“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.

  • Q&A: Removing a Nasty Neighbor

    The following question is exerpted from a client of mine’s email who had a wonderful place to live…until the neighbors from Hell moved in next door.

  • “How Do I…” Get Witness/Target Samples?

    Good morning occulties! I’ve obviously been on a reconciliation/love spell kick as far as topics go… 😉 Many of these spells (as well as many types of spells,) require harvesting something of the target’s such as hair, blood, photo, signature, clothes, etc. Often, the collecting of such objects, often known as a “witness,” or “witness…

  • Samhain a-comin’

    Well, truth be told, Beltaine is my favorite holiday, but I’m a big fan of Samhain/Halloween/Day of the Dead, or whatever you wish to call it. Perhaps it is because it is sort near my birthday, but this seems to be one of the times during the wheel of the year that yours truly is…

  • Fair Return?

    Hello my lovelies… I am pre-coffee right now, so ‘scuse me if I get a little off-topic. Today’s topic is the one of returning a lover/loved one through spellwork. It’s one that will probably come up more than once, so I am not going to spend a helluva lot of time on it. 😉 A…

  • Fool-proof Spell

    The Fool-Proof Spell and other Fictional Creatures Alright, ENOUGH already!!! There ain’t no gal-danged fool-proof spell! If you say you have one, you are a big fat fluffy-bunny LIAR! Also, I don’t know where the f— you people are finding these spirits, but working with angels is neither safe, nor easy. Angels are powerful non-human,…
