Cat’s Rants: Confessions of an Occult Mastermind

Everything you ever wanted to know about Hoodoo, Rootwork, or the Occult! The internet’s longest running occult blog, established 2004

  • Hey Occulties,

    Did you miss me? I have had the CRAAAAAAAAAZIEST last three months, excluding maybe my second marriage being crazier since second Mr NinjaCat….had problems, as we all know, but the last three months have been like living in a poorly scripted movie at times because I didn't think some of the bizarre situations I have found myself in existed outside of maybe a sitcom or something supposed to be humorous and touching on a cable network because it's not good enough to ever be in a theater. 

    It was this last three months that gave yours truly an epiphany this morning. I have been speaking with my clients as always (because if course, I always have a lot of people to speak to,) and it seems like several are also dealing with some relatively bizarre situations that they too are like "Is this happening? Because I didn't think this shit happened except on really badly written TV shows. It's like I should expect washed up 90's sitcom actors to come out here and be my Uncle Dave as a special guest spot. WTF?" This inspired me to think that perhaps if the the cosmos wants so many of us to question how our lives became so bizarre, that it's time for us all to strike back and use this wave of bizarro energy to create amazing great awesome situations because if it's creating oddly funny and/or just weird and stupid but not necessarily bad situations, that means that same energy can be reworked to have it's special randomness create AMAZING outcomes that should not normally be possible. 

    If you're wondering if I'm high because that made no sense, I certainly am not, but I am not offended you might think so. If that totally made sense to you, then you are probably on the crazy wave of energy causing bizarre changes and the next few articles may be exactly what you need. And if you just like to come here to read what I have to say and you prefer I do the work? Well, you're in luck because I think we will be making some awesome changes through the rest of the month.

    However, for my first offering, I think I need to make a suggestion which is going to benefit basically anyone who tries it. ROADOPENING! This one is super simple, kids, – and it always brings in such positive change and clears out stuff we don't need or want without being troublesome in so doing. 

    So you would get a candle in approximately this shade:

    Pantone

    And some roadopening oil (and I believe there is a recipe on my blog for this if you look,) 
    A scrap of brown paper bag
    An image or personal item from yourself (or your target if applicable.) 

    OK, so this is very easy. Since many of my readers are not at a point in their practice where they understand how to do something like this without chants and commands written for them, I will make a simple one for my beginner-level readers. Those of you with more experience can definitely make the commands and the chant a bit different as you'd like. 

    You anoint the candle by placing a few drops of oil in your right hand, and then starting from the center, you pull towards the wick seven times. Now add a bit more oil to your right hand, and again starting from the center, you now pull down seven times, coating the candle as so. I like to charge my candles as I do this by sending energy through myself into the candle as I envision it's action, in this case, I would see yellow-orange energy scrubbing away all my obstacles, and clearing my path. Place this in a holder, or in some traction sand or if it's free standing just on a heat proof surface. 

    Write the name of the target out five times on the paper bag scrap, then write the command "Break down all obstacles currently holding (me/person's name) back) five times to form a grid like pattern. Place your witness sample/personal item into the center of the paper, and fold this in half towards you, then in half again, towards you, so as to quarter the paper, keeping the witness sample folded within, and place this beneath the candle. 

    Light the candle, and hold both hands up so as to place one on either side of the candle, and say "I call now upon the spirits who open the path to now clear mine of all that which I have cluttered my way for too long, and ask that they bless me with happiness, and good fortune in place of that which they remove. As is my will, so be it!" 

    Now let the candle burn out. When it has, take the remains of the name paper only and hide them by your front door. 

    That is all you have to do! And I'm sure there will be questions so if you have them, you know where to find me! 

    AND if you want me to do a roadopener candle for you, for the rest of June 2022, I will offer this for you for $25. My expert level version of roadopening is more complex than the above, of course, but some people want to learn, others just like me to do the work, heh. Just let me know and I will get it on my altar! :)

  • Good afternoon, Occulties,

    So, as we all know, there is absolutely no reasoning with a person who’s all fired up and angry, right? Telling someone to calm down is about as effective as getting your cat to settle down by throwing a bucket of ice water on it. 

    While giving someone some space, not insisting on having the last word (and the fastest way to get booted out of my virtual office is to always have a reply when you are already in trouble with me, and unsurprisingly that’s probably a big part of your target being angry if you’re that type, so some of you need to learn when to stop talking,) knowing how to apologize and avoiding groveling, bargaining, bad apologies,* OVER apologizing, or over explaining your side is key, this spell should work to calm the person down faster than they normally would calm down. If you really messed up, you will likely have to do something more like reconciliation work (and this can be used in conjunction with that kind of work,) but this works marvelously on targets that take forever to calm down once angered.

    You will need:
    A hair from the target’s head**
    A white floating candle
    Eucalyptus leaves
    Spearmint leaves
    Star Anise
    A large metal bowl
    A pot for boiling
    Water
    A strainer OR a tea ball
    Peace oil or Peace Between Us oil or Tranquility oil
    A nail, pin, or lancet 

    Place about 1/8 cup each of spearmint, eucalyptus leaves, and star anise into a medium boiling pot – if you are using a tea ball, place them into a large tea ball then into the pot.) Yes your regular pots and pans are fine, except avoid using cast iron cookware. Pour in water to start it boiling. Once you reach a rolling boil, reduce the heat to simmering. Stir it SEVEN times, saying the following once per stir (a total of 7 times,) “(Name of target,) calm your mind, and calm your heart, this potion calms you down and quiets your anger.” Now cover this, allow it to boil at least five minutes without meddling with it, and then repeat stirring 7 times with saying the words seven times, then cover again. You will do this every five minutes (or longer if you choose to make the increments between longer,) until you have stirred and chanted a total of 49 times (7×7). Allow this to cool and strain off the herbal mixture, keeping the tea.

    Heat the pin or nail or whatever metal poking implement you have and make a small hole in your floating candle, taking care not to push through. Stuff your witness sample (the hair,) into this hole and seal it with wax (I tend to have an extra “sealing” candle handy for this – just a junk candle I am not using for spellwork on its own, – but you may not,) and as you stuff they witness sample into the hole, you should be envisioning the target’s face, and you say “(Name of target,) hear my words, heed my command, by the grace of Almighty God, amen.”*** Scratch then initials of the target on the candle. Anoint the surface clockwise with a few drops of oil. Place this into your metal bowl, and pour cold water into the bowl until it is about half full. Now put your tea mix into the water. Light your candle and envision your target calm and collected – I like to see a cooling soothing energy pouring from my heart and into the target, and then keeping this in your mind’s eye, say “(Name of Target,) I calm you, I soothe you, I cool you with mint and draw out the flame of anger within you. As the fire from this candle extinguishes when it meets the calm cooling water, so does your anger cease when you again encounter me. As is my will so be it!”

