Ah, its that time on Cat’s Rants where I answer questions again…yee haw! 😉 For those of you new to the Rant Room, or those of you recently returning, please click on the Questions You’ve Asked Me link to the left for more of this type of article.
Q. I have heard if I use spells for dark or selfish purposes, that my ability to cast spells or use magic/k will be taken from my by [the Godforce/the Universe], – is this true?
A. Um, no… If I were to lie using my voice, my voice doesn’t permanently go mute; if I were to use my hands to strangle someone unto death, my hands don’t melt or become useless…are we seeing a pattern? I will not go into the karma/divine retribition as fictional boogeyman thing again today, but let’s just say that malicious intention or selfish motivation will not destroy your ability to cast a spell. However, if you are an immoral, cruel, or selfish person, you are apt to make a lot of enemies, and having a lot of enemies can certainly contribute to one’s downfall…so it probably isn’t going to help you a lot in life if you constantly act out of malice or selfishness. 😉
Q. What is the scariest thing you ever saw?
A. The bar tab I was handed on my 27th birthday.
Q. If more than one spell is cast on me for different or similar purposes, will it negatively effect the other spells?
A. No, spells do not negatively affect each other unless they are for 2 opposite purposes (ie casting a spell to bless someone and casting a spell to curse the same someone,) or the spell/s are purposely cast to affect another spell (ie, you cast a curse reversal to counteract and reverse a curse.) Further, if several people are spellcasting towards the same purpose (let’s say for a healing,) this only creates a stronger manifestation.
Q. I have heard/read that I should expect some sort of sign that my spell is working within either a 3-day, 3 week, or 3 month time period – what is your opinion on this?
A. I feel that the above statement is probably about 95% correct…the 5% that isn’t correct is that I would NOT infer this to a neophyte spellcaster. 😉 See, people who have not cast a lot of spells or who do not have a lot of practice with spellwork tend to project their feelings enough that either “everything is a sign,” OR, even worse, they “freak themselves out,” and nothing is a sign…or they eat nachos before bed and this gives them nightmares and then “OMG, CAT IS THIS A SIGN?” comes in my inbox…and the answer again is probably not.
My advice with signs is this…until you feel entirely secure in the actual act of spellcasting, don’t look for a sign. Once you are comfortable and acclimated to casting spells, you will start noticing signs, and you won’t question if they are or aren’t…you will know. Its not easy to describe, but as best I can put it…when you get a sign, you know its a sign, sort of like once you fall in love, you know you are in love and you don’t have to ask if you are or aren’t. 😉 If you have to ask if its a sign, it probably isn’t. 😉
Q. If I have stalked or harassed my ex, is there really even any hope of getting them back through spellwork?
A. Well, like anything else, this is going to be a “case by case” answer with no one blanket answer to use. 😉 For example, if you stalked and threatened them repeatedly, your chances are a lot more slim of getting them back than if you simply called them too much 3 days after the break up. 😉
So… what you need to do is first STOP doing anything wacky like calling or IMing or anytihng like that. Calm down. Calm now? Good. 😉 Now clean yourself up and look fantastic (no martyr of love look – that’s not gonna help,) and when you go out, act as if you are fine with or without so and so…(you and I know you are secretly carrying a flame, but that’s okay,) and then start your reconcilation work and wait for that person to come back to you. I swear it can and does work amazingly, even in many bad situations. If you really want this person back, this is at least worth a try, right?
However, if you “can’t help yourself,” and continue to call, stalk, harass or demean your “intended,” you can continue being hurt and disappointed. Regardless of spellwork, there is NOTHING to be accomplished from openly pursuing a party who is not interested or desirous of your open pursuit. It took some sort of seduction to get this person to begin with, so acting like a crazy person…well, it isn’t seductive. 😉 Give them some time to regain their trust of you, and to remember what they loved about you, and keep up your spellwork…in a few weeks you may be pleasantly surprised to have this person back.
Keep those questions coming!!
