“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.

  • Refresher on Lust for Results

    Hey Occulties,  Looking like it's review time, since I'm getting a lot of this stuff in my inbox.  So loosely, lust for results is obsessing about your situation you're working on, the people involved, the spellwork, – basically obsessing about that situation, the people, or the work (and I mean its past, present, or future,…

  • Done Moving!

    Hey everyone, I’ve completed the moving process as of last night. Readings, consultations, spells and everything are all back to their regular availability and prices!  ~Cat

  • Moving and Bullsh*t Related There-to

    Hey kids, After months of not really having a solid address thanks to the situation created by AirBnB's in my area, we finally have settled in somewhere. As I'm sure some of you are like "Wait, haven't you been moving since July?" The answer is yes we have, and yes it's taken us this much…

  • Winter Is Coming

    Hey everyone, While I'm not entirely surprised with the global economy as it is, it would seem that the dead season has come early. Allow me to explain what I mean. Most years of my business, the time between Thanksgiving (the last Thursday in November, usually,) and about Martin Luther King day (the second Monday…

  • Why Spells Technically Never Backfire

    Hey Occulties, while still a less obnoxious term than the unfortunate “baby witch” that some very Lolita-wannabe neophyte spellcasters use, this annoying phrase is one often used to describe something manifesting in an undesirable way (example – you ask for a great deal of money and your house burns down prompting the insurance company to…

  • Cat Rants about the state of real estate, payments, emails and more

    Hey kids,  Remember when I told you to check your spam for my reply and you didn’t. Then you realized I had been replying all along? Please do that now. Also I had an email problem for like ten days that I would have too many emails (10k) and not clogged disk space as I…

  • Happy 2022

    Hey Occulties, Welcome to 2022. I sure am happy to leave 2021 behind – what a nightmare year, and I’m STILL not financially caught up! If you want to hit my gofundme (I’ll link at the bottom,) feel free. I’m still sleeping on a battered futon, so my goal for 2022 is clearly to get…

  • Updates – December 2021 :)

    Hey everyone,  Sorry for the delay in posting. I finally have the internet fixed (it was going in and out) but that does not simplify the huge time-drain which is scheduling readings (such a huge pain in my butt,) so I'm hiring a virtual assistant. This will entirely cut down on the clutter and waste…

  • Cat’s Birthday Message

    Hey Kids, So, after moving away from my old place (I legit lost 90% of my furniture!) last week, getting financially butt-raped by UHaul (because no one helps you move during thanksgiving so I got to pay them for several extra days!) I get to spend my birthday unpacking, cleaning, and having $3 in my…
