“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.

  • What It Means When I Say You Can’t Overcome Someone’s Nature

    Good Morning Occulties, All too often, someone will come to me, and, obviously smitten by another’s looks and/or charm, will say something to the effect of “I am in love with (person,) except that I do not like his/her sense of humor, I want him/her to be more honest, to always be faithful because he/she…

  • Nifty Little Controlling Jar Spell

    Hey kids,  So with a first quarter crescent moon, and it being Friday, (then sun is even in Pisces, which is a water sign,) it’s a perfect day for love magic, and I’m certain I’ll be getting lots and lots of love and reconciliation requests for spell work trickling in as the day progresses for…