Regards,
~Cat
Hey everyone,
Well, I have had a few…er, interesting clients in my day, but now I have one trying to extort money from me! :S Since I had to bring this up on my site, and I know there will be questions, being the forthright individual I am, I am just going to relate the story here.
Some months back, I was contacted by a woman who wanted me to help her with a relationship issue. She seemed very normal, very laid back, and very civil, so I was of course thrilled to take her on. I like civil clients as much as the next person. 😉
Although as many of my clients know I do recommend the “let them come to you, do not contact them first,” stance in relationship cases, and I do remember saying something of this nature to her, she apparently contacted her “intended,” first because she had told me the situation had worsened. We agreed to do a recast for which I was not paid.
In a few weeks (total about 4 weeks or so from me taking her case, this is approximated,) she reported that the result was not what she had wished and inquired about a refund. I said, “You need to wait at least another 1.5 months, and then just EMAIL me and I suppose I can refund you.” Mind you, her case fell well outside of the refund clause, but I was feelin’ generous.
Some time later, she emails to complain the refund hadn’t been sent. Considering she needed to email me to get said refund, (which I clarified at that time,) I apologized, got a money order, and then promptly forgot to mail it because I’m a tool. She did remind me. Sometime a little later, I mailed the money order.
Weeks later I get another email from her saying she’s received nothing. Well, I hate the US Postal Service sometimes (it happens that stuff gets lost,) so I took $100 cash out of my own wallet, didn’t even check to see if the money order was cashed, wrapped it up tight, and again I placed this in an envelope waiting to go out.
Between here and there I had an incedent where I was worried about my dog and also my friend was killed. Unfortunately since I am not usually the one to put stuff out into the mail, and I’d wanted it to go out with a tracking number, someone else did post it for me, and unbeknowst to me. I feel bad for misinforming her this morning (see story below,) that it was here (I’d not mailed it,) but when I realized it had been mailed, I actually felt bad because I wanted to priority mail 10,000 pennies or something (yeah, its immature, but he he, you would too if you had to deal with this c***, and I don’t use the word lightly.)
This morning I receive a threatening letter about her wanting more money. My first reaction since I had to go to bury my friend this morning was to tell her to kiss off and I’d send the envelope I have when she asked me for my f+++ing money personally, elsewise she could wait until I had him in the ground. I am a bad mailer, but you tell someone to wait for you to pay, then tell them someone died, they usually act like a human being.
Nope.
So after that I discovered more money had been mailed to her, told her as much and she again threatens legal action. Mind you, the gas and court fees will cost her more than the $100.
She has continuously harrassed me all day, she postulated that she’s an attorney (hard to believe, she’s a little too unstable and can’t even directly phone me,) and I literally had to call the Ipswich, Mass police and my local police department to get a cease-harassment order. She now wants to take me to court for a $100 fee that I’ve refunded (despite her not being deserving of said refund,) twice. I’ve also looked in my record and there is no copy of a money order receipt from her and I copy them before I cash them for my records. I’ve also been threatened that she wants to extort money from me for “making false claims” that I never made. She refused to follow directions and she did not read the disclaimer. I am not a mean person usually, but this really gets to me. What sort of low-character would even start this drama when I am obligated to bury a friend. I know my mailing abilities can be rage invoking, but for goodness sake, I wanted to open up that envelope so I could go to the bank and get all $1 bills and send them to her because I was that irked and sorry I couldn’t FedEx a wad of ones. Heh heh heh…
As for the guy, you know, I’ve reconciled a lot of people, but I’m really really happy I “didn’t succeed,” because she worked against my instructions, and that she did chase him away. I mean, I wouldn’t wish her on my worst enemy. 😉
Now, for those of you who know me, I do and I have refunded people before. I love you and if you’d like to submit a statement on my behalf I will appreciate it most kindly. 🙂 I would also love to hear some love from anyone. I’ve dealt with some difficult people in my day but this one is pretty bad… If she had picked a day on which I didn’t have to plant a friend I’d never even have had the cease-harrassment order. I would have probably gotten another $100 and sent it. I will publically admit to being a complete horse’s butt and having actually paid people 3-4 times on other occaisions before realizing I’d done that. 😉
Anyhow thanks for listening to me bitch….since many were curious. Sorry for the pissy news…it will be better in a week or so when she realizes she has no foot to stand on. 😉 Hey, maybe I’ll get 1 of the 2 payments I sent her, too! LOL!
