“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.

  • Nifty Little Controlling Jar Spell

    Hey kids,  So with a first quarter crescent moon, and it being Friday, (then sun is even in Pisces, which is a water sign,) it’s a perfect day for love magic, and I’m certain I’ll be getting lots and lots of love and reconciliation requests for spell work trickling in as the day progresses for…

  • Concise and Simple

    Hey Occulties, Today on Cat’s Rants I’d like to discuss a mistake I see people making frequently… Keep It Simple, but Keep It Concise. So often when it comes to revenge or love, I get a novel-length email regarding what EXACTLY should happen, and I mean sometimes it is so exact that the amount of…

  • Little Problems That Delay/Impede Manifestations

    Hey Occulties, Just a brief little article for you on this beautiful September Sunday. So I frequently get questions regarding why this or that isn’t manifesting, and as you guessed, nine times out of ten (if not closer to 49 times out of 50,) it’s lust for results. We’ve been over lust for results so…

  • Cat Rants about Freebie Abusing Jerks, Prices, and People Who Find It Acceptable to Ask for Someone to Devote Hours of Time for No Reward Whatsoever to Give them a Customized Spell to Cast

    Hey Occulties, Since I basically started this blog 17 years ago to just speak about common misconceptions and errors regarding spellcasting, the occult, and the paranormal which I saw people making on now defunct chat groups (it was really more to entertain myself than anything else….little did I know what it would become,) it seems…

  • For Continuous Prosperity – Money Tree

    Hey there Occulties, When we think of money spells, many of us falsely think of big lottery wins like winning a Powerball jackpot. This, firstly, would be a gambling spell, and secondly would be a very stupid manner of using a gambling spell as the odds are terrible. Gambling spells are best used when you're…

  • Common Misunderstandings

    Hey Occulties, Just a note that all previous promotions/sales are ended, so if you didn't get in on that, you can't get the discount. Today I'd like to take a stand for my fellow occult-authors, occultists-for-hire, and psychics…because a lot of you lack the insight into our job, and while some people are just too…

  • Uncrossing Stuffs

    Good Morning, Occulties, Still, at this writing, offering the free reading when you buy a seven day spellcasting. This is also available for "pre-buy" spellwork (meaning, if you want the reading, but are sure you want me to cast a spell later, you may purchase it now, and get the reading free now,) so please…

  • Speeding up the Manifestation (and why that’s often really not your best idea)

    Hello Occulties, Today I'd like to discuss what is often so desired by my readers and clients, – how to speed up your spell manifestation! We've gone over lust for results rather often on my blog (and I basically am the person who has made the occult world decide that's an actual topic apparently, lol,…

  • Some News! :)

    Hey Occulties, While I'm glad Merc retro is over for now, it is still in a shadow period (so can still effect everyone,) til the 26th of this month. Ugh. Mercury retrograded all over me, so I hope everyone is doing a touch better.  A few business-based things: I'm still playing catch up with some…

  • The Rat-Skull Experiment – a humorous outcome

    Hey there occulties, Have you ever dealt with a situation where you knew someone was talking badly, but you just couldn't quite pinpoint who? A few years have passed since this experiment, but needless to say, it worked, – and quite quickly.  A little background is needed… I was acquainted with a person who would…
