“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.

  • Chime and Revolut

    Hey kids,  while we all know I love CashApp the best as a pay processor, that’s not always an option for everyone, so I have 2 other suggestions.  Chime is offering us both money if I refer you to sign up. It’s a lot like CashApp and Venmo and super convenient, so why the hell…

  • I Hope You Had an Awesome Day

    Hey everyone, I woke up today feeling like I was going to get stuff done and kick the world's ass. Unfortunately, I was misguided, because by about noon, I realized, no, this is definitely second-Monday (when Tuesday becomes a second Monday, and everyone and everything is being difficult, and trying to knock you out of…

  • Personalized “Urns”

    Hey Occulties, I’m a big lover of weird kitschy things I find on the interwebs. I’m not actually dark, goth, emo, or anything like that – nope…I look pretty average – but I do like weird silly things. I’m told this is because I’m from Generation X. I toe that line with the “Millenial” line…

  • LMAO!!

    I just had to post this…because I found it on Facebook and have been laughing at it for 2 days now. 😉 If this is your property and you want me to remove it, I happily will. But if you have this sense of humor and like sharing it, I’m sure all my readers will…

  • For your Amusement – 5 Ways You’re Accidentally Making Everyone Hate You

    I absolutely loved this article, – I’m especially guilty of #2. In the last year or two, I’ve forgotten 3 birthdays (I never forget birthdays,) and replied to 5 different friends I’ve had FOREVER days after being contacted. I’ve no doubt more than one of my friends was quite peeved that I forgot to say…

  • Interview With The Askhole

    Hi Occulties, I’ve seen the meme following around the internet that an askhole is a person who asks your advice and does the opposite anyhow. I get something similar to that in my inbox frequently from a few people…. So I sort of came up with something. Think of it as a play in 1…

  • 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…

  • Something More People Need To Understand

    Hi Occulties, This post may initially be borne of frustration, but I hope it’s helpful. It’s stuff I wish more people think of or realize when dealing with myself and I assume this can be extended to other practitioners. When I began writing this article I asked myself, what seems to be the biggest issues…

  • Sophomoric Rootworker Humor – possibly NSFW?

    So today I was trying to give someone a visual representation of a certain technique, and before I could even finish the set up entirely, I realized I was staring at this: Normally such a thing would not faze me, but for some reason it cracked me up. So…is it true love here between the…

  • The Internet Eye in my Blog Sees All!! (And this amazing power comes standard with my blog!)

    As some of you know, I have been vehemently resisting the “New TypePad,” for much of the summer, and some of my actual absence from writing was not just because I got busy, but also my reaction to being forced onto using their beta platform against my will (they more or less stopped offering the…
