“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.

  • The Importance of Learning Tarot Using a Spread

    Hey kids, So because I come across so much ignorance on the topic lately, I figured I'd write briefly again about tarot, which having read the cards since I was 12 or 13 (and I'm almost 44,) leads me to believe I may just be an authority on the subject. 😛 For starters you DO…

  • “Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right.”

    Hey Occulties, The above is a quote from Henry Ford, (albeit, I am working for memory, so hopefully that's verbatim,) but it really lends itself to what I get so frequently asked – how is it that I can stop lust for results? Well that anxious obsession is the child of doubt. Now, I'm not…

  • Obsession Spell

    Hey Occulties, So if you ever read my book, you may have come across this one. I figured since y'all want someone to be obsessed all the time, you might enjoy it here for free. 🙂 You will need:A pink figural candle in the sex of the desired target13 pinsPoppy seedLicorice rootTobaccoCome to MeLove MeFollow…

  • Mercury F**king Retrograde

    Hey everyone,  Guess what time it is? It's time for Mercury Retrograde…(coming on Sept 27, but you're probably feeling it now because of the "shadow phase, and until October 17.) This means you can expect problems with electronics, electronic banking, devices, accounts, and all sorts of weirdness (as someone who deals directly with payment services…

  • QYAM: Red Flags Article Edition

    Hey Occulties, I told you this article would cause some upheaval, so let's look at some questions I received (some in multiples,) shall we? Q: Was that article written about me? A: It's possible you have engaged in one or more of the many bulleted points, however, considering about 20% of my clients do, that…

  • Red Flags on Love/Reconcilation Cases

    Good Morning lovies, Since I'm clearly a masochist who loves punishment (or just want a lot of crying in my inbox), today I'd like to answer a client's request to know how it is I can "just tell" when a reconciliation working or love working (or, honestly any working at all, just people tend to…

  • Jar Spell to Improve Communication with your Partner

    Hey there Occulties, Phew, this week was definitely crazy, but I think it's starting to normalize. I did check the news and a planet has not blown up as I suspected might be the problem, haha. Anyhow I know a lot of you have missed some fun spell articles so I'm here to remedy that.…

  • My Mistake, September is not Slow

    Hey Occulties, I'm sure I've told you that one high maintenance client takes the time of 10 clients. So, when I say something like "What a nice quiet September it is," and then at least three-quarters of my active client list flips the "high-maintenance" switch on, that can be a bad thing for sure. I…

  • Temporary – Not Available for International Readings for Those outside of North America

    Hello lovies, So, while I normally wouldn't even bring it up, due to some tech issues (basically me waiting to get an iPhone I can hear on, and I really want a new one, so it might be a week or two, heh,) I am not able to perform international readings outside of North America…

  • Little Problems That Delay/Impede Manifestations

    Hey Occulties, Just a brief little article for you on this beautiful September Sunday. So I frequently get questions regarding why this or that isn’t manifesting, and as you guessed, nine times out of ten (if not closer to 49 times out of 50,) it’s lust for results. We’ve been over lust for results so…
