“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.

  • A Spell to Get Another to Contact You

    Hey my Occulties! So I racked my little Hoodoo-eriffic brain this morning, and I tried to find something for you that all of you will enjoy. This was not easy… I’ve been working on OriginalNinjaCat products (actual products to advertise this here blog…but they are SOOOOO FUNNY if you are occult minded that I keep…

  • Quick Review

    Hello Occulties, So.. We’ve discussed the basic principles of effective spellcasting or being a petitioner (Spellcasting and petitioning here, Spellcasting here,) and I’ve also gone over references and basics in several places, such as here (blessing,) here (basics,) here (stuff like name papers,) and here (the entire archive of Questions You’ve Asked Me.) I’m not…

  • Mama Cat’s Pearls of Wisdom #5

    If you are afraid of doing anything effecting your situation in an unforseen way, you’ve not yet let the situation go enough to allow your spell to work.

  • Sorry, Its Too Funny Not To Share – it was entitled “Poopster.”

    From our old friend, and because it was so fun, after I forwarded it to the police, I had to put it up. I needed a laugh… I don’t think I’ve been called “Poopster” before… That’s a new one. Interesting to note the full headers had changed from those of five minutes before this when…

  • Mama Cat’s Pearls of Wisdom #4

    Its not mine, and an old one, but one certain people I know need to hear…. Its an old gem and I’m proud to say I always bring my “gun” to the figurative gunfight: “Don’t bring a knife to a gunfight.” In other words, choose your battles wisely, and come prepared when you engage in…

  • A Good Defense Is a Good Offense

    Hello my Occulites, So here I was…and I thought… If I need to defend myself sometimes – I bet you do too! 🙂 I mean, releasing one’s negative energy in a productive and ass-kickular fashion is what good occulites do! We do what we can legally in this plane, and then we turn to the…

  • Mama Cat Was Up Very Late…

    Alright… I took care of the bad man on the interwebs. I am nothing if not driven. For those of you I’ve bothered about the bad man…I apologize. He’s all taken care of and doesn’t know it yet. 🙂 I’m sorry to have given you some trouble when I didn’t have to stay up emailing…

  • Open Letter Part II

    Dearest Frater Dantalion: Thank you for updating your “scam” of Calastrology. They have been online since the nineties and offering the same services. Glad you liked my letter alerting you of that and you changed it. See, I tell the truth, you twist it. I have never been a member on YouTube. We can prove…

  • Open Letter…

    Dearest Frater Dantalion, I do not have a YouTube account (not one I know of at least, which means I never made one,) nor have I ever had contact with you at this writing. I don’t know why you feel I’ve caused you hurt or pain or said you’re a scammer (never heard of you,)…

  • How The HELL Do You Tie This Thing Anyway?

    Hey occulties, So…I’ll be honest. Sometimes you guys have a hard time understanding things because its very new to you, and you’re unsure how to do things. Well, short of me making movies (difficult with no camera with that capacity,) I honestly avoid discussing it because I’m still describing, re-explaining, and explaining for the nth…
