Cat’s Rants: Confessions of an Occult Mastermind

Simple Spell to Calm and Sweeten a Person Towards You

November 6, 2022

Hey there Occulties,

Just. what you needed during this Mars retrograde – an easy simple spell to calm someone down and make them more sweet! Remember, of course, spells are not insurance against bad or unhelpful behaviors. If you are behaving negatively or unkindly or inciting arguments and/or upsets, your target will still react and get angry and/or defensive. You need to use this work in conjunction with being on your best behavior. FURTHERMORE, while I've been over this MULTIPLE TIMES on this blog, apologizing repeatedly or begging forgiveness is desperate, annoying, and will get you into a worse position, so please do not couple this spell with that sort of behavior.

Alright, now that we have given the advisories to those deeply in need of them, for the rest of us, this spell works very nicely when things have been a bit curt between you and another and they seem absolutely intent on stirring up fights and being defensive. I prefer working this as a jar spell, so I'll start with that and move on to the non-jar version for those of you who do not like jar spells.

Jar-Spell Version
You will need:
A medium-sized glass jar (old salsa jars are great for this) with a metal lid.
Corn Syrup (Karo) or Honey
Sugar
Poppy seed
Lavender
White Rose petal
Tranquility or Peace Oil (currently if you go to SeraphinStation.com for your condition oils, Miss Karma will be glad to get you all set up with premium Hoodoo condition oils)
Reconciliation oil
Olive leaves or a small piece of olive branch*
A lock of your hair tied in a knot with a lock of the target's hair**
Light blue chime candles

Putting together the jar:
This is best done on a Monday, during the first quarter moon, especially when the moon is in Cancer. Add in your hair knot, about a half cup of sugar, a tablespoon or so of poppy seeds, a tablespoon or so of lavender buds, a tablespoon or so of white rose petals, and about ten olive leaves or about a half tablespoon of olive twigs. If you do not have olive leaves or twigs just skip that part and add 2-3 drops of olive oil to your condition oils later on. Pour in your honey or Karo to fill the jar and seal this tightly with your jar lid. Hold your jar in your hands and envision peace and tranquility and harmony between you and your target. Try to send this intention into your jar. If you do not feel that you can send energy, just sit keeping this image in your minds eye for awhile to help empower the jar. When the jar feels "full" (or when you've meditated on your desired outcome for a few minutes while holding it,) shake it as you repeat SEVEN TIMES the following sentence, "(Targets name,) let there be only peace and kindness between us," and after the seventh time you say this, say "As is my will, so be it!"

Place the jar on your altar (or whichever space you have designated to use,) and anoint a light blue candle with Tranquility and Reconciliation oil (and your olive oil, if needs be) using seven pulls UP (base to wick) to anoint the candle. Light the candle and secure it to the lid of your jar with the drippings. This part is generally ad libbed, meaning you would speak from the heart, and command peace be between you and that the target calms and is receptive to this, but as I know many of my readers might fumble there, having little to no practice in proper speech in a spellcasting you, might use the following: "(Target's full name,) we are now at peace and avoid all argument, and all contention and only forgiveness and sweetness flows between us. Let us heal and return to love and kindness, as is my will, so be it!" Allow the candle to burn out, and clear off any wax drippings once it has. A candle should be burned on this jar every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday until the target has calmed down and you feel there is no longer any animosity between you and them.

Candle-Spell Version
You will need
A light blue candle
Sugar
Poppy seed
Lavender
White Rose petal
Olive leaves or branch*
A lock of hair tied in a knot with the targets hair**
Tranquility oil
Reconciliation oil
A scrap of paper with all edges torn – not ripped – off
A green- or blue- inked pen
A pie plate or cake tin or similar fire proof container
Sand

This spell is best worked on a Monday in the first quarter of the moon, especially when the moon is in Cancer.

Fill your pie plate or cake tin with sand. Place this on your altar.

Start by inscribing your name paper using your green-inked (or blue-inked) pen as so – write the target's name out 7 times, so in this example we will use Jason Momoa because I'm not fighting with him but he's hot so… I would write it like this
Jason Momoa
Jason Momoa
Jason Momoa
Jason Momoa
Jason Momoa
Jason Momoa
Jason Momoa

Then turn this so that these names are running vertically and write your or the petitioner's name across these in the same fashion horizontally seven times, so that it forms a sort of grid (If you're curious it looks a bit like this but your or the petitioner's name would replace "command"):

Now write, in a circle around the names, (it's okay if it's not a perfect round circle) "peace between us" repeating this as many times as needed to make a circle. Now spit in the center of your paper, add your hair knot and sprinkle a little of your herbs and sugar into the center of the paper, then fold in half once towards you, turn the paper and fold it once more TOWARDS you to quarter the paper.

Now set this under your dish of sand.

Anoint your candle with seven pulls up (base to wick) of using your oils (add olive oil if needed) and hold the candle for a few moments envisioning you and your target (or the petitioner and target) happy, and at peace with each other. Try to send this image into the candle. If you do not feel you can send energy, just hold the anointed candle and picture this for a few moments. Now sprinkle some of your herb/sugar mixture on to the candle to coat it. What I do which is easier for me, is I use old scrap paper and place the herbs on it and roll the candle in it. You can as well. Place the candle into the sand so that it won't tip over.

Light the candle, and keeping the image of yourself and the target (or the petitioner and target) at peace with each other in your mind's eye, say "(Target's Full name) I bring peace and kindness between you and (Name of petitioner,) and drive from you any animosity or anger. From this moment forward you shall be sweet towards them. From this moment forward you seek only to be at peace. I drive conflict away. I drive anger away. Only love and only peace between (target) and (petitioner,) as is my will, so be it!" Allow the candle to burn out. When it has, take the name paper and hide it somewhere near the front entry to your home. If you live in an apartment this is the door that enters to your apartment, not the hallway to your apartment.

I'm sure there will be questions so you can find me at the usual place. 🙂

*I have, in a real pinch, poured a bit of olive oil in, but felt it didn't do anything. So, the next time, still suffering from lack of olive leaves and/or branch, I tried putting a few drops of olive oil on the candles with the other oils and it worked better, but I still feel the superior version is working this with the olive leaves in the jar.

