“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.

    Behind-the-scenes spellcasting tips.
    Basically, not walking us through the physical actions of a particular spell, but what goes on in the mind of the spellcaster during the spell. When you anoint that candle, do you draw energy into yourself and then pass it into the candle. Or do you visualize a successful outcome. Etc.

    That’s a good question. 😉 I mean, I assume its a bit different for everyone, but I can try to formally explain that…
    I just get worried sometimes, because I put pics up to show how to make a name paper, and it still doesn’t make any sense to them. 😉 Incredibly simple concepts are difficult for many people in newbie days and they stress SO EFFING MUCH…so I try to present the information in a way that I would find helpful as a newb…and to me telling me what/how to visualize would (and sometimes did,) eff me up. 😉
    BUT, for you Ater, anything!!! 😉 I’ll just close comments on that particular post! (J/K!)

    One of my favorite posts was your recipe for Road Opener Oil I enjoyed making it and using it. I would love to learn any other recipes you might wish to share for oils. Money drawing? Crown of Success for example?

    I wouldn’t mind reading more about your opinions on the occult/supernatural in general such as the whole “are spirits from your mind or external beings“ debate between occultist. Maybe some of your experiences with “spirits” and ghost in general. Um, what do you think about Aleister Crowley? Not sure if you already have articles like this, but yeah I’d like to read that.
