“I’m Cat, and for a long time, Cat’s Rants, the longest running occult based blog was over at TypePad – since 2004. Sadly, TypePad shuttered permanently as of September 30th 2025. Please be patient while I export 21 years of blog posts over to my new WordPress location. With a much easier url to remember and all your favorite posts all the way back to 04, Cat’s Rants should hopefully improve over its former location.” Cat has practiced and studied the occult, tarot, and spellcasting for over 35 years, and has shared her expert teachings on how to cast your own spells, including original spells and recipes on the Cat’s Rants blog since 2004. A professional tarot reader since the 1990s, she’s also an internationally-known psychic reader and tarot expert. As a published and respected occultist for over two decades, and an expert in the fields of rootwork, hoodoo, and Catholic folk magic, she continues to serve the public by teaching authentic spell casting and offering readings and services.

  • Happy Birthday to Me!!!

    Sorry kids, This isn’t a post where I share a spell or jaw on about the fun side of the occult… I have been knee-deep in relatives and friends thanks to the Turkey-Day fun, and the fact that today it’s everyone’s favorite (?) occult mastermind’s birthday… Today I get a very fun visit from the…

  • The Prosperity Tree

    Recently someone asked me if there is such thing as a money tree. Short of using some glue and a lot of creativity, I have to say…no there isn’t a tree that will literally sprout bills out. 😉 However, if you really like the idea of a “money tree,” you might try something I made…

  • Happy Thanksgiving!

    I would like to say Happy Thanksgiving to all of my countrymen. 🙂 I know we get a few international readers here, but the bulk of the audience is from the USA, so enjoy your turkey today, and beware of the tryptophan in your delicious oven-bird putting you into (evil music here…) a “Turkey Coma.”…

  • Q&A: Stealth and Invisibility

    Good Morning, Occulties, The following small exerpt is from an email I received about a year ago from a skeptic, which illustrates the fact that there are certain things that some people just take too literally. For example, if and when you take communion, do you literally take a bite out of Jesus and then…

  • Karma Police…

    No my occulties, it isn’t just a song by Radiohead… Since I published my last post about…oh a little less than 2 hours ago, I have already received 2 emails whining about “karma.” Yes, my dearies, the “karma” police are in full effect… So let us just state for the record… 1.) I don’t believe…

  • Vindictive about that Break-up?

    Good Morning Occulties! From the requests I have been getting lately, some of you are really on a love kick. 😉 Aha! Or is it the other way around? Someone has stolen your lover and now you want to kick that person!? 😉 Well, all is fair in love and war, right? Before you get…

  • Evil Dead Remake?

    Alrighty kids, I LOVE the Evil Dead series… My fave is Evil Dead 2, followed by Evil Dead (1), and then Army of Darkness, (aka Evil Dead 3) which is sorta a sucky movie because people who aren’t true fans of the cult classics were unfortunately privy to the thing with the 3rd, and now…

  • Spiteful Spellwork! *add maniacal laughter here.*

    Good Morning Occulties! Well, I am obviously in a ripe mood today, aren’t I? >:) So lets all have some fun and learn an angry spell shall we? Before I proceed, I would just like to remind you that I am not responsible for any injuries you or your target may incur should you attempt…

  • Desperation – The World’s Worst Cologne

    Hey all, just saw this… If you are this desperate for a man, please jump off of the nearest cliff because nature doesn’t WANT you to have a man… This is a real billboard in Austrailia made by a real woman…

  • Q&A: Removing a Nasty Neighbor

    The following question is exerpted from a client of mine’s email who had a wonderful place to live…until the neighbors from Hell moved in next door. They weren’t mean, just terribly loud, filthy, and obnoxious. The client didn’t seek to cause the neighbors harm…just to get them to move away. Names have been removed for…
