“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.

  • Money/Wealth Candle Spell

    Hey Everyone, Sorry for being such an absentee. I’ve been working myself silly…and yet not earning more, go figure, lol! 😉 This spell is for money and prosperity.

  • Getting a Job Mojo

    Hello Occulties, I often have a hard time with expaining money spells as being different than gambling spells. However, I believe it is much better for someone to EARN their keep than to wait around for the winning Powerball ticket, so I am going to give you a job-getting spell instead of inscribing a money…

    Hello my dear occulties, Ah, I have been so M.I.A. lately, have I not? I have been quite busy, tho not with much pay to show for it. 😉 One of these reasons is a site I work for who takes a damn 30% commission on top of paying me once a MONTH (thanks, uh,…
