A blessing is an informal permission given by a person who is authoritative for the supplicant (father, mother, priest, teacher, etc.). For all its immateriality, it plays an important role for the petitioner as support, directive, approval. As a rule, it is customary to ask and give a blessing in patriarchal religious communities.
Instruction manual
1
The blessing will not give you carte blanche, you cannot justify the means with the end. And do not think that with blessing you will be lucky, miraculously removing all obstacles. Still have to work hard for the cause.
2
Talk to the person you are going to ask. Tell him about your business. Do not hide important details. Watch his reaction. Perhaps he does not approve of your idea.
3
If he nevertheless agrees with you, at the end of the speech, say: "bless (those), father (mother, mentor or other treatment)."
4
It is accepted while the mentor blesses you (baptizes) to bow his head in respect. Sometimes hands are folded, palms up, right to left, crosswise. After that, kiss the hand that blessed you.
