“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.

  • Fire Fund Thanks and Degenerate Piece of Crap Jennifer Lindstrom

    So, I have actually raised about $1150 total (most came through PayPal and Google Wallet) and that was definitely a wage for this week which, honestly, you guys gave even more than I hoped for. Thanks so much everyone! If you sent via GoFundMe, as I'd said RIGHT ON THE FUNDRAISER (which I can't figure…

  • I Now Belong to the Housefire Club

    Hey, I wanted to put this on my announcements on my business site, as I didn’t feel the need to share with all the world, but of course that abominable hosting company I use is not working properly. So, here it is. There was a housefire last night at my house. Everyone is fine. Please STOP…

    Hey everyone, As many of you know, I LOVE David Bowie…I've been listening to his music for longer than many of you have been alive, and I'm not even that old, I've been a fan since Labyrinth (hey, I was like 4 or something, haha, so it wasn't the cod-piece…yet,) and his death is felt…

  • Wall of Shame: Collections from Anonymous Jerks and People I Am Nice Enough to Hide Their Identities for Them

    Collected 2/3/15 – being the THIRD of these I received in ten years (do the math, I get a psycho like this once every three years or so, lol,) this person made me to decide to change comments to make it even harder to be anonymous. 😛 A new comment from “Anonymous” was received on…