**I get very annoyed by being whined to that this person doesn't have hair any length you can get a lock of it. Look, as a person who has been capable of getting a beard whisker left in my sink and tying it in a knot with some of my hair using tweezers, you can guess about how much sympathy I have for such matters. So…I'm sure you can figure it out. Worst case scenario, tie your hair and and a used band aid with blood from your target together in a knot. The tedium of having to think up solutions for people who clearly never learned problem-solving skills for having grown up with a thing like Google being ever-present in their lives has finally gotten to me, and I think it's time some of you young-uns actually learned PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS rather than expecting someone else to give you a solution as if the internet suddenly fails one day, everyone 30 and under will be dead in a week if you don't learn said skills. So, no time like the present – if you email me asking for a substitution, please know, I'll just tell you to figure it out on your own – that is, if I reply at all to that question. Your brain needs exercise and unfortunately I can't warp you back 30 years ago to when you couldn't just get in contact with anyone instantly so you had to hope they might reply to your LETTER YOU SENT with your question – if they even get the letter at all – to answer your questions, so you only asked serious difficult questions if you contacted the person just because it was such a pain in the ass…but we were skinnier and our brains were superior and worked better so…it was better in many ways.
Reminder – The Outcome

November 2, 2022

Hey there my occulties,

So one of the more repetitive and annoying questions in my inbox is "how will this manifest?" And while I understand the desire to know that very answer as I've wondered it myself, the reality is that you will find that out when you get what you asked for, which is one of those annoying facts of doing magic. In fact you can blunt your results or even stop them from manifesting entirely by trying to insist on something manifesting in a particular fashion.

So let's say I want someone to get fired from their job. Alright, so that's pretty straight forward. I have some enemy who I want to lose their job, and I've not specified how or why. But now, let's say I'm insistent that they lose their job for being incompetent at their job…except the thing is, they are not incompetent whatsoever, and are a very detail-oriented person with a perfectionism streak who is not known for making mistakes. Now I've made that spell much harder to manifest. If I didn't insist how or why the person lost their job, there are many many many reasons that they might. But if I insist in manifest in a particular fashion, this can create a need for a huge amount of energy for a particular action to happen.

Or let's say I want my ex to come back, and then I list a few things that he must also feel or experience or do to come back to me. This is also going to be a similar energy draining working and there's so many reasons it could fail instead of just "me and my ex get back together."

So, when you ask me why is this happening or what does that happen, – and I've been in your shoes where I was like "what in the actual fuck is this? I didn't spellcast for this," only to have that very opposite seeming situation blossom into what I'd spellcasted for – I might give you some advice to just hang in there, or don't worry…because what is obsessive worrying? It's lust for results. And so I try to stop you from this as best as possible….more than one of you seem to get this, and like I said, I understand how upsetting it is when you have something seem to go backwards right before it manifests as you would like it to, which is why I try to remind you gently that there are any number of reasons that don't even have a thing to do with you or the spellwork which may have caused the situation, and that it can come through sometimes in odd ways….

But this is also why I might seem vague when you ask me how something might manifest, or if I seem a bit annoyed when you insist someone come back in a particular way. You can suggest how or why something happens, but when you do, you can mow down your success rates a great deal. Of course, you should request what you want, but remember, some particular aspects may be more difficult for you to manifest.

So let's go back to the example of me wanting someone to lose their job. I want this fictional victim to lose their job because of incompetence but stipulate nothing else. Well, alright, this is still doable, even if more difficult than just making them lose their job. Now I add in that I want everyone to know that it was because of their incompetence, (presumably everyone in the work place? Or is it like something comes out in the news?) Now I've made this even more hard to manifest. With every caveat added, I make it harder to manifest.

Back to wanting that ex back. Let's say I want him to think of me all of the time. OK, that's doable even though it might be unneeded depending on how the spell manifests and it might even be unhelpful (he may be very angry still and it may stall the manifestation,) and then I say I also want him to not even be able to think of other women…well, now he might need some sort of brain damage to 100% not think of any other woman on this planet (and I sure bet his mom isn't going to like that,) and then I say no matter what the cost I also want this man (who is fictional and I just made up, but is also a sworn bachelor for life,) to marry me. Well, now the only way this spell will manifest is brain damage. 😉 See, the more we add, the harder it is to make it happen.

This is why I tell you when you're spellcasting for yourself, keep it simple. Be direct, be brief, cut off the excess you don't need. But when you're the petitioner and NOT the spellcaster, adding in ten thousand things or worrying about little trivial problems can be very similar. You're moving the energy all over the place with your worrying on the how and the why it's going to happen, trying to guess how it will, and the reality is we need to be direct, we need a clear goal in mind (so that the requested thing manifests in your life, not the path to that, just that the thing comes,) and then we need to let it happen to know how and why it did. I know it's hard to retain that focus when things feel like they are going in the opposite direction, but you may be surprised how quickly things start turning around and coming into what you want when you stop focusing so hard on the situation.

Hopefully that's some help.

The Sphere of Availability

October 26, 2022

Good Evening, Occulties,

I'm sure I've gone over this in here before, but having written this blog for almost 20 years, it no doubt deserves a review.

Think about where you are sitting or standing this very moment. Imagine that, if you are sitting, that your butt is glued to this spot and you cant scoot or get up. If you are standing, imagine your feet are glued to the spot they are on, and will not move. Now, look at what is in reach of you, – what you can grab or access. I'm sure if you really tried, you could even get a bit father than you think from this one spot. So, this would be, were you really stuck, your physical sphere of availability, with you being stationary, and anywhere in. rough sphere being in your reach, being what is available to you.

Of course, the etheric world has slightly different physics. So when we speak of the sphere of availability in a magical sense, we mean what you can expect magic to bring to you, within the confines of realistic expectation. I've said this before, but I always wanted to be a singer…however I do not have a melodic singing voice, and I'm tone deaf. Even if I trained my voice, I would be unremarkable at singing as physically, I am not graced with good vocal cords. I would also make a rotten basketball player, – I have very little interest in sports, poor to mediocre hand/eye coordination, and I'm really short. This isn't me being down on myself. If I decided to use magic to make myself an amazing singer or a professional basketball player, I'd be really trying to grab things which are far outside of my sphere of availability. However, I do have strengths… Let's say I decided I wanted to go back to being a graphic designer. I could likely do that with a single spell. This is very likely within my grasp….but I don't know that I could accomplish that without using spellwork – I've been absent from that world for quite some time.

So, let's go back to the example of being glued in place. Our material sphere of availability is only that which we can reach here. Similarly, without magic, we can usually grasp only things we expect or believe are within reach. This isn't to suggest you shouldn't take chances and try to get things you feel are out of reach, but merely to say that if I know I have all the proper talents and credentials to fill a particular job, I will be far more likely to apply for that job, and even get that job. If I've never learned anything about rocket science, I probably won't apply to NASA, and if I do, I will likely be rejected. People understand this. When we reach outside of what we KNOW we can receive we don't reach too far usually. I might have worked at a job so long that when the manager leaves, I feel I should be next in line for manager, for example, despite only having worked as a sales associate, and therefore apply for manager. I do not likely apply for a CEO position, or, if I do, there is a strong likelihood I won't get that position.

