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, 

    In the interest of transparency and because it is clearly reached the point of not just hysteria but straight up libel and defamation of character (I’m actually in talks with a law firm regarding dealing with that, because that anyone would say such things is vile,) I’m going to address the Reddit situation. 

    For starters I’ve been arrested once in my life – for under age drinking in 1997. I wasn’t charged. I was almost 21. I’ve never been arrested for meth. In fact it’s bizarre anyone says I smoke meth. My ex husband lost his mind smoking it and I didn’t even know that he was doing it until he’d spent most of my money. I have no idea who thinks I smoke meth but after what I watched it do to my ex husband, I don’t appreciate the accusation, and furthermore I didn’t live in Portland in March 2016. I didn’t even live in Maine. I certainly wasn’t arrested in 2016, much less in March of that year, much less for a drug I’d never even seen in person for several more years after that.

    Next, my husband may have battled addiction issues before but I’ve been very upfront with my clients about this when we work together, as many of you have had them as well and I can be very understanding, and I really don’t appreciate the exaggerated and monstrous lies I’m reading. He has never sexually abused a child aged like 4 or 2 or whatever the fuck is being said. Never. My husband was a TEENAGER himself when another TEENAGER lied about her age and they fooled around. So what was a few years previously a crime known as statutory rape  now carried other charges instead. I deal with having to tell people this from time to time. Why do you think the man HAS HAD SUBSTANCE ABUSE ISSUES? Sick people who think he is this monster and post such awful things that we are now suing for libel. I mean this was almost 25 years ago and he’s 40 now. It wasn’t with a 2-4 year old or anything so revolting. He would never harm a child. He would never do that. And you know what? I wouldn’t be with a man who would. 

    the ridiculous and awful LIES I have read are so hurtful… and not just to me. What on earth does my husband have to do with ANYTHING? 

    Furthermore my family is not at all very well to do and several of these bizarre statements that bring to mind a girl who threw herself at my husband and had some incredibly deep emotional problems who used to believe these things no matter what myself and my husband would tell her to assure her she was wrong. Because she said those things, no one else. 

    Pomegranate is a girl angry because she paid me like $150 to get a man she went on one or two dates with 2 months previously to come back and I’m not sure they even kissed. She’s told multiple different stories since to several clients of mine and frankly, I told her it wasn’t likely to work at the time. She tried to blackmail me for free work and this is what she is doing as revenge. I might be misidentifying but the syntax and behavior would assure me I’m not.

    if this is what you prefer as your resource for information, after over a year of abuse and lies, I am suing. This is libel. So much of what is said is absolutely false and unsubstantiated. You may contact me if you want to ask any questions and I will gladly address any and all concerns. I was absolutely sick when I read the lies – several with articles linked that do not even name me or have my name saying I’m charged with this or that. I’ve never been arrested save for the 1997 underage drinking I wasn’t charged with and my husband isn’t a child molester and we aren’t rich by any stretch of the imagination. 

    20 years in business  and many happy clients and these two sick individuals would actively try to ruin me and smear me over a few dollars? Are you serious? Please contact me if you truly are concerned. My husband has never abused small children. How awful someone would say something so vile.

    PS- in the last year I’ve had 2 complaints. One was from a kid who was repeatedly told to mind his manners and got fired when he couldn’t, the other from someone who told me they were dissatisfied with work I allegedly did and since they came to me using a clearly fake name with the complaint I asked them kindly to tell me who I was talking to so I could pull up their file and they said nothing else. Since each client contract does talk about a posting sharing clause, abd must be agreed to prior to hiring me, I know it’s likely not my clients posting such things, but if you are in breach of contract and actually have a real problem and aren’t bringing that to my attention appropriately so we can hopefully work to find a solution we both agree on, I do hope you know the validity of such reviews are very unlikely in such cases. I didn’t even know someone was unsatisfied in such cases and am always happy to work with people to make sure they are satisfied with their purchase.. unless they attempt blackmail or threaten me. 

    PPS- unless you can verify without doxxing (against Reddit rules) who I am married to, and all the gross lies you posted which there were several false and unsubstantiated claims, knowing both our dates of birth and of course where we lived when supposed charges or accusations were made, and should any be a matter of judgement made against one in be a court of law, never posting anything of which one was acquitted as being true or that an actual arrest was made if that’s your sole claim, and that this is without question the truth, and that every single thing you say or said has full merit, and you can prove it beyond any shadow of a doubt, we have already gotten the whole thread, (threads) are getting the IP addresses from Reddit and unless you are sure none of it is rumor or conjecture – you have every right to say I’m a bad person, but any other allegation from I don’t really do the spells which I can actually prove otherwise, or that I am a meth head arrested for meth, or that my husband molested a 3 year old (and prove he’s my husband, and that he did that,) – you are responsible as is the mod for keeping that up and for what you said. We will be coming after you all. Expect paperwork. This isn’t a joke. I won’t say anything more because from now on, I have a legal case against you all and nothing else will be says before I win, and if you don’t get a gag order post everything about the case, including your fucking names and why you stalked me and lied on me and my family for over a year. 😊 I know the truth always comes to the light, so just a bit of personal advice but you should be sure you can win before you post those sorts of things. I gotta lot of thankful grateful happy clients too who will show up for me – over a hundred offered since we started looking this week. Be sure those “bad reviews” will all show up too. See you soon lovelies. 