    Allow the candle to burn out. When it has, remove the candle remnants and pour the liquid mixture out of the front entrance of your home. 

    Hope this is what you needed today. Back soon with more!

    *Apologies should be given a singular time. They are for the giver, not the receiver, really, so keep in mind that you are apologizing to admit you recognize your wrong doing, and feel guilt, but this is to relieve some guilt you feel…by offering this apology. This is why over-apologizing is bad. It makes the receiver feel like you are pushing them to relieve you of your burden of guilt when you have already hurt or offended them. You do not deflect responsibility. Remember, apologies with a “but” in them stink. Properly if I had kidnapped your pet penguin and during a high speed chase the bird was arrested for driving without a license (it’s an amazing penguin,) I should say “Gee, I’m sorry I ran off with your penguin. Doing something so crazy is unacceptable, and now that your penguin is in jail, I feel you should know that I’m willing to bail him out, and I want to do so, as long as you’re amenable.” It should not be, “I’m sorry that I ran off with your penguin but he’s so cool, and then I probably should not have him drive but I thought ‘When will I see this again,’ but it’s okay because I’ll bail him out, and you’re totally overreacting.” So, what did you do wrong? Admit that with no deflection of blame, admit it was unacceptable. Say “I hope you can forgive me.” End of apology.

    **Also you can use a small piece of an unwashed hat (the inside part that touches the forehead and crown.) If you can’t get either, then please navigate my blog on your own too see if you have all the ingredients to another spell. The solution IS NOT to ask me repeatedly if something is an acceptable  substitute. You will be ignored. 

    ***As usual, IDGAF what you believe because I’m just happy you are happy with your choice of religion or lack thereof. So you can say “As is my will, so be it,” instead of wanting no religious flavoring to your spellwork.

  • Hey Occulties,

    People often want to know if some event is a “sign,” (the reality is if I cast the spells for the client, I generally get the signs, but they might have indicators of potential manifestation such as hearing via mutual friends that their ex is asking after them,) and when it comes to my work for others, or even them working on their own, they are more often dealing with confirmation bias, and projecting a “sign” where one does not exist. See, when I get any sort of indicators which may be viewed as signs, these come when I am observing and not searching or seeking after any sort of foreknowledge or outcome. I once almost had a client lose her mind on me when I said something like “inert-observation, free of any biased thought, is required to properly indicate when a sign has come, otherwise, generally hindsight and a great deal of experience help to create a better understanding and a gradual ability to better identify what is and isn’t just physics or coincidence, but the indicators of the magic folding into manifested form.” I wasn’t wrong, but she wanted something more like “Sure, client, I’ll give you a list of signs and stuff!” 

    Kids, those list of signs if you ever see one are not anything other than a ploy to sell you more stuff. Like…to some degree understanding how jar candles burn, and burning many of the same color from the same palette and same manufacturer, which you have personally blessed and dressed each…that will make it so you can read candle sign. I’ve burned 2 done up exactly the same for two different people and situations, and one burned clean and the other was slow and mildly sooty, and in that case I can assure you, the clean burning candle was a situation that manifested quickly, and the slower burning one required more effort and was slow to materialize. That said, I’ve had a “black burn” (a the chimney on the candle turns fully opaque black,) that did not represent anything more than my tired self adding too many herbs and oils. As I’d done a run of lights for that person (a several candles – 3 or more to be exact,) and the others didn’t burn black, I wasn’t concerned. BUT, clearly, in my case, I won’t practically pass out from fear and grief if I get a random black burn or sooty burn, and then be inconsolable for weeks as many beginners trying to learn to work for themselves too often are. I won’t freak out because the candle flickered, or another burned really quickly. I’m very aware of the burn time of everything I use, how herbs and each specific oil interacts on a level where I’d notice of it was “off” or unusual, and while I take into account a possible indication of how the manifestation may go, I do not decide something which may merely be a matter of physics is a HUGE SIGN.

    But then I go on social media, and not only do I see “hey group, help think this spell I just did to death with me,” posts, complete with a full discussion of what they are attempting and images of something they have done hours before, (DO NOT SHARE UNMANIFESTED WORKINGS WITH ANYONE, and if you must, keep it to 1-3 people at most!) And the “signs” are that the candle flickered, or that they want everyone to try a Rorschach ink blot test with the drippings (that isn’t how that works, either.)  Then then the newbies, the fluffies, the IRABO tribe (I Read A Book Once,) all chime in and basically think that person’s spell to death, but with like “all positive vibes, here.”

    Ugh. I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but there’s a 19 out of 20, chance, if not closer to a 99 out of 100 chance that what you fear or hope is a sign is not any such thing. 

    Stop seeking signs. You project them where they do not exist.

    Alrighty, I may be getting another article up in the same day, but maybe not. Keep your fingers crossed because the next one isn’t a lecture, haha.

  • Hey Occulties,

    While Im sure there will be repeats from previous editions, here is a brand new questions you’ve asked me…

    Q: I keep looking all over the internet to find conflicting answers on the occult topic I’m curious about. It’s clear several if not most reviews (positive or negative) of the people I’m trying to get the answers from are fake or exaggerated, so I don’t trust those, but I’m also completely new to this topic and don’t know who’s right or who’s wrong. How do I go about learning without getting bullshit answers?

    A: This problem has existed since well before the internet, because there have always been crazies and schemers out there. The crazies are easy to identify after a short time, being as they are usually “born witches,” (this is the same as saying born a brain surgeon and without any training, immediately practicing brain surgery as soon as you have the dexterity to use a scalpel,) coming from several generations of witches, and etc, who then are also generally somewhat young (you can be a real practitioner for hire or an expert spellcaster in your 20’s but this is often a yellow flag, though not at all a red flag,) or are people who cast a spell or two out of a book once and within a year decide they are experts (it takes at least a decade of dedicated study and practice to be expert,) and tell you to cast spells not by learning but by what your gut tells you to do, etc. They are usually, but not always, trying to help, but are sorely misled that they are ready to help, and are in fact, more damaging to beginners and to a rather larger degree than they realize. If you come across a crazy and you are not at least an intermediate learner, just politely ignore them.

