“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.

    For those of you who remember the REAL Karate Kid, and who are even old enough to know who the heck Ralph Macchio is (this guy was huge when I was in my single digits,) this is absolutely hysterical. From Funny or Die:

  • I Told You I Was Putting On a Contest!!! WIN STUFF BY ENTERING!

    Good Morning, Occulties! So… I told you there was an super-cool contest on the way…and I said that a few weeks ago. I know, you all think I forgot. But no! Here’s the backstory – I know you don’t care, but I’m going to tell it anyhow, and you have to be polite and pretend…

  • Please Help Save Walter

    A friend of mine posted this to her Facebook. I’m passing his story along just in case anyone can make a donation to help Walter the puppy. You know I’m a “dog-person” (I love dogs so much,) but if you aren’t, I ask that you please read the story of Walter and decide for yourself…

  • Instant Classic Email – Spellcasting in Outer-space

    Hey Occulties, Occaisionally I get some pretty funny email (whether or not that is the intention behind it,) so without further ado, a reader had asked me this: Q: Dear Cat, have you ever been in outerspace? I am pretty sure you haven’t, but I wondered – would spells still work if you cast them…

  • This Is Definitely NOT Goofer’s Dust

    Hey everyone… So, I was ROTFLMAO at this… Goofer’s dust is, generally speaking, usually made considerably near to the following formula, regardless of who’s making it (sort of like a meatloaf, there is a basic recipie to follow, though some people do add or take out certain things): Sulphur, graveyard dirt, red pepper, salt, snake…

  • Curiousity Regarding Interest In….

    Hey everyone, I’ve had a few ambitious ideas in mind (several in fact – I wish I had this cool thing known as free time sometimes,) and had thought of putting together a few PDF’s of the blog, namely a love & recon collection, other spells collection (everything but the luv,) and maybe the big…

  • Random, Random, Random

    There are just so many jokes I could say, that I will leave this at I found this in the supermarket (its a real product) and I can’t be the only one thinking these resemble something.

  • Curious and Curiouser….

    Hey all, Here’s a sort of thing that never made sense to me… I only do “office work” or “Desk work” on Monday through Friday, and not on the weekend. I also only offer psychic readings during these weekday times. I do spellcast on the weekend, but insofar as dealing with people goes, the weekend…
