“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.

    Hey Occulties, If there is one thing that has been very unfortunate for true students of magic and the occult, it’s the rise of AI – at least at this writing. AI is neither psychic, nor a good judge of magic, does not know what makes a magic spell, and of course it has zero…

    Easy Long-Term Love Work – The Honey Jar

    Hi Occulties, I realize we’ve gone over honey jars in here before, and I apologize as it’s not really the most exciting thing to share – very common in fact, – but for my new readers and folks who are beginners, this offers a very simple way to do a type of working that is…

    Have You Been Discriminated Against Trying to Use Blaze Ads?

    Hey everyone, Clearly, what I write about won’t be everyone’s cup of tea. A few articles may even be mildly spicy. 🌶️ But I’d been able to use Blaze ads to promote my site before…until apparently this week when 4 post promotions were rejected. The first 2, I thought…”well, that’s odd. I’m not advocating violence…