Now most people get this. We understand reaching just a bit outside of what we know or trust that we can accomplish can bring us great rewards, but most of us do not reach so far outside of that where it is almost sure that we will fail. This would be similar to, in our "glued to the chair or floor" example to trying to reach over and touch a house two cities away from where we are to go that far outside of our sphere. No amount of belief would make this physically possible, or at least we all can agree, it's hugely improbable to the point of being mostly impossible. But what if I suggested you could grab an item which was thirty feet away from you. Now if you're glued to this spot, you'd say this is very much not possible, but with magic, we can reach farther than what is within our grasp. So now you can stretch a fair amount past what you might expect…if your expectations are realistic to begin with. So while you might, in our glued to the spot example, be able to reach 30 feet away even glued to that spot, you still aren't going to reach 2 cities away. So with spells, you might try to make more money by making more sales or getting a raise, vs unrealistically trying to win a lottery with odds so poor, you're more likely to be struck by lightning three times.

In fact, if you are willing to take STEPS to get something you want (how dare I say such a thing in the age of instant gratification!?) you can reach well past your current sphere of availability's limits. The limits on our sphere of availability are static and can change and grow, but so many people want things so well outside of that sphere, that they believe magic will make someone without a high school degree into a famous surgeon tomorrow because they lit a candle once. This is not so. 😛 Magic could help you with the required tests, (you still will have to take them,) and help you through school but you still need the credentials and experience and it's not going to be one spell. :/

That aside, it's trying to reach just past what you comfortably are sure you will receive wherein the best successes are found. So don't limit yourself too much, just keep your expectations realistic. The more you work spells, the stronger you become at working spells and you will have far greater power to achieve goals which were once well outside of your ability and your sphere of availability.

Hope that was educational. I will try to post a few new spell articles in the next few days, as I know I've been slacking on those kinds of posts lately.

Questions You’ve Asked Me, October 2022 Edition

October 22, 2022

Hey Occulties,

It's that time on Cat's Rants where I answer questions you've asked me in the last few months. 🙂

Q: Can you explain the phrase "To know, to dare, to will and to keep silent"?

A: Surely. The phrase is basically instructive on how to successfully spellcast. First you have "To know," which you must learn magic in general, meaning either someone gives you a spell, or you know the properties of roots, and herbs, and dirts, etc, and how to put them together to create a spell and use it. To dare to me is out of order here, but in this context it means that you have the cajones to put this knowledge into practice, – that is, to cast the spell. To will is the focus, that is, to will what you want into existence by use of magic and your own internal strength of will, and/or using your will to command spirits to carry out your wishes. To keep silent is to say don't go blabbing to everyone what you've done, as they will take away from the strength of your spell, and back when this was originally written, maybe it would mean your life would be a lot safer since people didn't take too kindly to spellcastin' then.

I think it should be to know, to will, to dare, and to keep silent, because I think "to dare" should apply to not give into panic or fear during the manifestation phase. I suppose it still could mean that, albeit I don't believe it was the intention of the original author.

Q: You haven't replied to my chat/PM/text!?

A: Try email. I tend to drop threads otherwise. My friends and loved ones will all tell you that I'm absolutely atrocious to try and reach when it comes to texts or calls, and frankly, other than future Mr NinjaCat, I probably communicate with some of my clients more than I do with my family or closest friends. So, if email is the one sure fire way to get ahold of me, and people I love don't hear back from me when they text, the simple answer is try email.

I receive ZERO ALERTS for any chat service like whatsapp or FB or Reddit chats.

For faster response, DO NOT get on my case over an email under five business days old. I don't respond well to ANYONE (friends, loved ones, businesses I use, or clients) hounding me. I've literally ended decades long friendships over someone stalking my phone.

I do want to get a reply to everyone, but the absolutely ridiculous behaviors I endure when it's taken all of 48 hours (and usually on my days off) having passed before I can reply get to me would be off putting to anyone, and plus, much to the annoyance of all, I'm wired to ignore you and avoid you if you won't stop crowding me and blowing up my phone, and I have to fight that urge on the daily just to deal with the more slightly needy people on my client list. ;)

Furthermore, some of the requests I get are downright unintentionally rude and ignorant to expect of me. For example, some people expect me to write out the spells I'm using like I would here on my blog because they are "just curious," and to do this for free. I actually sell that service – I'll write out a customized spell for you if you would like to pay me to do so. It's apt to take me a few hours so I would expect my hourly pay. And keep in mind, any attempt to explain magic to someone who has basically zero understanding about spells is a bit like trying to explain a smart phone to a caveman, which means what I could explain to another spellcaster in 1 minute is THREE HOURS OF UNENDING DISCUSSION with a neophyte explaining topics so very elementary to most spellcasters that it's a bit like you have to explain just how that phone even illuminates to a caveperson, whilst also explaining electricity, and now how we get electricity. Imagine having to explain many modern items we use to someone who's just barely discovering the wheel. Now you know what it's like explaining the simplest concepts to someone who really knows nothing about magic, and if they do know stuff, it's often misinformation as well (because tiktok witches exist.) I know very little about brain surgery, but you can bet I'm not going to sit down with a very expensive brain surgeon and ask exactly how their scalpels and bone saws are made then ask why they prefer that brand and then pretend to know about the brain on their level only to then seem surprised when they tell me it's not actually made out of jello like someone on tiktok told me it was, but apparently several people on my client list would because comparatively this is what some of them do to me. It's not like I'm desiring to gatekeep….it's more that I have several other clients, and can't spend a few hours a day every day on just one or two people. My blog is great for educating you on simple concepts and spells you can use yourself.

And keep in mind, I do have a life outside of work when I can find a few hours to enjoy a life outside of work. I take the weekends away from correspondence if at all possible.

Sad that this is really not an on-topic question but despite having stated this frequently, I have to post it here.

Q: Why do you do control spells on Thursday? I read on (insert site or app name) that Tuesday and Saturday are for control.

A: It depends on my reasoning for the controlling work, but I will honestly say that I do not often use Tuesday for controlling work. Keep in mind, Tuesday is ruled by Mars, so unless I am attacking someone, I find it makes the target too defensive when they respond to the work. They may do what you want, but will be all bitchy about it. I use Saturday for darker kinds of control (Saturn can be used to bind someone to do a thing,) or for when someone was already obligated or contracted to do a thing they are not doing, and Thursday is my most magnanimous day for control, so let's say if I wanted a boss to promote me, I find Thursday (ruled by Jupiter,) to have the best vibration when I don't want my control work to make the target feel too bossed.

