“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.

  • Instant Classic Email – Spellcasting in Outer-space

    Hey Occulties, Occaisionally I get some pretty funny email (whether or not that is the intention behind it,) so without further ado, a reader had asked me this: Q: Dear Cat, have you ever been in outerspace? I am pretty sure you haven’t, but I wondered – would spells still work if you cast them…

  • ABOUT THE COMMENTS SECTION – (off topic comments, rude behaviors, and etc.)

    Hey everyone, The comments section IS NOT a way to email me. I get no notice in any emailbox that you left a comment in here, and I have to have the time to visit my weblog to see it. The comments section IS NOT a way to make demands of me. Its for clarification…

  • Mama Cat’s Pearls of Wisdom #20

    If someone is trying to use spellcraft to get you to return to them, and you’re aware of it and you wish to use spellcraft to keep their reconcilation spellwork from affecting you, I personally recommend that you DO NOT use reversing spellcraft to do so. Why? Because all you’re doing by doing this is…

  • Putting An Idea In Someone’s Head

    Hey Occulties, I know how much you guys and gals love the controlling-type spells, so I figured this charm would be popular with you. 😉 This particular charm is good if you’d like to give someone a particular idea or command. Allow me to give an example… If I wanted my boss to always think…

  • Questions You Asked Me: Reconciliation and Reconciliation Spells edition

    Hello Occulties, Apparently there is a huge need for this article, if my inbox is telling me anything true, so let’s get it done. 😉 Q: If you could give anyone who never did a reconcilation spell some advice for their first one that would apply to most or all situations, what would it be?…

  • Mama Cat’s Pearls of Wisdom #19

    To help protect yourself against harmful spells against you, keep a sprig of rue herb wrapped in a white piece of cloth in your left pants pocket. While this is not a guarantee against being harmed, it does really help…think of it sort of like a seatbelt in a car. It doesn’t guarantee you’re not…

  • Finally My Art History Minor Can Help You

    Oh, my little nit-pickers and over-analyzers… I was INSPIRED today by someone who was the literal living breathing thinking-it-to-death definition to point this out to all of you…. Sometimes people get very hung up on the little details…so much so that they can’t see the bigger picture, but claim they are trying to by figuring…

  • Emails – If you’re waiting….

    Hi everyone, Just a note to say if I’ve not answered an email of yours which was sent PRIOR TO January 4, 2010, please resubmit your email. Unfortunately, when I’m on vacation, guess what happens…email builds up! 😉 Well, if I do not get to certain people in a short period of time, they often…

    Tags from worn hats or ballcaps are wonderful things to save – they are perfect for effecting the mind or thoughts of the person who’s hat you clipped the tag from. 🙂

  • I’m so lame…

    Hey everyone, I’m so lame that I refunded failed-chargeback-freak this morning at like nine – that freak you may remember from yesterday’s article (and took pics in case anyone wants to deny I did – obviously you make false claims for a chargeback, you’ll lie about me in other ways, too.) You know I could…
