“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.

  • Magic – Because it Works

    Magic – Because it Works

    Hey occulties, A muggle friend and I were chatting this weekend, and she asked me why I don’t curse people more often. My reply? “Because it works.” I then detailed specific incidents of said curses working too well. One thing even was national news. You’d have to ask me privately (I am not naming names…

    Putting an Idea in a Target’s Head

    Hey there Occulties, I know I shared this one some time ago (probably more than 15 years ago, now, so it’s buried in the archives) and I wanted to expand on the original version I’d shared so we could look at some long-term jar work that IS NOT a honey jar, and can be used…

  • Questions You’ve Asked Me: Happy To Be Back edition

    Questions You’ve Asked Me: Happy To Be Back edition

    Hey Occulties, It’s been SOOOO long since I posted a QYAM, that I really needed to get one out. I’ve been working on a few spell posts, but this one is definitely overdue. Remember, these questions sometimes come from multiple people repeatedly (thus why they can seem repetitive as it means I need to review…

  • Spell for Revenge on the “Other Woman/Man”

    Hey Occulties, If you find out your spouse or partner is cheating on you, and you wish to remove the person they are cheating with as well as punish that person for their misdeeds, this spell is for you. If you ARE the other woman/man, this spell will not work for you. It doesn’t matter…

  • Graveyard Spell

    Graveyard Spell

    Hey Occulties, The following spell is generally used in matters of love, business, or of money. I know a few of you may try to use it for more nefarious reasons, and should you do so, be prepared if that goes south for you. Not all dead will help you in matters of adultery/cheating (assuming…

  • Q&A: Why Isn’t my Love Spell Working?

    Q&A: Why Isn’t my Love Spell Working?

    Hey Occulties, If you’re a long time reader, you know I’ve written all about this before, and I’ve answered it in QYAM as well…but it’s a common enough question I get, and the fact that I have people willing to read an article and actually really learn something VS people who expect me to dress…

  • Revenge on a Gossip

    Hey occulties,  I’m not a fan of gossip, and while there’s definitely stop gossip spells, someone somewhere is always naive enough to believe lies and rumors. I’m lucky in this respect…Mr NinjaCat knows who he’s married to, and I have handfuls of personal items from those who are troublesome for personal reasons that he gave…

  • Destroying the “Other Woman”

    Hey occulties, Should you find a woman chasing after your man (or woman), or even worse, having him start to listen to her, or even worse carrying on in an affair, then even if you throw him out (and even if you don’t,) you should try this out so everyone knows what she is, and…

  • The S*** Spell

    Hey occulties, So this one is created for people who are full of shit and talk shit and are shit. If you want all their shit to stink, this one’s for you… You will need:9 different pieces of poop from one or all of the following animals: dog, horse, bull. Dog is the most repellent…

  • Hex for Someone who Has Betrayed your Trust

    Hey Occulties, Now for something more exciting and not inspired by the people who don’t read the archives. 🤪 This is a spell to specifically work on a friend or confidant who has revealed your secrets or spoken falsely (in a bad way,) about you. If you trusted someone to remain discreet or if they…