Thanks all. More FUN stuff coming.

A special thanks goes out to reader “GypsySpell,” for this cute pic of me on the Miller Lite sitting with my Frog Prince. 😉 Why in the heck am I drunk in every pic of me? Oh, yeah, the serious and normal times just aren’t so funny to get a pic of me. 😉 It would be nice to have my eyes open in one of these pictures…hey, can I have my bar tab? Apparently your nasty friend, Cat needs to brush her teeth and take a shower…the teeth I can blame on the filter, but the sweaty Scotswoman is obviously all me. 😉 (Note, I am the pink one on the left…I haven’t managed to turn myself into a Muppet yet.) 😉
You know, I wanted to marry Kermit the Frog for almost half of my life…so this is so cute. 😉 Thanks for PShopping my giant head into a pic with Kermit’s giant head! 🙂 Can someone do a pic of me as Peanuts chartacter next?

Hey all,
As per a few requests for EASY STUFF, I said to myself…how much easier? Alright, here are 5 of Cat’s quick fixes…randomly ordered:
1.) If you want a bit more prosperity in your life, each Wednesday drop 2 drops of Money Drawing Oil and one drop Fast Luck oil onto the soles of the shoes you wear most of the time. 🙂
2.) Want some luv? LOL, wear Sweet Pea scent under your cologne, and once a month burn a candle dressed in either your semen or your menstrual blood and Follow me boy (for ladies, gay men,) or Follow me girl (men and gay ladies,) oil, and inscribed with “(your full name) is beloved and desired by all,” up (base to wick,) the side of the candle.
3.) Fighting with a roommate or housemate? Write their full name on a scrap of paper and put it in the sugar dish (bury it deep in the sugar dish,) to sweeten them up. Remove paper when they are being nice again. 😉
4.) Burn lemongrass incense or have lemongrass in an oil diffuser at your business to draw prosperity.
5.) Hate the person living the apartment next to (above to, below,) yours? Take equal parts sulphur, cayenne, and koscher salt (available in the grocery store,) and pour them in an X shape beneath your neighbor’s dust mat while you say, “(Neighbor’s full name, or ‘tenants of apt number …’”) leave this place immediately!
Alright…back to the more intense stuff soon… 😀

Hey all,
I came across this band, Otherwise, recently at a festival…I’m in love with the first song “Electronic Truth,” on this video…the other, “Electro Raaga” is OK….I saw them live and they have some super kickass stuff. Check it out:

Yes, I have incredibly eclectic taste in music, can you tell? 😉 And I dunno, even the lead singer’s name is Dan Porn…you know you wanna have a listen. 😀
~Cat
A special congrats to one of my best friends from college and a brother from my brother fraternity, John B, on his brand new house! 😀
The winner of the Spell Contest…did not win. I had 7 entries, and the “winner” was the sole person who I thought did not plagurize until the plagurism was uncovered. 😛 There will be no more spell contests then. Ew, plagurism.
As many of you know, I am selling jewelry (hemp, silver, glass,) at many festivals this year. Please ask me if you live in the upstate NY region or Albany if I will be near you for a festival. 😀 I love meeting fans…unless they are dEranGed…lol!
Speaking of jewelry, I am going to have some of my original pieces (my handiwork, yeah,) up for sale on my site in July. Keep checking for the link. 😉
The EVIL smoking ban has “passed” in NH…please work with me to ban the ban on smoking, as fat people are next…its just going to keep going…. :S This is an infringement on all of your rights. Please work with me to fight “nanny laws” in your state and mine. Contact me if you are interested in repealing nanny laws and allowing the owner of an establishment to decide whether or not they would prefer to accomodate people who wish to indulge in legal behaviors (eating junk, smoking tobacco, oral sex, driving without a seatbelt…oh sorry, seltbeltlessness can only happen in NH, lols.)
