That's a list that includes nearly any human activity. It's hard enough
to trim lists down to the necessary and sufficient because of faith
mandatory ones like Christianity and faith irrelevant ones like
Buddhism. Try making the list longer and it never stops.

At our kindred meeting last month we did a tool blessing. Sort of based
on the Charming of the Plough but focusing of current ones. I offered
my cell phone for blessing. It felt Shinto really, but but was very
Asatru.

When I lived in New Hampshire, there was an annual Blessing of the Fleet for
the lobstermen out of Portsmouth. Catholic, but the Catholic Church was
always a magpie when it come to picking up bits and pieces of the
indigenous religions.
