifting things up a bit might not always make a noticeable change, alas.
For what it’s worth, I don’t think the blessings made your situation worse. Whether they didn’t help, or whether you just couldn’t even notice it amidst the barrage of pain and trouble is something I can’t tell. 🙂
But you came back here, and I take your comment to mean that you do want to give it a try again and receive another blessing next week. I hope I got that right? 🙂
Yes, sometimes making it through is the best result we can achieve at the time. Later, with more distance and in a better position, things can be sorted out and dealt with, in whatever speed is possible. You say you’ve still got believes, so maybe there’s your starting point for slowly climbing out of the current hole?
In any case, I wish you all the best with that, and I’d love to include you in the blessings, this week and whenever you want to sign up in the future,
Regine

Thank you for your thoughtful & kind comment. I hope I will reach a place of healing at some point. Yes, I think I could use a blessing from Mother Mary this week! Thank you! I will check in as I feel able.
Regine says
Hi A,
Thanks for clarifying, and I’ll gladly include you.
All the best to you,
Regine

Hello Regine!
Oh boy, I’d be very grateful for another blessing. The way things are right now, I might become a regular around here! 🙂
As always, I offer mine in return too.
Thank you!

Regine says
Hi V.O.G.,
Well, I certainly wouldn’t mind having you as a regular, although I sincerely wish for you that it will be because you enjoy everybody else’s company here so much, and not because your life will continue to be so challenging! 😉
Noted, and yep, please, I’d appreciate your blessings this week – thanks for asking.
Regine
Valerie says
Greetings and thanks from the Nickel, Regine! 🙏
Yep, we’re back and are eager for more blessings, please. Shirleen is doing a bit better, I hear. The latest project is finding a recliner that comfortably fits her tiny body. Vicki may have located this after two failed attempts.
May I continue to send you blessings? 😊
Thanks for your generosity!
Valerie, Trevor, Shirleen, Vanessa, and Vicki
Regine says
Hey Valerie,
It‘s good to have you back, and I‘m glad Shirleen is doing a bit better. That‘s good. 🙂
Yes, please, I‘d very much appreciate your blessings this week. Thanks,
Regine

Hi Regine,
I’d appreciate another blessing this for general strength and health unless the spirits give your intuition another track!
As always I offer mine to you if you would.
Peace and harmony to you and yours,
Jeff
Regine says
Hey Jeff,
Good to have you back! 🙂 Will do, and I will listen to my intuition, too.
Yes, please, your blessing would be great and much appreciated this week. Thanks,
Regine