In August, I am going to have a package on reconcilation available for download. 🙂 This will be recon spells you can use all in one convenient eBook. 🙂 Can’t wait to get it out and ready for all of you. 🙂
And last but not least… If I have declined to give you service, please do not insist on emailing me daily. 😛 Thanks.
Beast Witches,

I’ve got to publish a few things, but figured this might as well go out first….
Things everyone needs to remember….
1.) I am NOT Cat Yronwode. Cat Yronwode is NOT the NinjaCat. I live in NH. Cat Yronwode lives in California. Cat Yronwode runs the Lucky Mojo. I DO NOT OWN THE LUCKY MOJO, SELL THEIR PRODUCTS, ACT AS THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE, OR WRITE THE INFO CONTAINED ON THE LUCKY MOJO SITE, ie why I am the Yankee Hoodoo, because in the USA, a Yankee is someone living above the Mason Dixon line, on the east coast, she doesn’t work here or have a mailbox at my site…and please stop calling me at Lucky Mojo…I’ve never even set a toe in the state of California, so I am too far away to get the phone…at someone else’s shop…in a state I live on the opposite end of the continent from… Are we clear? Good.
Moving on…
2.) I do read the comments on this blog, but often days after they are left. Please use the myriad of links to contact me directly. I do not respond to personal stuff left on the blog…I in fact erase a lot of it for your privacy. If you have a private issue with a spell or want to tell me something personal that you don’t want plastered on the net for all to see, do not leave this in the comments box. The comments box is not attatched to my inbox.
3.) Everything here, excluding where noted, is my own work. I even give credit to those who inspired me on several occaisions, but it is mine. If you copy or paste onto your site or steal my work I will litigate and send bad evil things after you. You do not get credit for my life’s work.
Alright…I have to do this every 6 months ago, so sorry if this is repetitive to many of you. 😉
Hugs,
~Cat
Hey Occulties,
So I located this slip of paper I had floating around the disaster area which is my desk…and it was what I’ve been looking for…I had all these awesome unique questions you’ve asked me! 😀 Enjoy…these are some good ones!
Q: What would you call really good all-purpose herbs?
A: Well, its just an opinion, but I really like Lemongrass…add this to almost anything, and it packs quite a wallop…not so good for neg works, though. Rose is very all purpose for positive workings, though it can be color-dependent…best with love, blessings, and healings. Cinnamon is good for lust and money….that Allspice really works wonderfully in lucky type ventures…I like Mugwort a lot, but I think it is just a personal love for the herb and not that its all-purpose… Miss Cat and Mugwort like to work together, lol! 😉 But I will stick with my first answer…lemongrass…man, that stuff is useful!
Q: Can a curse bounce back and hurt my children and/or pets?
A: I guess, for argument’s sake, I could tell you that the person/s you’ve cursed might deflect your curse and bounce it back on to you or your family, but it is highly unlikely that parties suchas your children or animals will be effected by a curse which you have launched on to another individual, even in such cases where the target has reversed the curse. However, if you are working spells against someone with a means to work them as well, then I must reasonably assume you had the presence of mind to first ensure that you have protective measures covering you and your loved ones in cases of magic/kal assault. It is always a good idea to use protection spells, even when NOT using magic/k, and NOT cursing others, so if you have not taken steps to protect yourself, your family, and your loved ones before casting a curse on another person, please do so now and in the future.
However, this question is often asked of me with the whole “karma,” debate. I respect that some people believe in karma, but I definitely do not, nor have I ever seen proof of its existence, so I am not the right person to ask if you are trying to imply that you might be “karmically” injured. 😉 However, again for argument’s sake, if I were to actually give any value to “karma,” the answer again is, no, your children and pets would not be harmed. The “bad karma,” would be all yours. 😉
Q: What would you do, personally, if someone cast a spell on you to make you do something like fall in love with them?
