“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.

  • Drawing Love to Yourself

    Hey Occulties,  So since I’m assuming this is my last post before my mega sale ends (and I have some awesome people I have worked for before as well as new folks and all of y’all are a dream to work for,) I will take from sales what the current trends are and while it…

  • Love and Love Spells: Shocking the Target

    Hey Occulties,  I suspect I already regret writing this article, because a few someones will take it too far, but I’d like to briefly touch on a problem which is a relatively common one, and hopefully this will be helpful to those of you casting spells on a target with tenuous results. This is a…

  • Making Spellwork Manifest Better and Faster

    Hey occulties, While I wait for my business site to update (yay, techie issues,) I figured we could review some of the actions and behaviors which help your spell work manifest faster and better. As many of you know, I get the (not always fun) honor of being the driving force behind bringing lust for…

  • On Jar Spells

    Hey occulties,  People ask me what are the benefits of jar spells over other spell types. The answer is that a jar spell tends to use a steady and constant influence, rather than sending out a strong pulse of energy at once.  Remember there are situations which evolve constantly, which I refer to as a…

  • The Semi Yearly Post of What Practitioners Say about Business, Bad Clients, and the Job

    Hey Occulties,  It probably doesn’t surprise you that I have some friends in the occultist for hire field, and probably surprises even less of you that I speak to others in my field who I’m not friends with on a regular basis. While I’d never name names, here’s some of the most common stuff I…

  • Thank You, St Expedite!

    Thank you for helping, as always so quickly, St Expedite! Your assistance always comes fast and just as requested! 

  • Spell to draw customers

    Hey occulties,  So clearly our forebears in the world of magic did not have internet businesses. Even 100-150 years ago the idea of businesses done by mail (which is about the closest approximation we can use to the internet if we look back in time,) were still pretty novel. But this doesn’t mean you need…

  • Success Work vs Money Work

    Hello Occulties,  Today, I’d like to briefly touch on how success work and money work are similar but are not the same, as I’d like to post some money and success spellwork for you but feel like we need to have this little chat first.  Now one thing I’m going to say before I even…

  • Spell to Turn Gossip Against its Author

    Hey kids, If you’ve ever had someone pass lies around about you, you know it’s a terrible feeling. If you know the person who made these false tales up about you, – and I mean be sure they are false when you use this spell, – then a really simple method to get back at…

  • QYAM: March 2024 edition

    Hey occulties, Its time for another addition of Questions You’ve Asked Me! Q: If the moon is full, will that make the spell stronger?  A: No, probably not. In most cases someone asking this assumes that the full moon, being itself the completion of the WAXING or GROWING lunar cycle means that a full moon…
