“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.

    If you are afraid of doing anything effecting your situation in an unforseen way, you’ve not yet let the situation go enough to allow your spell to work.

    Its not mine, and an old one, but one certain people I know need to hear…. Its an old gem and I’m proud to say I always bring my “gun” to the figurative gunfight: “Don’t bring a knife to a gunfight.” In other words, choose your battles wisely, and come prepared when you engage in…

    To have someone truly love you, you must love yourself first. And, no, I didn’t mean masturbate (though, if you’re a man and a bit quick on the first round, you might try that BEFORE the date,) I mean you must have confidence, and pride, and truly love the person you are. 😉

    The Universe rewards the negative and those who complain a lot with more to complain about – probably since the behavior of said people would bespeak that this is exactly what they want – more to complain about. If you want less to complain about, perhaps taking actions to make your life better, rather than…