    Schemers can be a bit harder to spot. Maybe they frame their occult practice like they are selling some sort of bodybuilding supplement (but even that is a gimmick but not something meaning they are ignorant,) maybe they assure you that you are the victim of a generational curse (you aren’t,) maybe they try to tell you something ridiculous like they can make you ten years younger or help you lose 50 pounds overnight, or will marry a movie star…and all of those schemes are not so hard to see. But the problem is…not all schemers scheme to sell you something, and, so while a real practitioner for hire usually has more work than he or she can handle a fair amount of the time, and also you probably can see if someone is just trying to sell you something, there is the far more insidious schemer…the one who merely wants to convince you of something which isn’t true because they dislike the truth. There are types of spells I know how to do, and they work, and there are those who will, for example, tell you like the intranquil spirit will destroy your love and haunt you, and it won’t. That type is harder to see, but look for overkill on fear-mongering. There are others who are more positive but still trying to sell you on their idea of how things should be, like people who suggest that spirit evocation is super duper easy and even someone wholly new to magic will be about to draw a spirit up on their first try….and you probably won’t.

    So, I do understand the difficulty. Before the internet, we had to buy books, and expensive ones at that, and half to a third were utter nonsense and 2/3 of each book was to teach complete neophytes so it was all review in most cases. Now you can find beginner books and instructional stuff, but 2/3 or more on the internet is young men and women pretending to be witches, schemers, and TikTok stupidity. What is sad is you have access that young people never had to experts…but you’ll probably have to go to Facebook because that’s where all the experts are (because most experts are middle aged or older,) and you might also find a few of us on Reddit or Instagram. And those nifty paper stacks called books are also a good place to start. Look for a respected publishing house and choose from their authors, – this often leads to finding more real knowledge than watching videos online or chewing a ghost pepper and thinking of your ex to burn them (when really, you’re probably just burning yourself.)

    Q: I broke up with my ex last week, and he/she won’t speak to me after a severe argument because I (some terrible action like cheating or lying or stealing, etc,) and I need you to change their mind immediately and return them to me in a week or less. Or is there a spell I could do since I am unwilling to pay anyone’s over $50 and even then would only pay that if they guarantee my ex comes back in a week. Can you help? (This isn’t a real person but get this type of shit weekly.)

    A: First off, no real practitioner will accept this business because you sound like a high maintenance pain in the ass with unrealistic expectations who also expects quite a bit for an unreasonable price. Comparatively, I might tell someone to build me a house for which, – including supplies, labor, and frequent updates included in this price, I expect this all done for $500. The materials alone will cost far more, just like they very well might in a spell for $50, and honestly, I’m not sure I’d write you out a spell to do on your own while refusing to answer any further questions you had after doing so for just $50.

    But let’s say you offer me $500 to take this on. I still may not. You sound like you’ll cost me more than that just in labor. My time, – anyone’s time – is worth being paid for, and I also do not believe any real spellcaster will agree as you expect it in a week. But let’s say you take off the time limit, and rephrase it as “Hello, I broke up with my ex a week ago. We had a huge argument because I (cheated/lied/stole, etc,) and the/she found out and won’t speak to me. I hope with magic I can resolve this problem, and am hoping to do so quickly, if at all possible. Can you let me know the rates and a ball park figure on when it might manifest?” That I might be able to do, and I’m sure most practitioners would ask some questions, then if they felt they could help, they would give you a price and estimated time frame. 01E5327D-A77C-43AB-B88F-11FB39C06930

    But let’s say that you are insistent you have this NOW. The whole what someone for hire thing would do really wasn’t your problem. 🤨 Alright, let’s start with that if you caused a great deal of damage to a relationship, this is comparable to falling off a cliff, and needing lots of physical repair if you are to survive. So, if your leg is broken in ten places, you broke your back, both arms, have a severe concussion, and one of your lungs is deflated, and you’re spleen pierced, some broken ribs…Fix that to 100% perfect as it was before the fall, and do it in a week. 

    “Medical science can’t do that, Cat, and I’d be lucky to even ever return to perfect even if I live!” you say, and then ask, “What does that have to do with magic or my relationship?” Well, a relationship is a living thing. If you broke it badly, it will require time to repair itself, even with treatment (spellwork being a form of treatment,) and if you do not follow the instructions given to you, the treatment may fail. We agree the relationship is broken, but you are not seeing that it is a living thing and needs time to heal and the right treatment to make it as good as new or almost so, and if you did enough damage, it will certainly not be the same as it was before the break, albeit it may still be totally fine and in some cases, be better, though in some it is severely crippled.

    So now you see speed is not likely to help. If I took a broken body fallen off a cliff and attached it to a steel robot frame and made it move, then that body is up and moving and so soon after it’s fall, but I’ll probably kill the person or hurt them worse, which is exactly what speeding reconciliation does to a relationship so badly fractured.

    So, if you want something, you do not dictate a time frame which is not already known (example “the new job I want will be deciding on they hiring on this specific date,” or “I need a new apartment by (specific date,)” or “My court date is:”) and if you hurt this relationship badly enough, you should not expect a speedy resolution as is.

    Lastly, any practitioner worth their salt will tell you if you engage in any further bad behaviors (lying/cheating/stealing, etc,) that it is just going to fall apart again, so you’ll need to work on yourself.

    As you can see, fixing relationships is a lot of work…and $50 might cover an hour of work. If you do for hire, expect it not to be cheap if you need a lot of one on one time speaking with the worker (who is not a free psychiatrist,) or if it is a complex problem, – and if you do it yourself, there will be trial and error, expensive supplies, and paying a therapist or paying for self-help books to help you with that lying or cheating or stealing problem you have.

    Q: I am not able to burn candles. Can I still do spells? 

    A: Yes, though you may be limited in some cases. If it’s a problem of a lease saying no candles, well just do it anyhow and then get rid of the evidence quickly. If it’s because your intrusive parents come into your bedroom because you still live with them, contact me when you move into your own place (because there is a strong chance you are too young for me to discuss anything with you about magic or religion as you’re just a kid.) If it’s a snooping spouse/partner, do it when they aren’t home or rent a space. If it’s a roommate, same thing. Otherwise, look for spells without candles. They do exist.

