“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.

  • Getting a Love/Recon Target to Reach Out

    Hey Occulties, Back to our favorite topic. 🙂 It's been a long few weeks for me over here – I got a new stalker who was mad that I said if she didn't want to follow the terms of service, I wasn't going to accept her business, but the best of luck…she's now threatening me…

  • Get a Job, Get Some Money

    Hey Kids, I've a few projects in the works (one of which is a mega-size book), which is probably a pretty substantial amount of work to give myself right now, after the last 2ish months (I still look a bit like a pirate from the cellulitis, but am healing nicely,) but I wanted to make…

  • That Conversation about Maintenance you Probably Didn’t Want to Have

    Hey there my lovies, So, as it happens, many of my readers come here to find that one spell to do that one thing so that they never need to use spellwork again. And you know what? That's OK. I'm totally fine with that. Sometimes you just need that one thing and only that one…

  • The Best Tool

    Hey there Occulties, So, in keeping with what I was saying yesterday, – the greatest tool in any spell is the person casting that spell, – I'd like to expand on that. We've all heard "practice makes perfect," and if there is one thing I see in today's society with growing frequency is this idea…

  • A Word about Tools

    Hey Occulties, While it's still a few weeks off until I start, I'm going to be giving my publisher a manuscript relatively soon, so another book is a-coming. 🙂 Basically, I just need to get my (brand new) laptop fixed. Yes, I'm apparently somehow mystically incapable of treating anything with a touch screen well for…

  • Getting Results when you’re Obsessed with the Situation

    Hey Occulties, I had a boatload of other articles to post but this is the theme that keeps haunting my inbox, so might as well get through with this first. 😉 For starters, I'm not judging….I've definitely had my own "Cat can't let go" moments just like the rest of you have. When something is…

  • Brief House Cleansing Tips, Psalm to Improve Finances, and a Hat Tip to St Expedite

    Hey everyone, Not surprisingly, more than one of my readers has remarked that he or she is dealing with weird financial bullshit. I would have to consult an astrologer here (or maybe NASA) but I've started to wonder if perhaps Mercury exploded or something. It seems many of us are having our share of problems…

  • Spell for Communication

    Hey Occulties, Sorry for the delay on this – hoped to have it up yesterday. 😛 With all the crazy stuff over here on my end (trying to switch hosts for my site, future Mr NinjaCat needs travel money BADLY to see his father who is having surgery, scrambling after payments to that end, trying…

  • I wanted to write out another spell article, but then this stuff kept happening…

    Hey Occulties, So, a lot of you seem to be having similar issues, which the number one most-common is, not-at-all-surprisingly, LUST FOR RESULTS, aka thinking a spell to death, aka obsessing about the situation and/or people involved so much that you are destroying your spell's ability to manifest. I go over this a lot in…

  • Obsession/Intranquility Work – a few myths dispelled

    Hey there Occulties, I realize it's been awhile and I didn't want you to think I'm neglecting you. 🙂 Don't have time for much but a fast discussion on obsession and intranquility work. I'm pretty behind on some business replies and I feel like I'm cheating on my clients by writing this out. 😉 A…