Taking into consideration the influence of each planet day and planet hour is very helpful when working your spells, so as you advance, you will become more and more familiar with the vibration of each day. I find some people prefer certain days to do certain workings which I do not always share the same preference, and yet we are both successful. As long as it falls under the sphere of the planet's influence, it should be workable. So, if you prefer using Tuesday or Saturday to initiate controlling spells, more power to you.

Q: Why do you believe I want a love-drawing spell more than an obsession spell, when I want my love-target to be all gushy and obsessive about me?

A: Because that isn't an obsession spell unless you're planning to not acknowledge the target's desires towards you. Obsession works in a particular manner, whereas acting over-the-top in love and being weird and jealous because the infatuation feels overwhelming is love-drawing. If you've ever gotten just over the top crazy in love with your partner, does it feel the same as the longing and obsessing about you desire to just be near your ex does? Most of us would say it does not feel the same at all, really, though we might say they seem related. Well, obsession work creates the latter sense in your target, not the sense of infatuation.

What's interesting to many people is that obsession is a difficult type of magic to work and many people – even practiced workers, – do it incorrectly. See, obsession needs a point at which the obsession is released, so let's say I want my ex to come back, and so I make him obsess about how losing me is losing his best chance at being happy, so once I forgive him and take him back, the spellwork abruptly ends. It has fulfilled it's purpose. Or let's say a friend owes me money, – I make them obsess about how important it is to pay me back or they may lose our friendship forever. Once the friend pays me back, the spell ends and they don't dwell on the situation anymore. This is why I tell people in a love situation, you will want to do supportive love work, or else the moment you forgive your ex and take them back, the obsession spellwork stops working, and you can find yourself in a delicate situation where the relationship isn't strong enough to stand on it's own and may just fall apart again.

Remember, relationships are living things. If you keep giving them horrible injuries that almost kill them, each time you heal them, they do not come back together as perfect, and eventually, you won't be able to fix the relationship at all, so it's best to avoid emotionally damaging situations as much as possible, as the more damage you put on that relationship, the harder it is for that relationship to function well, spells or no spells.

Q: Some time ago, you said you can tell who is more likely to have success in their spellwork and who is more like to fail. Can you explain that more at length?

A: I can try. I mean there are a few red flags.

People who need me to explain exactly what I believe will happen or what their target feels are often going to have slower manifestations and/or lack results. They should be interested in the outcome, not how it happens, because the outcome is what we are shooting for, and not the how and why it comes to be. The needing to figure out how it could happen is actually a lust for results behavior. No matter how often I discourage this type of thinking, they still often engage in it.

People who ask for a time frame – which, please understand, I do not view as an unfair question, – almost always have slower manifestations. The proper answer to this question is truly "It will take as long as the magic needs to work," but then even if you try to give a ballpark estimate, add at least two weeks if asked this question or if the person seems impatient with any part of the consultation.

Similarly, people who need to know if something is completed and hound me for this information (and please bear in mind, they often contact me virtually at the exact second the amount of time would have passed for the work to be done demanding to know how it went, – and that is no exaggeration) tend to have control issues, social media stalk, and think their work down to nothing. They tend to have less powerful manifestations. This is almost an exaggerated behavior, so I know several people will assume I mean them, and you may have acted out something similar but in a more tame fashion, which is like a cousin to this behavior, and much much much less harmful.

Depressed and morose people – and I mean nearly inconsolable, – have already decided something will not happen, and actually prevent manifestation with their overwhelming negativity at times.

Overplanners also tend to have a hard time getting to manifestation. If they need to plot out everything, they are thinking the work to death.

So, this is why I say to you, just think of spellwork a bit like something you ordered in the mail. You know when it's coming but I guess there is no tracking on this package, so you just have to wait a few weeks and it will be with you – you wouldn't normally dwell on a thing like that, but it might be in the back of your mind. You are not normally trying to figure out what the UPS man ate for breakfast that day or how the traffic is in a city far away where the package may have stopped at on it's transit to you, right? And if you would, you might be in trouble…it's really put the order in and don't over think and it will to you shortly.

Q: Can I use regular candles in place of figural candles as long as they are the proper color?

A: Yes, though you will still want to name and bless each candle so that they are representative of the target. When we burn figural candles we are using that image as an icon for the target, you see, so we bless and dress it in a specific manner to that target. If you work a votive shaped candle as if it were like a human figural and set it as you would a figural, it will work the same. Think of it a bit like a social media account. If I don't have an image that shows me or a cartoon version of me or etc, that does not mean I am not the owner of the account. If you knew me you'd probably know I was running that account, regardless of the profile pic. The figural candle is more like having a profile picture rather than having none….which hopefully makes sense.

Alright, that's it for now. Hope that was informative! :)

Time Frames and Why They Are Often “Wrong”

October 12, 2022

Hey there my Occulties,

I'd wanted to post a spell but judging from the barrage of emails concerning the "why is my time frame three whole days late?" or "Why is the time frame I made up in my head not being met," issue I'm having on my days off, this is what you all get instead. Also SATURDAY AND SUNDAY ARE MY DAYS OFF AS ARE ALL LEGAL USA HOLIDAYS, SO TECHNICALLY WAS NOT EVEN IN THE OFFICE TIL YESTERDAY. *shoots dirty looks around the rant room*'

So, first, we have to understand time is not entirely perceived correctly in the sense of that you and I are 3 dimensional creatures, therefore we have some perception of time (fourth dimension,) but experience it as linear when more and more it is looking as if it is not, it is just our perception. With that in mind, let's say I tell you that tomorrow at exactly 330pm, you will be hit by a bus. By telling you this, you avoid being outside whatsoever at this time and are never hit by this bus. So at the point I told you, this was in front of you, but you altered your path, therefore it did not happen. So this is what happens constantly – by altering our own actions through forewarning, fear, desire, – basically because of information and emotion and even actions which arise from the information received or emotions emoted, – we change the current future in front of us. This is why I say time is not linear, for if it were linear, you would lack free will to change the path.

Many people seem to grasp this – that if we know an unwanted or a wanted event is within our reach, that we can take simple steps to avoid it or to attain it

What is less obvious is that your emotions have energy, and your thoughts have energy. This is not the stupid misused and horribly misunderstood law of attraction you find in pulply "manifest your dreams," books, but the real law of attraction at work. Think of it like an etheric form of physics.

So if you are thinking how sad and miserable you are without your ex, and how you're afraid he or she will never return, and you find yourself anxiously dwelling on how this will never change, you are in fact disrupting spell manifestation of a reconciliation spell. If you are worried you aren't going to get the money to pay that bill on time, you are the one slowing that money spell's manifestation (and that's the one i am nearly always doing to my own self – so I often get stuck paying late fees, hehe.) If you keep worrying your enemy will never get their much deserved comeuppance, you are prolonging the wait on your revenge spell.