    Q: I prayed and/or made offerings to (deity/spirit/saint name,) and did not get what I asked for. Why?

    Let’s assume you also told me that you’re not Hellenistic Greek Pagan but are some form of Christian and you said a prayer to Aphrodite to bring your ex back. Having no relationship with this goddess, nothing was received in return. 

    Or let’s say you left an offering to a spirit, – whisky for example – and asked this spirit to bring back your ex. Nothing happened.

    Let’s say you then prayed to St Anthony, even though you’ve never prayed to a saint, and said “St Anthony, since no one else will listen, and you’re just a dead human, maybe you can bring my ex back!” Nothing happened.

    You just did the equivalent of demanding that a world leader grant you a favor even though you never knew them or met them and have no relationship with them, then asked a leader of the underworld – a capo di tutti capo of the world of gangsters and racketeers for a huge favor, and had enough sense to be mildly polite, but having no relationship and having never known this being, you were again ignored. Then you asked someone with say, the power level of maybe a very well known celebrity for a favor – again, not knowing this person and never having any relationship with them, – for a large favor, and were rude. They ignored you too. Why would anyone do you a favor, even if they could, when they have NO RELATIONSHIP to you? They won’t.

    And some spirits won’t even acknowledge you if you try to build a relationship with months of offerings.

    But, if you want any of those beings to help you, build a relationship with them. Offer praise and gifts long before you make any requests of them, and if they recognize you as a devoted follower, you will reap the rewards when you do.

    Q: Will you write out a spell for me to cast on my own and coach me through every step? 

    A: I sell that service so if you pay my rates I will. For free I will just point you here and tell you to find something you like and try it. I will clarify instructions on a post for free, but rarely offer substitutions for any ingredient or action. If you need to get a better idea of a spell on this blog’s best use, link to that spell and give me an idea on the situation you wanted to use it on, and I will reply for free to let you know if it is suitable.

    I worked very long and very hard to get where I am, and I get paid to do my job, and people very happily pay my rates and then return and buy more services from me again and again, so any abusive attempts to get free services will not be honored or responded to. I also won’t do free readings, or counsel you for hours for free on your life’s problems. I do not give free calls, and if you want to speak to me on the phone, that costs $125 per hour paid in advance at this writing. The rate may change. You may never call me unless there is an appointment scheduled and I’ve not let you know I might be 5 mins late, and I am.

    Q: Can I reuse a witness sample in another spell?

    A: No, you shouldn’t, unless you are specifically tasked to do a 2 part spell and are instructed to use that item again in the second part. You alter the energy of the item when you spellcast using it, and it is no longer useable in new spells. For those of you needing a visual, it’s like wiping your butthole after pooping and then using the same tissue to blow your nose in it right after. 🤮 You fundamentally changed that tissue by wiping your poopy bum, right? Well, you’ve fundamentally changed that witness item so, if you wouldn’t reuse a poopy piece of tissue to blow your nose, then don’t reuse your witness samples.

    That’s it for me today, kids. Thanks for reading, and if you have any questions or would like to have me work for you, please contact me.

    Learn more about love and reconciliation spells – including spells you can cast on your own, here.

  • Good Morning Occulties,

    All too often, someone will come to me, and, obviously smitten by another’s looks and/or charm, will say something to the effect of “I am in love with (person,) except that I do not like his/her sense of humor, I want him/her to be more honest, to always be faithful because he/she is known for his/her  philandering, and also I want him/her to be more kind and patient because he/she is rather abrasive.” In other words, you are telling me you very much like physical aspects of this person, perhaps even find them charming company in the short term, but you think that they are kind of a bad person deep down because they cheat, are easy to make angry and hard to reconcile, dishonest, and tell really bad jokes…and frankly, it seems to me that all you really love is the way that person looks.

    Remember the old saying “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover – it’s on the inside which counts,” – well, that’s a very smart saying and you should still mind it. It isn’t that I’ve never found someone perfectly acceptable fodder for stirrings of infatuation, because they are beautiful to behold, generally, but infatuation isn’t love, and it’s all too often confused for it. Once I realize they are, deep down, beneath the surface, incompatible with me, the infatuation quickly fizzles out, and I have moved on easily. Others find this harder to accept as they believe infatuation is love. We can’t really change who someone IS, and by that I mean if you can’t manage to accept a person’s faults, – say they have a quick temper and bear grudges, and they are lazy as well, – and if your own gifts and faults don’t either suitably match with theirs (perhaps you absolutely love looking after others, and are sweet and forgiving which might compliment their personality, or perhaps you are dramatic and prone to fits of crying and just as lazy as they are which would not make a good match,) then without compatible personalities, the love affair will end over and over again, and using magic repeatedly to draw the person back will not make the next time any better.

    And why? You can’t change a person’s “nature,” meaning you can’t change their personality – who they are deep down. You will have a very hard time changing your own as well. It takes years and hard work and policing yourself constantly, – and would you not just prefer to be who you are? There is nothing wrong with trying to- or wanting to- change parts of your nature you dislike. Perhaps you’d like to be less lazy and more active, or to be more social, or that you’d like to learn a skill you have always had a hard time with…but if all of that is opposite to your nature, you will be like a fish trying to learn to walk on land…clearly, one of them did finally which is why I have to pay bills and get sunburns (thanks, evolution, – sheesh!) but being as it was quite contrary to their nature to do so, clearly that one made an astronomical change. So, yes, you could try to change yourself to fit someone else better, but if it really runs quite contrary to who you are, in my experience, most people will become exhausted by trying and will move on to someone else.

    The real problem I find is that someone believes love will positively change a person. So, they go and they throw love magic all over this desired person, forgetting one thing I have been saying to the public for almost 20 years now: 

    JUST BECAUSE YOU MAKE A JERK LOVE YOU, THAT DOESN’T MAKE THEM LESS OF A JERK. NOW YOU JUST HAVE A JERK WHO IS IN LOVE WITH YOU.

    If it is a very difficult and slow and arduous process to alter your own nature, I assure you, the use of magic to change another person’s nature is even more of a difficult process, and you are confused of you think love will make them change. They can love you and be a horrible person simultaneously. Sometimes loving you makes them even more horrible to you….because mental illness, personality disorders, abusive parents, or horrible cultural beliefs or any other sorts of reasons. A love spell will not change a person’s nature. 

