“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.

  • That Old VD Lecture

    Hey kids, So as many of you know (and some of you don't,) I don't practice St Valentine's Day (despite it being an actual saint day, and myself being Catholic,) and this isn't for spiritual reasons, – it's because every few years, (throughout my life) I have had a really really really really bad February…

  • Hurricane Update and More

    Hey all, Since so many of you check in here for news, I decided to post here. So, I did survive Hurricane Sandy. There was a power outage and the net was spotty yesterday so it was sort of like a forced vacation day for me. 😉 I did get spells done, but sadly it…

  • A Fresh Coat of Paint

    Hey readers, As some of you may have guessed I’m trying to brighten up the old NinjaCat residence over here. 😛 This may lead to a bit of an even worse disorganization problem, so please be patient with me for the next week or so. It’s not major construction, it really is just a few…

Yeah I never use my real name, and no stealing that one, it is my rockstar name and has been since before some…

  • This IS an Occult Blog NOT the Saint Blog

    Dear Ones, While I completely and entirely defend your right to your religious beliefs, do not get in my comments to write gigantic religious essays, sometimes even to repeat things I said in my post or covered in another post. This is a spellcasting blog. An occultey blog. A hoodoo blog. A blog that sometimes…

  • A Few Very Overdue Acknowledgements and Postings

    Hi Occulties, First, I’d like to apologize for my lack of publishing, a common complaint about me for a bit over a year. It has taken some discussion with friends to realize my real aversion in posting much about reconciliation is one can only discuss that sort of spellwork and that problem so many hours…

  • Things I Need Other Than a Day Off and a Secretary ;)

    Hey everyone, First things first… It’s been relatively quiet on the Hoodoo For Everyone board and I mostly blame myself. I got super busy and then got locked out of my own forum and then got annoyed at that fact (I didn’t remember my password,) and neglected my forum for like 3 months this summer.…

  • I (Mostly) Fixed It

    So, the PC is mostly working. I still have to reinstall some non-essential programs, but it’s mostly fixed. Now to get to all the emails people have sent me, and to get rid of those people who got the bad idea to start nagging me over not getting a reply to an email they sent…

  • And Now For Some Computer Trouble **Updated**

    Just when I thought I wasn’t busy enough or things were not awesome enough, my PC decided to get sick. 😛 I’ve been anti-virusing this thing since about 10am. Please be patient while I try to knock some sense into this bastard of a PC. 😉 I am hoping I will have it running at…as…