I'm sure you see where this is going.

And I understand exactly how you feel. Of course worry is an entirely useless emotion, – it's, in all reality, a damaging and futile practice, – but for reasons I still don't entirely understand it's one that humans still naturally gravitate towards doing to ourselves. Worry is also not the only problematic form of thinking that delays an outcome, and several actions and behaviors can also impede the outcome we desire and/or have been spellcasting towards. Worry can cause panic, which in turn can cause bad behaviors and actions, and it can cause anger when we have no real reason to feel anger towards another. The amount of times per week that I get worried emails discussing how someone was unfriended or unfollowed and how this must be a "bad sign" is not tiny at all, when were it nearly anyone other than the spell target, the person who's super worried probably wouldn't even notice, but in a desperation grasps a social media relationship as having some bearing on reality, so now I get to waste a half hour in the hopes that they won't kill their spellwork.*

Unfortunately, spellwork does work best when you are not anxious, when you do not overthink, when you do not obsess, and when you have some social intelligence. Since the "time frame is not matching with my expectation," when said expectation is not ridiculous (if you expect your spellwork to manifest in a day or two, you have a ridiculous expectation,) is a common complaint, it's really up to you to be HONEST with yourself and ask yourself how often you think on the issue you are working on.

Further, while I understand not everyone is great in social situations, several of you need to understand that apologizing, complaining, or explaining can all be detrimental in love situations. So, as far as apologies – if you have said you're sorry then don't say it again. It's fine to admit fault to someone if you hurt them, but keep in mind that apologies are for the giver more than the receiver in many cases. Furthermore, if the person has told you that they need space, then give it to them. Do not beg or push for attention. Do not complain that they aren't doing enough, and stop explaining yourself. These are all annoying, anxious, and desperate behaviors. They will not endear you to the target – they will repel the target. Instead you need to be calm, collected, and act like you have a life outside of them, and interests outside of them. I know I say this a fair amount, but to attract an ex still requires you to be attractive to them, even with a spell – just like not washing yourself or your clothing for months would make you physically repellant, well, certain behaviors make you emotionally repellant, and until you stop engaging in those behaviors, your target – even under the influence of a spell, – will be avoidant as you are in such a state as to make yourself someone most people would want to avoid. As difficult as it may be, you do need to dust yourself off and get out of the funk…or if you can't, you need to speak to a doctor who can help you through this phase. I am not a free psychiatrist, and while I don't mind giving a little encouragement, if you need my assistance frequently in this respect, I strongly suggest you employ a psychiatrist to see you through this rough patch.

But I've digressed a bit… So, let's get back on topic. As I have said, much to the annoyance of all, the real true answer to "how long will this take to manifest?" is properly "As long as it needs to." It can sometimes be "ballparked" meaning someone might be able to loosely give an idea of how long, but as I've said over and over, I've had a personal target who would take 60 days to the minute almost every time I cast a spell to react to it, and I was neither overthinking, nor worrying, or even anxious about the outcome. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the spellwork, it was just how it hit that particular target. I have also seen targets who reacted emotionally very quickly (so those close to the target or the target themselves later reported as very rapidly feeling the effects to me at some point after the spell had manifested) but did not act on said emotions rapidly whatsoever…therefore from the perspective of the petitioner (me in some cases,) the results felt like they took forever…especially if I was too focused on the situation. :P

I can't tell you how long something will take and always be right. I can tell you that if you're nagging me about a "lack of results" the moment an APPROXIMATED SUGGESTED TIME FRAME would have passed, that you are likely obsessing and delaying the manifestation. Further if you act against the spellwork (and the spellwork is not going to care if you "couldn't help yourself" and had to do something contradictory to it's manifestation,) you may be delaying the manifestation as well. Until you realize that spellwork is not like a vending machine where you make an incredibly specific request that just instantly manifests because you lit a candle once, and does so regardless of your actions (it won't work that way,) then you are going to be disappointed and probably very aggravated by time frames which are almost definitely going to pass by with you still waiting.

Now, can someone "feel out" a time frame? To some extent. So when I work on a person, I have an idea of what they are thinking or feeling like one might understand what another person is thinking or feeling by the expression on their face. This is not an in depth understanding like a reading might give and pre-emptiviely if you ask me about it I will likely put you off because people attach far too much anxiety to whether or not the target is initially resisting (very normal, not a concern,) so don't ask. That said, because of years of experience, and having worked on hundreds if not thousands of targets, I do have a sort of feel for how things will go normally and I am not usually too off on the time frame…until you calculate that I am not the only one who knows what I am doing. That would be neither here nor there if the petitioner did not obsess, become anxious, or had a high social intelligence in many cases, but instead I also need to gauge that and the more anxious and needy the petitioner is, the longer I have to add to my average manifestation time figure.

And before you decide I'm discussing you personally, an example of a high-maintenance and obsessive client of mine in the past was a person who literally demanded twenty-five to forty hours PER WEEK (not including spellwork) of my time with emails to reassure, to explain and re-explain how spells manifest, and to basically act as an on demand therapist. While this is an extreme case, the average spellcasting client takes up about 2-3 hours of my time in total per spell. So the average person does tend to have the average manifestation figure fit their situation. The lowest maintenance clients I have tend to have the average figure fit their situation…but, with some exceptions, the more nervous and anxious a client is, even if I hardly hear from them (I can tell even when I don't, but to be fair 85% of my high maintenance clients are the anxious type) the longer it will take.

So why do time frames change? Actions and behaviors of those knowledgeable about the work can delay and in some cases speed up the approximate time of manifestation estimate.

And again this is not about a particular person. I've had at least 14 people that I can count in the last 6-7 days who waxed prosiac about social media to me, for example.

*I have been blocked, unfriended, unfollowed, unliked and all of that by my current partner merely over mild annoyance or a quick argument and it has had 100% no impact on our relationship, to the degree that sometimes the partner in question (and it's more than one of my partners including the one I have at this writing and those previous to him who have done this to me at this point,) actually has forgotten I am unfriended or unblocked, etc. Why? Because it has no relevance to anything and it's not worth the enormous waste of my time weekly to try to console someone over a non-problem. Why did they stop following? Why unfriend? It's not your business, really but maybe they feel like if they get distance from you they won't think about coming back so much or similar. The fact you noticed in most cases instantly tells me this is going to be a longer wait for you to get results. So for the last time, STOP SPYING ON SOCIAL MEDIA AS YOU ARE JUST PROLONGING YOUR WAIT. If you complain about what's happening on your Insta, your FB, or etc to me, you may have me tell you to stop using social media, or if you annoy me with it enough, I'll tell you exactly what the problem is…and it's that you're obsessively stalking someone using social media and you need to stop.
Yearly Reminder

October 4, 2022

Hey kids,

This is long overdue, so let's get on with it, shall we?