    In fact, it’s nearly impossible to change so one’s nature, and trying, as I’ve said, even on yourself is very often something people give up on, but trying it on another is even more exhausting, and all to often after a brief change they will revert right back to being who they are.

    Now you can waste the limited time you have in your body in this lifetime just wasting it chasing a jerk you don’t love past their exterior, or you can accept that this is who they are, and that person isn’t compatible to you, and find someone who will no doubt be just as lovely on the outside while far more compatible with you where it matters (on the inside,) instead.

    Hopefully that made some sense, and was helpful! ❤️

    And yes, new spell article very very soon!

  • Hey kids, 

    So with a first quarter crescent moon, and it being Friday, (then sun is even in Pisces, which is a water sign,) it’s a perfect day for love magic, and I’m certain I’ll be getting lots and lots of love and reconciliation requests for spell work trickling in as the day progresses for that reason, so I figured I’d get an article up before the day has become too busy. 

    Having had some fantabulous news today, I am in a cheery mood (my lack of lecturing is not from me taking a hard hit to the head,) so I think today’s offering will be a nice little spell (which since none of you mind all my smart instructive lectures when you are given them is probably for the best.)

    Many of you come to me insisting that if you just had a conversation with the person you desire, then all would be well and things between you would resume being loving and enjoyable, when in reality, what you really are telling me it’s that if you’re able to have this person be calm and receptive to what you were saying, you might persuade them to be yours or return to you, whichever is suitable. If I just threw you and this loved one in a room right now, you’d both just fuss and argue and make my job (if you’re employing me,) harder, and/or your situation more difficult, though because this person is not interested or desirous of having any such audience with you, so, possibly, you may be wrong to think if you just open up the lines of communication, that all will be well. 

    Instead, I might suggest that you open this person’s mind to your suggestions. And, since jar spells are all the rage at the moment (probably because they are really easy for beginners,) I have something you might try.

    You will need:
    A small jar with a metal lid like a baby food jar
    Poppy seeds
    Licorice root (shredded or powdered,)
    Lavender flower
    Commanding OR controlling oil*
    Come to me oil*
    A packet of PURPLE birthday candles or chime candles (they need to be small, but as chime candles are slightly bigger, you will get more power from a chime candle,)
    Something personal from the target (a hair of the head is best, but any biological witness sample will work,)
    A small piece of paper with all the edges torn off 
    A pen with black or purple ink
    An image of the target.

    Pre-Spell Set up:
    Mix approximately equal parts of your herbal ingredients (licorice, poppy seeds, lavender,) to fill the jar about half way, then add in the item of your target. Fill the jar to the top with approximately equal parts of your remaining herbal mixture. Add in about equal parts of your oils to make the contents of the jar “wet” (not soupy, but almost a paste consistency,) and then seal the jar shut. 19261389-E40E-41C6-8160-76005EC202F3

    This jar can be reused, but remember to dispose of it if it gets moldy. Keep in mind that herbal ingredients can grow mold and if they do, they will create gasses, and the jar may burst. For this reason I strongly recommend storing this in a cool, dark place, inside of storage containers as just a plastic bag can get eaten away by some essential oils.

    Spell:
    Write the target’s name NINE times using the pen described in the you will need section, as so (replacing Jason Momoa’s name with theirs, haha,)

    Jason Momoa
    Jason Momoa
    Jason Momoa
    Jason Momoa
    Jason Momoa
    Jason Momoa
    Jason Momoa
    Jason Momoa
    Jason Momoa

    Now turn the paper so the names are running vertically and write the command across this 9 times horizontally, creating a sort of grid pattern. You of course will use your own command, but for example purposes:

    Desires to know everything Cat is thinking about him
    Desires to know everything Cat is thinking about him
    Desires to know everything Cat is thinking about him
    Desires to know everything Cat is thinking about him
    Desires to know everything Cat is thinking about him
    Desires to know everything Cat is thinking about him
    Desires to know everything Cat is thinking about him
    Desires to know everything Cat is thinking about him
    Desires to know everything Cat is thinking about him

    A proper command is simple, direct, and uses the present tense. Examples are “Listens with interest and responds thoughtfully to (petitioner’s full name,” or “Reads and quickly replies to (full name,)” or even “Responds gently and lovingly to (full name.)” Ridiculous things like they give you all their money or that’s they spontaneously combust if they ever say a mean thing again, etc are not apt to happen. Keep it simple, keep it realistic.

    Once you have finished the name paper, fold this once towards you, and turn and fold in half towards you again, place this on top of the image of your target, and then place the jar on top of the name paper. Now anoint one of your candles with a few drops of each oil, using seven strokes up (base to wick,) while envisioning your target in your minds eye, and if you are good with mental imagery, try too see the target actively interested and open to your suggestions (example, leaning towards you or the petitioner, whichever is the case.) Light the candle, and secure those to your jar lid with a few drippings. Once secured, and while still trying to keep a mental image of your target in your mind’s eye as you speak (sometimes leaving an image of them near you where you can see it is a huge help,) say “(Full name of target,) come to me, do as I say, for the more you try to resist me, the stronger the urge to do as I command you to do becomes. (Target’s name,), I command you to (state command you used,) wand do so lovingly, sweetly, submitting to my will immediately, Nola, now, – so be it!” Let the candle burn out, and then clean the wax off of it, and store to repeat the spell until the target has submitted to your will. 

    The spell is best done on Sunday, Thursday, and Saturday and should be done each of those days continuing until the target submits. However, if the desired end is love, omit Tuesday, and instead use a Thursday, Friday, Saturday schedule.

    This is mild spell so if you aware looking for something more intense, I suggest this instead.

