“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.

  • Adaptability and Resilience

    Hello my Occulties,  For many years, I have told many many readers and clients that without adaptability, they would not achieve the sort of success they would have with it, or sometimes might even find themselves with complete spell failure. it comes down to this… if your reaction to any obstacle or challenge is to…

  • Making Spellwork Manifest Better and Faster

    Hey occulties, While I wait for my business site to update (yay, techie issues,) I figured we could review some of the actions and behaviors which help your spell work manifest faster and better. As many of you know, I get the (not always fun) honor of being the driving force behind bringing lust for…

  • On Jar Spells

    Hey occulties,  People ask me what are the benefits of jar spells over other spell types. The answer is that a jar spell tends to use a steady and constant influence, rather than sending out a strong pulse of energy at once.  Remember there are situations which evolve constantly, which I refer to as a…

  • Spell to draw customers

    Hey occulties,  So clearly our forebears in the world of magic did not have internet businesses. Even 100-150 years ago the idea of businesses done by mail (which is about the closest approximation we can use to the internet if we look back in time,) were still pretty novel. But this doesn’t mean you need…

  • Success Work vs Money Work

    Hello Occulties,  Today, I’d like to briefly touch on how success work and money work are similar but are not the same, as I’d like to post some money and success spellwork for you but feel like we need to have this little chat first.  Now one thing I’m going to say before I even…

  • Spell to Turn Gossip Against its Author

    Hey kids, If you’ve ever had someone pass lies around about you, you know it’s a terrible feeling. If you know the person who made these false tales up about you, – and I mean be sure they are false when you use this spell, – then a really simple method to get back at…

  • Communication Sweet Jar

    Hey Occulties,  Some if you have asked for a sweet jar that encourages communication so here it is! I may have shared a similar one, but I’m hoping not the same one. I’ve been planning on adding a jar spells category for some time as they are very popular, so I’ll kick off that category…

  • Three Ways You May Be Slowing (or even ruining) Your Spellwork’s Manifestation

    Hey Occulties,  Time for a review of sorts (I’ve written similar articles,) about what you may be doing to slow your spellwork’s manifestation.  *You are vigilantly focused on your situation, and often ruminate over what might happen next. I’ve discussed lust for results, – I’m credited as the source for why this is now discussed…

  • Spell for Employment

    Hi Occulties,  Now that my apparently flabby ass that’s grotesque in every way (Mr NinjaCat doesn’t always want to use the bathroom right after me for sure,) has been dragged clean thanks to the Reddit Society for Discussing Cat’s Ass (see previous post) and is also far more shapely (failed bullying target workout is apparently…

  • Things Experienced Spellcasters Don’t Seem to Discuss

    Hey occulties, It seems to me that as many. of my peers and I become older, there is a section that wants to behave like these sage old hippie types…which I guess is predictable but always comes off as a bit douchey to me, which the amusing part is not a single one of them…
