“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.

  • When Love Spells Seem to Stall or Fall Flat of Expectations

    Hey Occulties, So, a common question I get is "Cat, why is this love spell stalling if I am not obsessive or doing anything wrong? I did (spell) and then (other spell) and here I am waiting." The first answer that no one wants is probably…lust for results. I've had it and not wanted to…

  • That Explains a Few Things….

    So, a lot of friends who are self-employed and run small businesses have been complaining of crappy returns, while other (and sometimes the same) friends are complaining of having old secrets and old promises starting to haunt them. Well, both Saturn and Jupiter are in shadow and waiting to retrograde, and shadow periods are weirdly…

  • Skull-Bottle for Control/Obsession for Purchase

    Hey all, A few of you have asked me if I would create one of these for you, consecrate it, and send it back to be worked on by you. While I'm happy to create the item, I would still have to receive certain biological concerns and so forth for it to be effective. If…

  • That Conversation about Maintenance you Probably Didn’t Want to Have

    Hey there my lovies, So, as it happens, many of my readers come here to find that one spell to do that one thing so that they never need to use spellwork again. And you know what? That's OK. I'm totally fine with that. Sometimes you just need that one thing and only that one…

  • Spell to Get Someone to Be More Kind Towards You

    Hey Occulties, This spell would be useful for a nasty coworker, a nasty neighbor, or a loved one who is just being a jerk. 😉 I would not refer to this as a reconciliation spell (you might find it a bit mild if you need a full blown reconciliation,) but it does really help when…

  • Horror Stories of Professional Occultists

    Hey there, Occulties, So, I'm sure I've written this article before (almost 15 years of blogging means I most likely have, haha,) but seeing as there are actually people out there who believe the customer is always right (which, no, they aren't,) some of these might enlighten you to what people in my profession deal…

  • I Love Paimon

    Hey kids, So, a shout out to the King of the West, the Mighty King Paimon. May all hail Paimon, she who has been so helpful to me and a good friend to me. There are not enough praises in the English language to do her justice.  Thank you, thank you, thank you, King Paimon.…

  • The Best Tool

    Hey there Occulties, So, in keeping with what I was saying yesterday, – the greatest tool in any spell is the person casting that spell, – I'd like to expand on that. We've all heard "practice makes perfect," and if there is one thing I see in today's society with growing frequency is this idea…

  • A Word about Tools

    Hey Occulties, While it's still a few weeks off until I start, I'm going to be giving my publisher a manuscript relatively soon, so another book is a-coming. 🙂 Basically, I just need to get my (brand new) laptop fixed. Yes, I'm apparently somehow mystically incapable of treating anything with a touch screen well for…

  • Bottle Spell for Prosperity

    Hey Occulties! Everyone always needs more money, so I'm sure this will be well received. While there are a few ways to change this spell a bit if you feel that it does not match what you can do (and these are mentioned within the text), please remember the substitution for ingredient or action in…
