“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.

  • Post-Turkey-Day Catch-Up

    Hello my lovies, Thanks to the Thanksgiving Day holiday last week, I am still a bit behind on correspondence, but should have everything replied to by 11/27 at noon, Eastern time (this is the same time zone as New York City or Boston,) and just to let everyone know, I am off on November 29,…

  • A Confession of an Occult Mastermind

    I would rather help 50 people who follow my instructions to the letter (and I never ask anyone to do anything that isn't hugely simple like "stop stalking your target," and "do not fight with this person,") but have problems so bad they seem virtually impossible to fix even with the best of spells, than…

  • Exactly the Sign You’re Looking For

    Hello Loveys, So I saw this travel into my newsfeed today from Brother Moloch's page, and it is the truth! If you're sick of your problems hounding you, if you want to make things better, you should live by this motto! Magic is about taking control of your life, and changing it for the better!…

  • If You Keep Picking at That, It Will Never Get Better

    Hey Occulties, While speaking to a client last night, an interesting point was brought up, which was that thanks to the Law of Attraction (which is as complex as physics, and has nothing to do lame-ass books like The Secret,) there are people who put off manifestation and cause stagnation in their own situation by…

  • Weird Things People Do to their Reconciliation Target (when using magic to reconcile that person)

    Hey Occulties! So, some of you have had a laugh when I say "DO NOT FIGHT WITH YOUR RECONCILIATION TARGET DURING THE MANIFESTATION PHASE!!" and tell me that this is a stupid thing to say, and of course you won't. Then why do I say this? It's because people do it all of the time.…

  • Ways Social Media Stalking is Harming your Spellwork

    Hello Occulties, While I'm sure I've posted some article (or multiple articles,) similar to this one, it would seem, were my inbox any clue (and on a day off since it is a holiday, no less,) that it would be time to post this again, so if this is repetitive to you, but you are…

  • Putting a Specific Idea into Someone’s Head

    Hey there occulties, Since a few people have asked, yes, at this writing the 2 spots left for the "one year plan" are still open. Given the time of year, they may actually stay unpurchased. Between thanksgiving and Xmas, sales slow down while people buy gifts, so it's possible these 2 spots will be free…

  • …And Now for Some Curses >:)

    So Occulties, I hope you enjoyed that lovely pictorial of my local graveyard. You know, the interesting thing about that cemetery is that several of the graves have lost their markers, so even when you think you are trodding through an area without graves, there are almost definitely people buried where you're walking.   Anyhow, while…

  • First Some Photos….

    Hey occulties… since i I know there are some leaf freaks in the audience, here are some unseasonably late changing trees: These were on the way to Western Cemetery, one of Portland’s oldest cemetaries. I believe the last person buried there died in 1910. Many of the graves are so worn that you can’t read…