Please check your spam folder before complaining I haven't replied. Furthermore please give me AT LEAST TWO BUSINESS DAYS BEFORE COMPLAINING I HAVE NOT REPLIED. By the terms of service, I actually have FIVE BUSINESS DAYS, so imagine my surprise when i get complaints for a 18 hour reply wait.

PLEASE USE EMAIL ONLY! Using any other chat service or personal message service or site outside of my email comes with a very very high chance I will drop and lose the thread, and frankly if you did not email me, that means you took that risk willingly. I have a lot of clients and need to keep all my correspondence in my inbox, otherwise I start losing replies left and right. I also don't check every site every day, and my phone is almost permanently on do not disturb because it sounds like a robot having an orgy with a tribe of crickets any time I take it off that setting due to all of the people texting and chatting me.

STOP MAKING ME REPHRASE SOMETHING OVER AND OVER JUST BECAUSE YOU DO NOT LIKE THE ANSWER. My answer won't change, and I can rephrase whatever it is in many ways, as you are not the first of your kind and I doubt the last either, so I've dealt with this before.

I DO HAVE BUSINESS HOURS… I realize my clients are all over the world, but it's a lot to handle when people want me up at 1am because that's convenient for them, and then the next person wants time at 5am, and then the next at 10am and so forth. This is why I have business hours, – because I really need to try to have time to do stuff like sleep, and occasionally to hang out with Future Mr NinjaCat and all that jazz. So the next time you ask me if I can talk to you at ten at night (my time) don't be surprised when I say no. Keep in mind, I also don't work on the weekends (I cast spells, but it's my time off from directly dealing with clients outside of emergencies, so I don't do readings and I often don't do replies,) so please respect that it is time off and don't get in a fight with my inbox.

I ALREADY DO NOT MAKE MUCH OF A PROFIT ON SPELLS. For some reason, people don't seem to understand that not only is there a serious cost on supplies, the rent on my spellcasting warehouse (it's a huge storage space, lol,) plus the cost of transportation, electric, and then for my time doing the spell. On top of which a portion of clients do not seem to understand that asking for several free hours of emotional support and encouragement and explaining things over and over and over, means if you were in the least amount high maintenance, theres a chance I didn't even make minimum wage. On the other hand there's also a chance where if you were super high maintenance, I maybe netted pennies on the dollar on your case. This is how I pay my bills, so obviously this is concerning. Please try to reign in overuse of being able to contact me for free and whenever you need to by using this privilege as needed not just because you're bored.

LUST FOR RESULTS IS A VERY REAL PROBLEM – basically this is a form of obsessive anxiety, though fantasizing a lot about the future (which isn't necessarily unpleasant,) can also be a form of lust for results. Basically you need to keep your mind in the PRESENT – try to keep the situation and the people being worked (if applicable) out of your mind, stop worrying, and stop fretting. I find that keeping my mind engaged is the best thing to keep from engaging in lust for results. I do not social media stalk (if you do check up on someone's social media, you're almost guaranteed to be engaging in lust for results,) and that may work for you too, but if it does not, you need to find an answer to calm yourself and redirect your thoughts.

DO NOT POST ABOUT UNMANIFESTED SPELLWORK ON WEBSITES, CHAT GROUPS, ETC! This just hurting your spellwork! You're literally inviting others to think your spellwork to death (lust for results) with you.

AND STOP MAKING A "FAIL BY DATE," or "DEATH CLOCK" TO GET ALL PISSY OVER. Unfortunately time frames are not a solid date. Myriad problems can slow manifestation (usually 95% of the time, it's lust for results,) and if you mark a date and come to me exactly say three weeks after I cast your spell, you created what I term a fail-by date or death clock. Basically, you've put in your mind something to the effect of "This spell has to manifest by October 10th, or it didn't work" which sends the message out to the universe "Make my spell fail on October 10." Instead of keeping a date in mind, try to tell yourself something more like "I should expect manifestation in October." Or "Manifestation should happen in the Autumn." This way your not focusing on a particular date which can actually impede manifestation.

I CAN'T MAKE DECISIONS FOR YOU. Look, it's not up to me if someone is worth it, if you should give up, or what you should do. Truth be told, I deeply dislike about 80% of my clients' love interests and think they are jerks.

LASTLY, THERE IS ONLY ME HERE TO DO THE JOBS OF SEVERAL PEOPLE. Please understand, I'm a human being, I have a life, and sometimes, after working 12 hours listening to people and working spells, I'm exhausted and I just want to have an hour to myself. I live at my job. Some days the only times I am not working, it's because I'm eating, cleaning, cooking, showering, using the bathroom, or asleep. So basically barely caring for myself and my household on top of work work work work work. Do not demand off hours readings, or time with me and then get mad if I say no. If I do, I'm truly busy or I'm burnt out and need an hour or two to myself.

I know that many of you are not trying to get on my case, or trying to be high maintenance, and honestly, if it wasn't over half of my current clients engaging in several of the above behaviors without realizing some not only violate my terms of service, some not only hurt their active spellwork…but they are also delaying responses, costing money, and etc, I figured it was time to remind everyone, that if we all just keep using email and not using my time up to ask if it's okay to bring your dog to the vet when your target lives a mile from your vet (yes, bring your dog to the vet,) business will run smoother, replies will come faster, and if you stop lusting for results you'll even get those results faster.

Ominous Love Spell Warnings

September 21, 2022

Hey Occulties,

You know what annoys me day after day and year after year? This stupid phrase/belief or those near to it:

“I know the dangers of casting love spells on a specific person”

And what are those “dangers?”

Usually some claptrap about “karma” when the only Karma I believe in is Karma Zain (she’s real, known her for like 20 years, even spoken on the phone with her before,) and as for that which you do in this life affecting your next incarnation, I can’t really say as that is religious dogma I don’t share, but I can say that karma has nothing to do with if you do bad things in this life it comes and bites you in the ass in this life…unless you do bad things to Karma Zain because she’s pretty tough and good at spellcasting and she might kick your ass (magically.) So unless the karma you fear in you love spells is the aforementioned Ms Zain, let’s cross that off the list for now.