    I’m sure there will be questions, so please ask – and if you want some love or reconciliation work done by me, please let me know ASAP! 😊

  • Hey Occulties,

    Today on Cat’s Rants I’d like to discuss a mistake I see people making frequently…

    Keep It Simple, but Keep It Concise. So often when it comes to revenge or love, I get a novel-length email regarding what EXACTLY should happen, and I mean sometimes it is so exact that the amount of energy required to bring about the desired outcome would be absolutely insane when the petitioner would be just as satisfied with a similar outcome, despite insisting that this person must have these exact motives for coming back (generally that’s a reconciliation spell killer to insist you dictate their motives and not just the return,) or that the most complex series of events must happen to their curse target because they are sure everyone involved will be something that can be controlled as well as that I control their reactions, feelings and thought processes. So, let’s change the spell to something everyone reading understands well (probably, though it is an American thing,): A Turkey Sandwich. Now if you just say Turkey Sandwich, a slice of turkey between two slices of bread with nothing else could be all that comes, or something a bit fancier might arrive. No one knows. You only said turkey sandwich, and so as long as turkey and two slices of bread arrive, you got what you wanted. This is comparable to being vague or general in spellcasting. If I say “I want my ex to come back,” that could be anyone from the kid I “dated” in Kindergarten to my most recent ex, and if any one of them comes back, then the spell worked. But most of us have a clearer idea of what we want, so back to the sandwich, if instead you say, “I want a turkey and Swiss cheese sandwich on rye with mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, and onion, now the server brings you this and for most of us this is perfect. This could be compared to say “I want (specific person,) to come back to me seeking a relationship and for them to be free of any romantic attachments to others,” – so you’re getting the specific person you want and without so many complications. Lastly in our example, we have the overly exact person… They order a turkey sandwich as so: “I want cruelty-free turkey raised with no hormones, which only comes from the breast of a hen, which also has no preservatives and was raised locally, and place this on rye bread which was baked between the hours of 5-6pm yesterday, preferably while the baker was thinking of a specific classic rock song which will remain secret to me. I want house made aioli and not mayonnaise” (they are the same thing,) “which was made within the last 2 hours, and then a thin slice of jarlsburg which was cut from a cheese only first sliced today, then add red romaine lettuce which has been grown in an area no farther than 20 miles from here and where there are many hummingbirds, some red onion grown in Cork county Ireland, and a slice of tomato which was harvested by the hands of a virgin in Nebraska.” That person probably isn’t eating… And if you are overly exact on people’s motives, what they wear, what exact moment happens, etc, you probably won’t have manifestation either.

    Look at it as if you’re the server in the turkey sandwich example… you can put a slice of turkey between two pieces of bread. You have rye bread and Swiss cheese and lettuce and tomatoes and onions and mayonnaise too as it is a restaurant which serves several sandwiches. Even if a turkey on rye isn’t on your menu, all those items are in the kitchen. However, how many people know what the baker was thinking when he baked the bread? Do you know the exact farm or the exact location of every ingredient normally? No, most of us don’t, much less the thoughts of the people working at those farms and bakeries and dairies. So would it be possible for you find out? Most of it you could, to some degree, but by the time you had, the person ordering that complicated sandwich would likely have left several days before.

    When you are overly complex in what you are trying to manifest, a similar issue arises. The spell energy must be gigantic, and then it has to complete every command, which lessens the likelihood of the energy completing that lengthy list before it runs out, and by the time it has done everything you asked (in the off case that it can,) it takes so damn long, you don’t even want it anymore. 

    So, be concise, and keep it simple. 

    Alright, working on a spell article for everyone. Hope that was helpful,

  • Hey Occulties,

    Here I am with the nearly-impossible task of making you a new article – and why is it so? For starters my birds have eaten my computer, to add to this, I am still hugely in debt from moving because people apparently didn't understand that losing tens of thousands of dollars both during and in the aftermath of my marriage to my ex and to the illegal forced move from my former landlord (who is now currently the subject of many news articles documenting his illegal activities, and I hope he's enjoying that,) so I can't get a new computer AND pay all the bills…which additionally was made more difficult on me by the fact that I did a sale that enough of you did not participate in, so I lost a vast amount of supplies at a hugely reduced cost while not making enough to purchase the supplies needed to make it a profitable exchange….so now we are all enjoying "fuck you February," for it. This means there are no deals. None. No sales, no discounts. Sorry, I can't do it this month or probably even next, and to top it off, until I get a computer that works there will be a greatly reduced amount of articles because it literally took me 90 minutes just to get what's left of my computer working well enough to type. :P 

    So back to the topic at hand. We were discussing love spells and so here is one for your consumption…

    The following is to get a non-communicative partner to start being more communicative. You will need:

    A parrot feather (these are available online and at many craft stores,)
    Something which has touched the mouth of the target (a napkin, a piece of toothbrush,) 
    Orange cord or ribbon
    Light  blue cord or ribbon
    Pink cord or ribbon
    Honey
    A small jar or vial
    Tobacco
    Poppyseed

    Braid your three pieces of ribbon or cord together, then wrap these around your parrot feather and item which has touched the mouth of your target, saying 9 times "(Full name of target,) speak to me, tell me everything in your heart and mind, talk to me, tell me all," and when you have said this nine times, and the items are secured together by the braided cord, say, "As is my will, so be it." Be sure to keep your target in your mind's eye as you do this, speaking to you and with the image of them being open and talkative. If you have difficulties with doing this, pick an image of your target from your photos where they look open, happy, and welcoming. For example, you might choose an image of a time you spent with this person when they were outgoing and talkative towards you. Place this image on your workspace, and look at it while you say the chant. Now place the wrapped packet into your vial or jar, adding tobacco and poppyseed, then filling with honey. Cap tightly, and place this item into your right hand. Now shaking the jar vigorously, say "(Full name of target,) every time I shake this jar, the urge to tell me all that is in your heart and on your  mind becomes overwhelming to you, and with each shake I give the stronger the urge becomes. You are powerless against silence, and tell me all, you tell me everything, – immediately, now, now, this very moment! As is my will, so be it!" Place this item some place where it will not be disturbed. Repeat the chant "(Full name of target,) every time I shake this jar, the urge to tell me all that is in your heart and on your  mind becomes overwhelming to you, and with each shake I give the stronger the urge becomes. You are powerless against silence, and tell me all, you tell me everything, – immediately, now, now, this very moment! As is my will, so be it!" once daily during the hour of Mercury until your target is telling you all you wish to know. 

    Just as a caution, sometimes the target will tell you far more than you ever wanted to  hear from them. 😦 So, be warned, you might hear too much!

  • Hey there kids, 

    Sorry for the delay on spell based articles. To say it's infuriating to type with three  birds all over you is an understatement, ha ha. However you've waited too long, so in no particular order of importance, here are some of the most common reasons I see people ruin their love spells, often without intending to…

    *Untreated Borderline Personality Disorder: Sadly, I see a lot of people come into my virtual office with such strong symptoms of this, that even I can tell it is the problem. If you often imagine scenarios that make you so upset you react to them as if they are real, if you are jealous of someone's ex from 25 years ago that they don't even talk to, or if you get mad if I'm three minutes late to our appointment, you probably should talk to someone regarding is it possible if you have BPD. In fact, if you tend to be clingy and insecure by nature, it wouldn't hurt to speak to a therapist as this disorder is VERY TREATABLE, HOWEVER, if you do not treat it, you will find your behavior often scares off the very people you want to keep close. :/ This is very very common, or at least I do see it a lot in my own practice, so being as it's clearly widespread, it does not make you a freak or "crazy" to have this condition, but you will feel so much better if you get treatment for it! 

