“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.

  • Cat’s Big Money Post (aw, fck yeah!)

    Hey occulties, As we can all agree, (or at least most of us can,) 2023 can go suck a bag of dicks,) and after myself and Mr NinjaCat got scammed out of 10k on our townhouse, money was in ridiculously short supply. I was and have been living in short term rentals which were not…

  • Video Upgrades

    Hey Occulties, As many of you know, my husband and I were basically scammed on renting a townhouse this past winter and lost an enormous amount of money, which would have sucked enough on its own but coupled with the economy and the rents and frequent change from rental to AirBnb property issues of Portland…

  • Spell to attract friends and admirers

    Hey Occulties,  Today Id like to focus on a spell to be more liked by others. This isn’t going to help much if you’re an asshole to those around you, and that’s why others dislike you. After 20 years of serving the public, I’ve met a fair amount of people lacking enough introspection to realize…

  • Happy St Expedite Day!

    Hello Occulties, Today is the day of St Expedite – opener of roads, bringer of fast financial decisions, and for fast help (not for love use,) and in honor of his feast day, I’m offering a votive to St Expedite (plus all necessary offerings,) for $20. Contact me if interested!  ~Cat

  • Please Help a Dear Friend

    Hey everyone,  I’m sharing this because one of oldest friends and someone who goes out of his way to make me laugh when I’ve called him crying, makes me cry from laughing so hard, and would probably kick your ass for being mean to me even with stage four liver failure because he’s also a…

  • Ghosts of the Non-Supernatural Kind

    Hey kids, While it’s unfortunate that these kinds of people exist throughout the year, every mercury retrograde, I find myself beset with about 10x the ghosting inquiries than I normally have. So, if you apply for a reading, or spell work, or even just with a question, and then never respond to my reply, you…

  • QYAM April 2024 edition

    Hey Occulties, Time once again for questions you’ve asked me! Q: Was the recent eclipse good for anything magically? A: Assuming it was visible to you, yes, but as I’d said to various readers and clients, our forebears didn’t use such phenomena that wasn’t visible to them (as they likely were not aware of it,)…

  • A Thought on Timeframes

    Hey Occulties, It’s probably something that happens once or twice a month, but inevitably someone comes to me either with a specific time frame (this must/must not happen by x date!) or just with the belief something should happen faster than it will, and when I explain that honestly what they are requesting is almost…

  • Oh Mercury Retrograde…

    Hey kids, Looks like we have a real doozy of a Mercury Retrograde coming upon us. While it can be very helpful for reconnecting with an ex or someone from your past, it can make things pretty hectic and uncomfortable too. 🙄 So expect electronics to go haywire, banking errors to happen, possible relationship stresses…
