“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.

  • Putting a Specific Idea into Someone’s Head

    Hey there occulties, Since a few people have asked, yes, at this writing the 2 spots left for the "one year plan" are still open. Given the time of year, they may actually stay unpurchased. Between thanksgiving and Xmas, sales slow down while people buy gifts, so it's possible these 2 spots will be free…

  • …And Now for Some Curses >:)

    So Occulties, I hope you enjoyed that lovely pictorial of my local graveyard. You know, the interesting thing about that cemetery is that several of the graves have lost their markers, so even when you think you are trodding through an area without graves, there are almost definitely people buried where you're walking.   Anyhow, while…

  • No Rest for the Wicked…

    Hey Occulties, The following curse was created with a particular type of person I've encountered before in mind. Basically everyone has met this person before, and it is the person who decides to try to turn your life upside down over something ridiculously trivial, and while they are mostly self-defeating asshats, there still has to…

  • Shoe-Curse

    Hey there Occulties, A relatively common request (as I'm sure it would not surprise you,) is to get back at an ex or a bad friend. The following curse uses a used shoe of the target, so you probably need some close contact with this person. 😉 You will need:A worn shoe from the target9…

  • Skull-Bottle for Control/Obsession

    Hey Occulties, I really wanted to post a few things, because a lot of clients are small business owners and we all deal with jerks (of which the recent Mercury retrograde brought many!) but I didn't want to scare those of you who couldn't relate…which a few of those would be scary to those of…

  • Obsession/Intranquility Work – a few myths dispelled

    Hey there Occulties, I realize it's been awhile and I didn't want you to think I'm neglecting you. 🙂 Don't have time for much but a fast discussion on obsession and intranquility work. I'm pretty behind on some business replies and I feel like I'm cheating on my clients by writing this out. 😉 A…

  • Spell to Return Money Owed to You*

    Hey Occutlies, I'm glad to finally have this post up. I realize it's the season (the Holidays) for this, but when I was about to post this the other night, I had an inordinate amount of invoices out and I was like "Holy heck, all those poor people are going to think I am trying…

  • Mama Cat’s DDD Oil (Disease, Damage, Destruction)

    Hey Occulties, So, lots of you ask me for recipes. And more of you want curses (surprisingly a lot of you) so I figured I’d kill two birds with one stone (proverbially of course.) This is my recipe. If you wish to use it other than for personal use (that is to market it or…

  • Big, Bad, and Mean Spell to Stop a Gossip

    Hey Occulties, Recently a client asked me if there was anything she could do about a malicious gossip who was ruining her reputation at work. Apparently the gossiping party liked drama or playing people against other people – I think many of us know the type: smiles in your face, compliments you, is sweet to…

  • 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…