    You Think Social Media is Real/ You're Too Into Social Media: I can usually tell if a spell will fail by the number of updates which have to do with someone telling me about social media. There are even types of these updates which are worse than others. For example telling me you are stalking someone's social media and "Found Out" (note: you found out nothing, the person has more or less announced it,) whatever information, then you go on to compare it to what you "know" about that person's social media habits, then tell me this or that MUST mean (whatever thing you think you deduced,) which is in my experience very off base to begin with, I know you have much higher probability of spell failure than someone who tells me that their spell target liked a photo or something. Now, go ahead and make excuses for the stalking to yourself, but I assure you, you're the only one who will believe you, and in many many many many years of doing this work for others, most petitioners are too far gone with obsessive behaviors by the time they are using social media to "figure out" what's going on with their target. You can be as mad as you want for me saying it, but I'm being honest. Again, there are levels to this… I have a few exes of my own that would only contact me via social media, and I also understand that minimal movement could be noticed, it's more that these people scan whatever platform frequently to see what the target is doing. There's also a good reason I won't do readings for people who want to have a good cry about something they found out on social media…the more I can discourage self defeating behaviors, the better. I STRONGLY recommend a self imposed vacation from social media for 3-4 weeks if you're spellcasting. It can only help. If you were never that into it, you don't need to take a break usually, but if you're a daily user, you would be well advised to take a break.  Nothing on there is real life, and frankly 99.9% of any audience anyone has on there will have forgotten what was posted in a very very brief time. Try moving away from believing social media is anything of substance – it won't just benefit your spell, it will also benefit your mental health as a whole. 

    You Believe that Anyone Offering Help/Advice For Free Is "On Your Side": People hate talking about your relationship which is exactly why you pay people to do so. So, if you're paying a therapist or spellcaster, that person is likely interested in helping as it's their job. Just offering you advice for free or involving themselves for free? That person almost definitely is not doing anything for your benefit. While I'm actually discussing mutual acquaintances you and your target have, unsurprisingly that free witch on TikTok who doesn't understand the four tenets of successful spellcasting (one of which is for you to KEEP SILENT,) is likely thinking the work to death with you while offering advice from a novice who is not even capable of casting a spell without entirely making it up from absolutely no experience or looking it up in a book. Try to keep people aware of your active spellwork to a bare minimum (it's fine to have a person other than your spellcaster to discuss it with, but don't have a group or several someones iin the loop,) if you really can't keep it to just between you and your spellcaster. Be wary of helpful mutual "friends" and always know anything you say or write may easily appear in a place your target could be aware of it. 

    You Use Dating Sites/Apps to find Long-Lasting Relationships: In over 20 years of these existing, the percentage of working relationships that I know of (and I fix relationships for a living, so I know of more relationships than most people,) that came off of a dating site or app is easily under 1%, but the amount of absolutely horrific dating stories which begin with "I met x on a dating app/site," is a huge percentage of "horrific dating stories" which the dates start from any source, being easily 60-75% of them. Statistically speaking, if you want a lasting relationship, you would first meet your partner through mutual friends. A side benefit of this is there are several murders and abusers that hang out on dating apps that you'd likely avoid as your friends probably would not set you up with a person best known for strangling their dates unconscious. It's not even that I'm old fashioned – my clients have proven this time and again, as have several of my friends…for most people, dating sites and apps are really only good if you're looking for a one night stand.

    You Aren't "Marriage Material": This is less about being actually married or wanting to be married, and more that several people want a lasting relationship, yet do not act like someone most people would want to stay with. When I ask a client what they have to offer someone else, often I get "Well, I'm good looking, and I'm witty," – this is like saying "I have a cool shirt, and I made a funny joke once." It will get you nowhere. Do you have a career? Do you have your own home? Do you have any upper degrees (so at least a bachelor's degree in something?) and if no on the degrees do you have certification in any trade? Do you clean up after yourself/keep a clean home? Do you have a pleasant demeanor even under stress? Are you good with children? Why is it someone would spend their life with you and entrust their money and home to you? If it's that you're hot and funny sometimes all you have is enough for a quick fling. Love isn't enough on it's own to make a relationship work. Until you can make yourself a valuable partner, you will keep falling short and lose long term relationships. 

    You Lack a High- or Moderate- Social-Intelligence: I truly wish this was taught in schools…but then, I'd probably not have as much work if it were… It's fairly common, but many people just aren't socially adept, and mess up their relationships (romantic, platonic, and business relationships,) for this very reason. For example, you don't need the last word, silence IS a response, and stop apologizing so much would be things I would teach people which would benefit them greatly. 😛

    You Wrongly Believe You Know What Your Intended Partner Thinks/Wants: One of the most obnoxious things people do is tell me this "Well, he likes stupid bimbos with fake boobs that laugh too much" or "She prefers rich, dumb, asshole types" – really? REALLY? So when your "beloved" (who is clearly a shallow knob in your view) brags to their friends about their current squeeze, they say "Wow, she has the fakest tits I ever saw" or "he's the richest most asshole man ever!" in your eyes? You are jealous, plain and simple, and you also do not have any clue what this person likes or wants in a mate if you really perceive it as so. While you may see no value in your rival, your intended does. Maybe they rescue injured wildlife, or maybe they always wanted to be a cardiologist and are studying to be one…whatever the reason, you clearly don't know it. Dispose of trying to figure out why they are dating your rival and keep working on getting that person attracted to you. This actually is related to….

    You Don't Actually Love or Care for your "Beloved": If you want to cause pain to someone or destroy their life so you can have them, you actually no longer really love them, if you ever did at all. It's up to you if you want to continue trying to seduce them because at this point if you get them, you will tire of them in a few weeks. I see it all of the time. 

    You're Too Impatient: If you're crying about the lack of results in less than 2 weeks after a spell has been cast, you're definitely not someone who should be using magic to get anything.