A: Well, the love thing is sketchy…mostly, I would probably think it cute and be flattered and nothing more, so I’d do nothing about it…BUT if it was a break up spell, or a sexual-coersion spell, I’d treat the break up spell as a curse and pay the person in kind, and a sexual coersion spell (lust spell,) I’d treat as an attempted rape, and pay back in a manner all rapists who would dare attempt such things on me should be paid back. >:) Use your imagination as to what I mean…. 
I would make an exception on that lust spell only for my significant other casting it, and he doesn’t do spellwork, so no worries either way. 🙂
Q: What would you consider the most important thing for one to do for a successful spellcasting?
A: It is more a trait, I guess, than a palpable thing, but I would say strong focus and the ability to manipulate and send/transmit ethereal (psychic) energies is the most important thing.
Q: Do you believe in past lives?
A: Yes, but I also feel that we should live in our present lives, so I don’t give it too much thought or allow myself to wonder at what or who I may have once been. 😉 I’m me, you’re you, and we have to live in THIS LIFE…its bad enough that many people live in their past of their present life…even worse to live in the past of a past life. 😉
Q: You talk a lot about relationships…what would you say is your best advice?
A: Well, realizing that your happiness must come from yourself, and not be dependant on another person (ie you must be capable of being happy without that person, and of being happy without that person acting in the manner you deem appropriate,) is the first step to finding love. Until you can honestly say that your partner COMPLIMENTS you, rather than makes you complete (like wine is great with dinner, but wine and dinner are wonderful seperately, they just compliment each other,) you will never be happy in love. Your partner should make your life better and more enjoyable, but you should not NEED that person to survive. Situations in which you need another to survive, to be able to think, or be able to function should only occur if you are an invalid or a small child. But this is just my opinion, so do with it what you will. 😉
Q: Can I use saints in my workings if I am not Catholic or a religion derivitave of Catholicism, or if I am not Christian?
A: I see no issue in you calling on the powers of the saints even if they are not a part of your religious beliefs. In my experience they do work for everyone who sincerely calls upon them for help, regardless of that person’s religion. Go for it. 🙂
Q: What is the easiest and fastest way to get money?
A: Non-magic/kally speaking, things like selling some of your stuff, or getting a job, or asking to borrow some cash from friends or family is a start. 😉
Magically speaking, I would say get an orange taper candle (a light elecricky yellow-orange,) and anoint it up (base to wick,) with seven pulls using fast luck oil. Inscribe your name paper (that scrap of brown bag I always tell y’alls to use,) with your name 9x like this:
John Doe
John Doe
John Doe(x6 more times,) turn the paper so your name is running vertically, and write 9x in the same manner across your name, “Money in my pocket,” or “Money comes to me immediately,” or something along those lines, fold the paper twice towards you, and then place this beneath the candle holder… Chant something along the lines of “I conjure money, wealth and riches to me, immediately,” an odd (3, 5, 7, 9) amount of times, and then say, “As is my will, so be it,” and allow the candle to burn down…should bring money to you in a hurry. 😉
Q: Can I use my deceased relative/pet’s ashes in my workings?
A: Yes… I use my childhood dog’s ashes in protective works on my family…I’ve heard that relatives’ and pets’ remains have been used in gambling spells and love spells as well… I say that many of our deceased loved ones are usable in protection and love spells…outside of this, black cat ash is wonderful for gambling and love purposes…but please do not use the remains of your grandma without first putting some deep ethical thought into it. The cremated remains of a loved one are important and should not be disturbed because you have a crush on so and so…it isn’t a working to undertake lightly, in other words.
Alrighty, kids, that’s all for now. Please get your spell submissions into me for the contest…oh, and I am also running an intense reconcilation spellcasting special, if you are all interested. 🙂 Check out the originalninjacat.com site for details on that, and check out my last post for details on my cool contest where you can win MY MONEY which its always better to be spending someone else’s money, right? 😉
If there are any questions, as always, please contact me!
Best,
~Cat
