Blog: What A Witch Has To Say

Author: Rachel Wohld 

Tell us a little bit about yourself. - Well, I am 40-something, a mom, a nurse, and oh yeah, a witch.  I have considered myself pagan for about 12 years now, in retrospect, it has been probably closer to 30 years.  I have lived in northern New Hampshire for 2 ½ years now and I still marvel at the beauty of my surroundings. 

I am pursuing a Master’s degree in nursing informatics because I am a sucker for punishment  feel that computers are the future of healthcare and as a bedside nurse, I would like to do what I can to ensure that technology does not detract from patient care.  I have been a nurse for 17 years and I can still honestly say that I love my job.  Where else can you save lives AND witness the entertainment that is modern society?

What drove you to starting your own blog? - I first started my blog as an outlet for my stressors in life.  It has slowly begun to morph into a place where I can share a bit of knowledge as I search for my path.  I have recently learned that I am not Wiccan in the strictest sense of the beliefs and the blog is where I can sort out my findings and hopefully make others aware of lesser-known facts.

What is it that you like to blog most about? - I tend to blog about whatever comes to mind, be it witchy or mundane.  I have listed my blog under adult content, not because I have anything smutty on it, but I do occasionally get a bit heated when I type up something and use what my MawMaw used to call “ugly words” and I did not want people to stumble in and be shocked.

Your thoughts on PPBH? - I have enjoyed being a part of PPBH immensely!  It has led me to many blogs that I would not have found otherwise and I have been exposed to many different views.  I check in everyday that I possibly can (I usually work nights and when I am in the middle of three 12 hours shifts in a row, it gets difficult). 

Anything else you'd like to add? - I would like to thank all the bloggers that take part in PPBH.  I love reading about your lives and how you follow your beliefs.  I have gotten to where I feel like I know many of you.  Please keep them coming!

Brightest blessings,

Rachel