    Again, this isn't a finite list….but it's a nice opening for the love spell article I will be posting shortly. 🙂

  • 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 me a brand new bed. 

    The new year often brings us to new goals. They can be small (like me just saving enough for 2 weeks to have a real live bed, heh,) or large (like you finally getting that job you’ve been wanting, moving into a new place, or even finding that someone special.) HOWEVER, you have to be willing to stick to your goals, and to avoid this kind of thinking (which I see ALL TOO OFTEN in my inbox from many of you): “Well if I can just get a little positive feedback, then I will start acting in ways to make my spellwork manifest.” Wait, what am I talking about? Alright, so I’ll get something like this “I’ll stop stalking my target and stop being negative and stop lusting for results when the target is nicer to me.” Meanwhile the love spell target is like “I like (client) well enough when he/she isn’t so negative and creeping around after me, but clearly something is wrong with them right now so I’m going to avoid them.”

    How does this happen? Shouldn’t the spell make them attracted to you “no matter what?” No, that’s not really how it works. It makes you more attractive to them, more likeable to them, but if you’re acting mad unattractive and creepy and stalkerish it can overwhelm the spell energies. 😛 It’s actually comparable to this: “I’ll start going to my job regularly and doing the duties assigned to me if they give me the raise first.” So, if you did that with a spell to get a promotion, don’t you think your boss or manager is going to say “I was strongly thinking of promoting that person, but their work suddenly has really fallen off – maybe I should pick someone else.”

    While many of you do understand working WITH your spell, rather than AGAINST your spell, some of you clearly do not. Remember, the spell isn’t going to cut a deal with you. So if you say “Well I just feel like acting against my spell today but it shouldn’t matter because I was good for a whole 5 hours straight yesterday,” then the spell, itself not being a conscious entity will reason with you about as much as fire or rain or wind will reason with you, which is to say not at all. I don’t expect all of us to be our best selves 100% of the time (I’m certainly not and I’ve been spellcasting for over 30 years at this point,) but I also do expect most of us, if what we are spellcasting for is important to us, will try to be our best selves as much as possible. If it’s clearly against my spellwork to act like I’m creepy or stalking my target or if I’m fighting with a reconciliation target, then obviously I need to dial it back a notch if I want my spellwork to take.

    Now, the one thing I do like about this time of year is that there are frequent news articles regarding how to change or lose bad habits and regain or gain good habits. If your bad spell-killing behaviors have become habitual (for example, social media stalking a love target,) then you would be well advised to undertake reading a few of these (hint, hint,) because change is often not overnight. I know we are often taught that magic is well…miraculous, and it certainly can feel that way when it manifests, but part of it still lies within you to create an environment where you are nurturing the changes the spellwork brings, and making the desired end stick around.

    And here’s the thing – spell or no spell, if you want things to change, you manifest change just in changing how you act and/or how you live your life. For example, I’ve had people say “Cat, I have plenty of luck getting people interested in me, but I can’t seem to get any of them to stay interested in me.” After a few questions it becomes clear that the person is charming and not bad to look at, but they either don’t have a job, or any really interesting hobbies (for example, their hobbies are like “reading romance novels and watching tv,) etc. My advice to them is pretty much the same advice I gave to future Mr NinjaCat’s ex which is if you want someone to marry you (or stick around,) be the person that people want to marry (which for her would mean a complete 180 life change, but for most people would really require only a minimal to moderate level thereof.) So for example, make it clear you can support yourself, that you have an interesting life (and I don’t mean like you need to climb Mt Everest, but maybe something more thrilling than you know all the words to every Miley Cyrus song ever,) and that you’d be a good partner outside of just “I look nice.” Like if my guy and I were to break up right now, and I decided to find someone new, Mr New would need a job and his own place for me to even consider him, even if he was Jason Momoa – like THE Jason Momoa. So, if you find people find you really attractive, but then seem to lose interest I recommend working on perhaps getting a better job (or perhaps it’s having a job that gives you more free time as they just feel you don’t have enough free time for them,) or finding a new hobby….and it doesn’t need to be a weird hobby, just something you’re passionate about.

    And if your problem is you have an easy time KEEPING someone with you, it’s getting them interested in you, then usually the issue is more being introverted than anything else. You might (eek) just need to push yourself to go out a bit more and be a bit more outgoing. 

    Now people say to me, “What point is there in doing a spell if I still have to change?” Well, because even if a spell brings you what you want, – for example a new partner, or a new job, – you do need to create an environment which sustains and keeps that positive change in your life. So, instead of waiting for the spell to create the change THEN trying to adopt new habits to keep the change in your life, start manifesting that spell by changing your life so it can easily begin to take root and manifest. 

    Spells can be amazing and manifest faster than expected, but the manifestation phase is really wonderful for you beginning to adopt a few lifestyle changes to keep what you want in your life. So, if you feel like you’re stuck in a rut waiting for that spell to manifest, what I do is use that time to change my own bad habits into good habits. And  yes, I have bad habits, haha. For example, I’ll want to lose weight and continue to take the elevator (which I was doing until I moved into a three floor walk up and spent the first 2 weeks almost dying every time I had to go somewhere and come back, haha.)

    I realize many of us have become slovenly creatures of comfort during our 2 years being locked up inside thanks to the plague, and I actually can visibly see how this has impacted several manifestations. It’s hard to go out and get a job, when in reality you don’t even need to put on pants and it’s all over zoom and so you need to do the minimal amount to even appear like you haven’t been wearing the same pajamas for the last week. This means as you put less effort into YOURSELF, you also begin to put less effort into going after those things which you want, – be that love, or a new job, or a new home. I’ve found the more I can just sit around and watch television and order take out, the less effort I’d put into anything, including basic human to human interaction, and that actually taking the weekend to work a few hours at my retail job actually made me outgrow that “I’ve been wearing these lounge pants for 3 days look,” that I was definitely rocking throughout 2020. I have seen with my younger clients that having  less social opportunities like parties to go to has been detrimental to their regular social lives, so perhaps making sure you are vaccinated and boosted and perhaps attending a few outdoor events (weather permitting,) would help alleviate that problem. 

    Alright, I am going to try to get a spell article up today or tomorrow (with three very anxious parrots who won’t get the feck off of me every time I type, it’s not as easy as you might think,) and since I know I’ll be asked there is actually only a 10% off special on the 15 week plan (aka the one year plan) this month for specials. Sorry, December was my big discount month. :-/
