+++ 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. 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 or my thoughts about one year of blessings – 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’…

Thank you

Hi Regine,
If you donβt mind blessing our whole family this week, we would be very grateful: Jennifer, Josiah, Joanna, and Eleanor.

Hello again, Regine!
All is well enough here, hope the same for you π
Iβm here again for a blessing. Thanks for your persistence!
Matt
Regine says
Hi Matt,
Thanks, it is. Glad to hear you’re doing well, or as well as could be. π
Noted. I like “persistence” – it sounds a lot better than “stubbornness”… π

Mark says

Valerie says
Greetings and thanks from the Nickel, Regine! Weβre back for another round of blessings, please. π
Shirleen found herself accidentally locked outside on Vickiβs patio last week while Vicki and her husband took their dog for a walk. Fortunately it was a mild day, and the mistake was remedied in under an hour, but there are some hard feelings. However, and this may well be in response to your blessings, Shirleen isnβt totally dumping on Vicki. She acknowledges that she is frustrated with her own limitations as an aging woman with multiple health issues. What wouldβve been a nasty situation once is now merely a big chill. A blessing, really. ππ₯Άπ
May I continue to send you my blessings?
Thanks for your generosity,
Valerie, Trevor, Shirleen, Vanessa, and Vicki
Regine says
Hi Valerie,
lol – it sounds as if Shirleen has quite the story to tell! π
I’m glad to hear everybody is taking things as gracefully as they can, though. Situations like these aren’t always easy, for all the people involved – and we’re all only human, after all. π
Yes, please, I’d very much appreciate your blessings this week. Thanks for asking!
Regine
PS: I take it at least the dog had a good time… π
Valerie says
π Yes, Sunny the dog makes it her business to have a good time. And she pretty much always succeeds. π
Josh says
Hi Regine,
A blessing would be much appreciated. Thanks for the opportunity, as always.

Jeff Russell says
Howdy!
Once again, I’d like to request blessings for my girls, myself, and our household for strength and spirit for moving forward, in whatever way is best for everyone involved, in the name of Frigg, Hearthmother.
Thanks very much, and my blessings to you as well!
Jeff
Regine says
Heya!
Gladly, and thanks for signing up again. I hope you’ve all had a good start into this week, π
