“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.

  • Reddit Stalker…. The True Story *UPDATED*

    Hello my Occulties, This incident was also covered here on my business site.  So as you may have guessed, when you've been in business for two decades as I have, despite publicly posted terms of service and rules, most of which have remained the same since the business began, despite making hundreds if not thousands…

  • Unlikely Love Rekindled….

    Hey Occulties, So, another client has a story to share with all of us, and this one needs some background. Of course, all names are changed. I liked this one as it really shows how subtle spells can be, where it's all "too convenient" at times. Normally I share the really wild manifestations but this…

  • Sweet Justice!!

    Good morning, Occulties, So, I'm glad to have a client story to share this morning, and not only was it a welcome read (because Mercury decided to retrograde all over me before 9am, ha!) I'm even more grateful I was given permission to share. Names are all changed, of course. Sometime around February, my client…

  • A Confession of an Occult Mastermind

    I would rather help 50 people who follow my instructions to the letter (and I never ask anyone to do anything that isn't hugely simple like "stop stalking your target," and "do not fight with this person,") but have problems so bad they seem virtually impossible to fix even with the best of spells, than…

  • Reviewing People Who Use Review Sites to Find Spellcasters – 5 Reasons You Should Smarten Up and Not Roll with that Crowd

    Hello Occulties, Let's be honest. We all know I think review sites are some smelly turds that hurt more than they help. Well, if you didn't know that, now you do. I especially cringe when I see a whole boatload of people have written originalninjacat review because I cleared my history and Google showed me…

  • All Hail Saleos!

    Hey there, Occulties, Since I’ve definitely signed myself up for more work than I ever should have with 13 more posts (well, 12 after this,) all having to go up on or before December 31 (all while working 14 hour days, because I just am a glutton for punishment,) I had a few days to…

  • Confessions of an Occult Mastermind: This One Time in College…

    Hey Occulties, You know, today was my friend Shea’s birthday. She would have been 35. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about her. As I’m sure many of you know through your own personal losses, it’s very hard to lose someone you love so very much. The pain never really…

  • QYAM: Stupid Questions to STOP Asking Me edition

    Hi Occulties! I know, I know, why am I doing this again? Because I have to. Please feel free to laugh, to shudder, or to go “Wait, I didn’t realize this!” 😉 Enjoy…because I’m sure I just offended some people. I wish I was sorry about that. Q: Where do you buy sulfur? I have…

  • Questions You’ve Asked Me: April 2014 Edition

    Hey occulties, Time again, for a Questions You’ve Asked Me article. 😀 Q: I have found a dead bird in front of my house. I think I’m cursed. I also had a spider crawl on me, so I must be cursed, right? A: I often get mails about an unfortunate dead bird (who probably ran…

  • Eulogy for Shea

    Hi Occulties, I know I promised a Questions You’ve Asked Me article by today. It’s even sitting here almost finished and I’ve not touched it. I was in fact chatting with RO today when I got some terrible news. A dear friend of mine had passed away. I would not say I am often an…