The next is that the love “created” by the spell will be “cursed.” The problem you may be encountering us that love spells do not make you compatible, nor do they change a jerk to a Prince. So just because someone loves you, it doesn’t change them to a kind or good person, nor does love make a relationship functional. That isn’t a curse. That is either naivety on the part of the petitioner (you must be very young to believe love conquers all, – though it is a powerful force, it doesn’t make people behave right nearly as much as it makes them behave badly,) nor is it entirely a bad thing. If I am not compatible with my partner, it is best we both find a compatible partner otherwise we will find ourselves miserable in our pairing eventually.

In fact the whole “reconciliation spells never work,” is a stupid idea promoted by people incapable of responsibility for their own actions (so they engage in the same behaviors which ended the relationship before,) and/or introspection and acceptance (so they can’t accept it was not compatible to begin with and continually pull back their ex over and over in a desperate attempt to keep them borne of possessiveness and not love.) Reconciliation spells have saved a great deal of relationships, but it still required work to avoid the same mistakes that broke the couple up so that the relationship remained functional.

Love spells do not create hate or disdain. This is nearly always the petitioner acting against their spellwork albeit unintentionally. The spell is cast and the petitioner acts desperate and scary and crazy. Love spells cannot change that you are socially inept if you are even if you are only made so by the object of your affections. So if you scare your target off demanding love and affection or with huge emotional displays it is you and not a spell who is to blame when, being put off by the smell of desperation, the target goes running in the opposite direction.

Love spells are not magical rape. I might agree that if the intention was just to make random people have sex with you with a wave of your hand this may equate to that. Love spells are made to stir the heart, not the gonads, and are not the same thing as lust spells.

Love spells do not create real love. Love spells can stir up the feelings of love where love exists but in reality a target who does not love you feels infatuated with you when affected if you are working in them to make them feel romantic love. If you do not specify romance, I’ve seen some well meaning people come up with a new best friend out of their target but no romance.

So with all that in mind, what are these dangers and evils associated with love spells outside of a particular religion of about 100 years of age saying they are wrong (and yes Wicca and it’s neo pagan off shoots are where that idea most often comes from)? You need not agree but in 30 years of casting spells I can’t say love spells were some scary deadly force… the worst outcomes tended to be a few people who ended up not being all the petitioner wanted so the curse was telling the target to bugger off when that was realized.

Why Spells Technically Never Backfire

September 19, 2022

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 cut a large check,) reacting unpleasantly to unintentionally mixed energies (example once did a marriage blessing for an old friend on a personal altar forgetting I’d not ritually cleaned it after doing obsession work for a friend – and became obsessed with me and my friend’s history for like a week before I figured out why that was bothering me lol,) or even just not working at all…the reality is…spells can’t literally backfire.

When we use the term backfire we mean taking an action that gives the opposite result we intended it to. So if I cursed you, and suddenly you were blessed and happy and only good things came your way, I would properly feel as if this action had backfired. Well the interesting thing is if you use reflective magic to deflect my curse, while you may not be blessed, the curse may come back and hit me. Again, this is through now fault if your action. So the action you took to curse was not backfiring, as it was properly done, it is that the target had reflective protection. Your target is not blessed by a curse which would then mean it backfired.

A love spell similarly does not make a target hate you. It does not make them more indifferent towards you. The most common problem causing love spell problems is the petitioner’s lust for results and mishandling of a situation. So if you cast a love spell on your ex, than annoy them repeatedly while constantly obsessing on the situation, and your ex seems even more annoyed with you, the problem is you. You are not letting the spell do it’s work while making your situation worse. The spell is either not even started working or you’re killing it’s energy, while simultaneously you are acting against the work.

it’s not wrong to say sometimes you get what you want but not how you want it. So if I cast a love spell on someone only to realize they are an awful, detestable person, and now they won’t stop chasing me, this is also not a spell backfiring. They were always an awful, detestable person. I was unaware when I cast my spell. Now a jerk loves me.

Or perhaps I curse a person only to realize that their misfortune negatively impacts my own fortunes. I can remember an ex wife who despised her ex husband complaining to me when she cursed him now he didn’t have enough money to pay her alimony. That also isn’t backfiring. If your income is from your target, why curse their income and expect less?

Poor action, self-defeating behaviors, and a lack of common sense are not backfiring. Stop blaming the spell for your mistakes. Be an adult, and place the blame for my upon the person who caused your problem. Yourself. Now that you own it, – that you did this to you – you will learn from that mistake and you wont soon repeat it.

However, a spell being reflected back to you via reflective work or it fizzling may not be your fault. It’s not backfiring, but it may require a different solution. Casting your own work means being willing to learn by trial and error. It doesn’t mean go cry in your hat…because you won’t learn anything from that except how to look stupid and most of us know how to look to stupid from an early age, so unless you’re out of practice and feel you need more, pull yourself up by your bootstraps and quit your crying. Crack that reflective protection, clear off the reflected work while you protect yourself from being hit from your own work (and I mean, you got hit by your own work – was it any good? Have any bite? Good! That means you know how to throw some badass spellwork,) and throw again. Spell fizzled? Well if you were sharing pictures on some internet group or something equally stupid to cause that, this time quietly blast your spell and wait for it to manifest like a real spellworker does, and stop acting like an adolescent show off. Or you can’t see a reason? Do it again. Just do it again.

Crying doesn’t get results, complaining is annoying, and practice makes perfect after all.

Spells do what they are supposed to do. When they do not, the problem lies with the spell caster, the petitioner (if not the same person,) or occasionally we all “shoot a bank” here and there for non specific reasons. They do not backfire.

Hope this was educational!

Questions You’ve Asked Me: August 2022 edition

August 12, 2022

Hey occulties!

Here I am back with another edition of Questions You’ve Asked Me – where I supply all the answers to your insightful questions – because…

So let’s remember, I try to avoid answering things like can I turn you into a vampire or will magic make you shoot fireballs out if your eyeballs if you just say the right incantations?

Lets get started:

Q: What do you mean when you say a comfortable target is a harder target to influence?

A: This nearly always pertains to matters of the heart, but sometimes to business situations as well. Basically, if I have no reason to make a change as I am content with the status quo, chances are, no matter how strongly you make me feel loving towards you, nor how strongly you might make me view you as successful and worthy of a good position, i will not change the situation. So, if you and I are in a non-exclusive relationship, and I’m perfectly happy with the arrangement, I am not likely to suggest we make it mutually exclusive because I feel a strong surge of love and lust for you. Rather, if I was pleased with that arrangement, I would be likely to change it only if I feel not doing so would mean loss of the affection or love, ie, discomfort which has been created by a sense of insecurity.

So when we do magic on a situation like this, usually we will want to alter the situation so that the target becomes possessive through the use of obsession work, or the target geeks the status quo has changed by our slightly altering our own behavior towards that target.

