“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.

  • Jar Spell to Improve Communication with your Partner

    Hey there Occulties, Phew, this week was definitely crazy, but I think it's starting to normalize. I did check the news and a planet has not blown up as I suspected might be the problem, haha. Anyhow I know a lot of you have missed some fun spell articles so I'm here to remedy that.…

  • Spell to Reconcile an Ex

    Hey kids, So, unsurprisingly, my previous article was setting you up for this article…  Let's discuss reconciling that ex of yours – now as I said before, just because you return a jerk to you and make them feel warm and squishy towards you, they will not somehow become super enlightened, and will still have…

  • Why Reconciliation Spells “Don’t Last” (Hint, they do.)

    Good Morning, Occultey Friends, Today I'd like to discuss the idea that if you reconcile an ex using magic, that it's just never going to work out. To this I'd like to respond…. HORSESHIT. Double stinky extra wet floppy droppy horseshit.  HOWEVER (you knew that part was coming,) you might be confused because people often…

  • 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…

  • Myth VS Reality

    Hey Occulties, Today, I'd like to discuss "wrong ideas" people get in their heads about spellwork, the occult, etc., which this is not really going to be a finite list or near to it, but definitely some of the things I currently see all too often. So in no numbered order, here are some myths…

  • Speed of Manifestation in Reconciliation – Slow may be Better.

    Hey there, Occulties, So, as I continue on with this reconciliation series, the big "when do I get results if I do this, or is this faster, or is this here what I want because it's fastest," problem with reconciliation is the part I'd next like to address. While you would not be wrong to…

  • Coercive-Types of Reconciliation – When You Really Need to Pull out the Big Guns

    Hey Occulties, Continuing on with our reconciliation discussion, today we will be discussing "coercive reconciliation," which tend to fall under (possibly surprising) categories…such as control-spell or curse. Now, that sounds bad enough, but there are even people who will use a "Love me or Die" spell, and yeah…not only is that not likely to work…

  • Return-to-Me-Type Reconciliation Work, When to Use It, When Is It Not Enough?

    Hey there Occulties! :)  So, in continuing on in my series on reconciliation, today we move onto Return to Me type reconciliation, which is basically reconciliation with a drawing element to it, meaning it draws the party to be reconciled back into your life. This is likely the most-common type of reconciliation working, as many…

  • Non-Coercive, Straight-up Reconciliation

    Hey Occulties, In continuing with my last post regarding reconciliatory spellworkin's, today's article examines when is it the most-appropriate to use reconciliation without a drawing element (which would make it "return to me,") or a coercive/controlling element. As I've stated a number of times, it is a relatively common mistake to use this form of…

  • Reconciliation/Return-to-Me/Controlling Reconciliation – Which Is Right for You?

    Hey Occulties, So it may surprise you, but for almost 2 months (I think – hard to say as it changes the date each time I hit save,) I have been writing the same post. It's not that it's exceptionally long, (not at all,) but rather that I had some family stuff to deal with,…
