“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.

  • Spell to Run Someone Crazy

    Hey Occulties, For starters, this isn’t a nice spell. 😛 Further it makes someone act crazy (and not a fun, party “you so crazy” sort of crazy) which can bring about some outcomes you might not like (while the manifestation may not become this extreme, there is a possibility of them becoming violent to others…

  • Curse to Make Miserable Someone who Has Wronged You

    ***IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ALL THE INGREDIENTS IN THIS SPELL, DO NOT ASK ME FOR A SUBSTITUTION. YOU WILL BE IGNORED, AND IF YOU PERSIST IN ASKING ME FOR A SUBSTITUTION YOU WILL BE PERMANENTLY BLOCKED FROM COMMENTING ON THIS BLOG. THE SUBSTITUTION FOR ANY SPELL THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE AN INGREDIENT FOR-,…

  • Drawing Legal/Police Trouble to a Troublemaker

    Hello my Occulties, Before I start, I want to remind everyone that spells are not to replace common sense. If someone is threatening you or you are in physical danger, you need to call the police and/or emergency services. This spell is NOT to be used in place of calling the proper authorities or help…

  • Putting An Idea In Someone’s Head

    Hey Occulties, I know how much you guys and gals love the controlling-type spells, so I figured this charm would be popular with you. 😉 This particular charm is good if you’d like to give someone a particular idea or command. Allow me to give an example… If I wanted my boss to always think…

  • A Brief Discussion on Hoodoo Spells that Use Human Poo as an Ingredient – Not for the Sensitive of Stomach

    Hello my dear Occultey-friends! Alrightey, one of my dear readers has challenged me to actually post traditional Hoodoo spells that use feces. Not being coprophagiac…or in any way enamored of poo (I really don’t like poop at all, frankly, and would entirely give up pooping if that wouldn’t cause me to explode from it building…

  • Foot-tapping controlling spell/charm

    Hi Occulties! So, everyone’s been asking me for a controlling spell, and here ’tis for you all, my lovies. 🙂 See, you only needed to weather a giant rant, and really that was for the “drama, oh, the drama!” people anyhow. 😉 And you probably got sad and didn’t read it anyhow, right? So, alrightey……

  • Charm to Make an Enemy Move Away

    Hey Occulties, Just a quickie here today – I will have some articles coming up on technique and a few more articles with spells in the next few weeks. Its a rough month for me. I am trying to save up to move my business site to a new host, so that’s been a bit…

  • A Good Defense Is a Good Offense

    Hello my Occulites, So here I was…and I thought… If I need to defend myself sometimes – I bet you do too! 🙂 I mean, releasing one’s negative energy in a productive and ass-kickular fashion is what good occulites do! We do what we can legally in this plane, and then we turn to the…

  • Caught in your Web

    Hello my occulties, I decided to share this spell for those of you who have been betrayed by someone close to you. This spell REQUIRES a biological item, there is no exception to this rule, nor any sub. You can’t use a photo, handwriting, or just a name if you want this to work. A…

  • Controlling Another.

    Good day, my occulties! Your high-mistress-occultey has been so absent lately, and I’m sorry. I’d much rather be gabbing with all of you. Have you missed me? Did you notice I added an FAQ in the Contact part of the nav bar? See, yours truly has gotten SO TIRED of answering the same questions (especially…