Similarly, in a business/success type working, after doing the work to, for example, get a promotion, the petitioner is not only wise to apply for it ask for the promotion, but sometimes to also tactfully alert his or her boss or manager that he or she is also looking at other better paying jobs at other companies, this giving those in a position to give that promotion an incentive so that they will not lose the services of the petitioner.

Uncomfortable people welcome positive change, but if your target is very content with the current status quo, without some discomfort, it’s harder to get that target to make the desired changes.

Q: if you’re so good at magic, why don’t you solve the world’s problems? 🥴

A: I never suggested I was some God-like entity or that your standard adept practitioner of magic would or should claim such power or be given so much. If I were a gifted oncologist, it would be equally ridiculous to believe I should be able to cure every patient’s cancer, plus cure the whole world of cancer, while incapable of getting cancer. Doctors get sick and lawyers have legal issues too… so realistically, being gifted at some skill does not mean you should suddenly possess God like powers… even professional swimmers can drown. Furthermore possessing magical skill does not mean I’ve got a saint like disposition. If I truly had so much power, why not become the richest woman alive and make you all my slaves? Ah because just having great skill has never suggested I’d have that much power.

This tedious stinker has been coming up a lot lately, so despite it being a stupid question, now it’s answered.

Q: Why do some people only cast love spells on Fridays?

A: Friday is ruled by Venus, who is the goddess of love, so, put simply, it is helpful to use the influence of Venus in love spells. However Monday (Moon) and Wednesday (Mercury,) also work very well with love spells. I actually find using a Venus planetary hour on a Monday to be very beneficial for casting reconciliation spells, so just understanding which planets rule each day of the week is helpful, but if you also understand planetary hours (which, believe it or not, there are apps for this now,) you can use both planet’s influences on your spellwork, to help strengthen your spell and give a stronger push towards manifesting your desired outcome.

Q: What beginner misconceptions are your current peeves!?

A: Hmm, my current top five? As of this date in no particular order… The belief that tiktok is going to teach you anything real about magic (I have yet to see it.) The idea that a spell didn’t work when only a few days have passed (they sometimes take weeks to manifest.) That it’s acceptable or encouraged to post images of a non manifested spell to a group or website when you are literally killing your own work (to keep silent about a non manifested spell is paramount to success, and being as that is one of the four tenets of spellcasting, it’s so elementary that it’s shocking how few people know it.) The bizarre increase in people who read a book once or cast one spell and now announce they are the chosen of (insert spirit/god/dead name here) – trust me, it’s very unlikely they will pick you as their chosen what with the fact you’re posturing like an adept but can’t even cast a spell without checking a book over and over and over and over to be sure you even have your days of the week right. That spirit conjure is trendy and by that reason has attracted so many wannabe followers who are creating a weird watered down, homogenized pseudo-conjure fad that is really…ummmmm… yeah it’s not that bad-ass old school stuff but more like if you tried to make an anime aimed at 13 year olds about conjure. Not sure that is a misconception but it’s weird all the same.

Q: will my spell “backfire” if I use the wrong day of the week or moon cycle?

A: Spells don’t backfire in the sense that they do the opposite of their intended purpose, so for starters, stop using “backfire” to describe the issue. But can using the wrong planet day ot hour have an undesirable affect on a spell? Certainly. For example, reconciliation spells should not be begin on a Tuesday as Tuesday is ruled by Mars, the God of War. If you do not mind this advice, you may find the target/s getting in a crazy fight before they reconcile as if that fight is needed to reconcile. So while someone with a limited understanding might refer to that as “backfiring,” the couple still reconciled and that isn’t the case. Or someone looking for a promotion may find by using a Saturn hour or day that their new position requires a large amount of extra duties and obligations, for example. Just because you do not like the contract, however, the promotion being given means the spell did not backfire.

Lunar correspondences when used are helpful but are more dependent on the “growth” or “shrinking” of the moon (how the moon appears to wax or wane) to grow or to lessen an influence. Using the wrong moon cycle may give your working less strength but will often give the impression that the spell “fizzled” more than it had an undesirable impact.

Alright kids, I’ll try to write a part 2 for this months QYAM, but it had been awhile since I wrote up any article at all so I wanted to get something up!! ❤️

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

July 20, 2022

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 believed so just so you know I may never have seen your email in the beginning of July.

This problem was of course complicated by hugely unnecessary threads of “are you sure that you’re sure that you’re sure?” being said daily to me since checking up on me hourly, while entire forbidden in the terms of service of my site, are just the norm for some people, so if you do things like send me 10 emails before my reply because you’re just checking to see if the fact that I have been in business for about twenty years means I’ll disappear on only you, then know that I won’t unless you unintentionally made my inbox hold over 10k emails which then made everyone’s inquiry including yours vaporize and never get delivered.

Them there are late payments because some of you are new and therefore don’t trust me to have me hold it for even an hour while others are just chronically late paying, and yet others outright lie and pay days later than promised leaving me to look like a complete jerk when I can’t pay anyone on time as I can’t pay things with your promises to pay me and normally we have savings enough to cover everyone’s lies and delays with our money but….

We are literally in the middle of the most expensive and strenuous move I have ever in my life experienced. I moved a whole house in less time for less cost. Add to this that my guy has an old chronic health issue flaring and can’t work very much if at all. Add the expense of the illegal overpayments of our last residence. That neither of us own a car and are stranded outside the city right now. Ubers aren’t cheap. Then take into account that my expenses in the last 18 months have quadrupled. Oh and future Mr NinjaCat didn’t pack my laptop cord so typing you out even this rant is 100 times harder because it’s on an iPhone screen.

And be clear here, I’m going to need thousands for our new place because real estate is killing my city (not helping it) by being so expensive that low paying jobs can’t be filled since no one can afford to live near the job on pay so low. Me and future Mr NinjaCat have been foiled by not having $3 more than we have in this or that account this week because we can’t afford an Uber or take out or whatever it is we need… but if we lived where we want (and very little is available,) the cost of settling in means he might have to sell a kidney because I don’t know how else we are going to pay the rents which have tripled in the last 5 years.

so on that note please do your old friend Cat a favor. Pay your invoice, don’t send 200 emails to check up on me every week, and try to keep in mind that I am scheduling as best I can and working like a slave from dawn until mid morning on spells just to keep us afloat while we wait to get into a new place which is horribly overpriced because that’s the current market, and while I love my job, it’s a stressful spot to be in right now, so I’d appreciate it if everyone could cut me just a bit of slack if I can’t schedule you in today or by not emailing me 200 times before I can respond.

thanks!

~Cat
