  • Hey Occulties+, Today I wanted to discuss doing work for prosperity, and some of the more common misconceptions I find people have about doing this type of work. Since I also need to get aboard the prosperity-spell train (I’ve been slacking in my own prosperity spellwork department, *sigh*) I can definitely say that right now…

  • So, for many years, I’ve not used my yahoo email for pretty much anything. It was, at the inception of my blog 10+ years ago, my main email. That was long ago. I had an old donate link there, and everyone who donated (excluding one person today,) should have had most things they sent via…

  • Hey there my Occulties+, Welcome to another exciting day at Cat’s Rants. Today, being relatively uninspired (well, I should say being stuck in a house with 2 people who emulate Mary Typhoid when sick – like coughing on their hand and putting it into a bag of chips and drinking right out of the container…

  • Hey everyone, A few friends of mine suggested I write up a campaign to get enough for me to be able to write a book. While it might just be a lark, I do hope everyone can help out. If you CAN, then I can finally publish that book I’ve been promising for…oh, ten-ish years…

  • Hey Occulties+, This just swam into my inbox. I thought it was a good question, so I’m putting it here. I’ve paraphrased and changed names to protect the querent. Thank you for letting me use this, person who asked said question. 😉 Q: About 7 years ago, I broke up with a man who I…

  • Hey Occulties,+ As promised, here is my book review of Seven Spheres by Rufus Opus Five-stars*, highly-recommended! A useful primer not only for the Hermetic magician, but for any student of the occult. Written in an affable and perspicacious tone, Seven Spheres adeptly describes the influence of the seven traditional “planets” of the occult (Sun,…

  • Hey Occulties,+ The other day, I was reading someone’s fantasy about a man who, despite having been gifted financially and in the looks department, had been felled by an “unfortunate” (implied: mystical and magical curse) health problem in his prime which destroyed him because he’d been unkind to women. Apparently “the cancer” took him down,…

  • Hey there Occulties,+ I was recently inspired by a forum post in a facebook forum I belonged to, where a gentleman had posted a relatively nicely made tool he’d made “hadn’t worked.” Now I put that in quotes not because I disbelieve the man (I believe it didn’t work when he tried,) but more because…
