“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.

  • “Quick Advice/Clarification” vs Spell-Coaching

    Hey everyone, Since this has been an increasing problem over the years… I do not give substitutions for items you can’t locate (or refuse to try on your own to locate,) nor do I give substitutions for actions you can’t take. The substitution for anything you can’t find or any action you can’t take is…

    Hey Occulties, While writing your money spell (writing takes me a looooong time, and right now is no exception, heh) I received an email that was very very very nice, and thanked me for all of the hard work I’ve put in on my blog, and how a recent article helped them with an issue…

  • 12 Lessons for the Sorcerer from Breaking Bad

    Re-blogging Jason Miller’s wonderful instructive post which uses Breaking Bad as a model for being a better sorcerer/magician/spellcaster/whatever-term-you-prefer. No no, he’s not talking about magical crystal meth production, hahaha, but actual magic. 😉 It’s a very good read and comes highly recommended.

  • Good Reading! :D

    Hi All, I recommended this article a few years back, and, since I’m aware if it isn’t screaming “LOVE!” or “REVENGE” or “IT BRINGS BACK YOUR EX!” most of you will ignore it, heh. 😉 However the information it contains could actually assist you in any of those three things (if you’re having someone else…

  • Article on Warnock’s Blog

    Christopher Warnock gives a really nice description on why spells don’t work sometimes. I am not in agreement with it 100%, but I’m thinking a 97.5% agreement means it’s more than good enough to share. 🙂 http://renaissance-astrology.blogspot.com/2012/08/sometimes-magic-works-sometimes-it.html