  • Hey all, 

    Started a page on instagram to show some tarot readings. Feel free to follow!

  • Hey Occulties,

    Ive been pretty lenient with ghosting, and repeat business delaying or canceling services, because I understand sometimes things happen. However when I get a glut of this all at once, understandably it’s difficult to allow several people to screw me on payment or cancel last minute, costing me an appointment time someone may well have wanted and therefore a sale. I’m sure many of you understand that working for free isn’t exactly what I want to do, and not being able to trust virtually anyone to be timely in payment is furthermore not exactly a beneficial situation, especially when these same people expect a sale deal weeks after sales have ended.

    So since this past week almost twenty people ghosted (3 people) or delayed payment/services (16), I’ve decided to institute a policy change.

    I realize the ghosts are not apt to reappear. This used to be called the misused consultation charge, but now my dear ghosts, there’s a $150 fee for ghosting on a spell consultation. I don’t mean you decided to use another person’s services or something came up, I mean you vaporized and didn’t let me know if you were or were not interested. This is definitely to discourage anyone rude enough to do this from coming back. I personally detest this behavior. The least you could do is spend 30 seconds of your day letting me know you changed your mind.

    For delaying payment or services, I will fine you $25 for a second offense in 4 months. I’m sick and tired of being pleasant when I also have bills to pay and a life outside of work, and people just, on a whim, cancel generally for reasons which are not all that solid.

    Sorry for anyone upset by this, and as I courtesy to all my very good and awesome clients, I’m running a BOGO sale on all single spellcastings. ❤️

  • Hey Occuties, 

    poor sad Reddit stalker, just a big stupid baby on my Facebook looking for anything bad to say. And I did have a shitty landlord experience (perhaps it was authored by my Reddit stalker since it can’t resist acting out,) and am looking at moving at a bad time since I just moved and it’s expensive. I’m lucky in that I have many many friends, and since I don’t troll someone to try to dump their dirt on Reddit for a living, plenty of people who love me.

    So while I thank all of you for you concern, and of course welcome you to speak privately to me about it, this person is merely a sad, obsessed little bug, and I’ve no need of anyone they might dissuade from working with me as anyone is easily fooled by an obviously demented mouth-breathing asshat is no one I’d work for as is. 

    just a thought, stalker:

    I have every idea who this is and she’s one to call me flabby seeing as she’s a chunky one herself. The fake admission forms calling me names were a dead giveaway. 

    🥱,

  • Hey kids,

    so I killed my iPhone. It fell down the stairs Xmas morning and I can’t fix it yet because it’s starving season still…BUT if you were rude enough to do the whole “hello where’s my reply,” which was only 2 of you, you’re fired and fuck off because both of you were spoken to already. Like fuck all the way off, and if I ever hear you complained about it, I’ll review you online, and I’m merciless so try me. full names, dates of birth, and images will be posted in my review 

    BUT, most have been wonderful, so since I’m starving still (thanks December – you, the worst month ever,) just as a note, iPhone users can schedule a reading since I still have FaceTime audio, and when I get to the mall finally I can get that screen fixed. I may be able to do readings via fb as I’ve just broken in there, lol. And remember the December special is almost over. Then I get paid again and I can charge full price 😏

    I’m trying to get a real article up. So get excited

  • Hey kids, 

    Since my business contacts are a bit uninformed on my policies, let’s review how one goes about properly contacting me. 

    For example, short of severe email problems, you should ONLY CONTACT ME VIA MY SITE EMAIL (it ends in originalninjacat.com,) AND you and I will have established that you can make an exception to the rules for you to contact me via any other route (text/sms, chat service, etc,) which is only acceptable if your emails are not reaching me…and you may be confused as to if they are or are not because…

    EVERY NEW EMAIL RESETS YOUR WAIT ON ALL UNANSWERED EMAILS, so sending reminders and multiples is often an INCREDIBLY BAD IDEA. Not just because you will wait longer for a reply but also because…

    Nagging me because you prolonged your own wait ona reply when I am busy as fuck (as I am at this writing,) just gets you fired. 

    So since several of you seem unaware if this, please keep this in mind.

  • Hey kids,

    Looks like it’s that time to once again explain readings to my client base – and I don’t mean what they are but what they do to the very fragile environment which is my schedule. 

    Readings, while being a hugely over-used and very-invasive diagnostic tool, DO comfort some people. I understand this and if my schedule is relatively light, they are in no way burdensome. But the reality is for every 20 readings I do, 1 is probably going to be useful for the purpose of moving along the spell in a better direction. Furthermore I can read you and your situation quite well without trying to pull this information in a focused state, the difference being I don’t have to reword and explain to you what I pick up, nor am I overly focused on exact dates and times (frankly my meter runs from: now, to soon, to not too soon, to so far off I really am not secure about it – when I am not focused,) and I’m also do not need to try to fight off someone else’s energies to read the situation which is common if I’m speaking to someone very invested in an outcome. They won’t stop messing with what I’m trying to pick up – their energy messes with the transmission as they try to pick apart what I’m saying as I say it. Usually I am quite aware of what my client wants, so them disrupting energy to project their own hopes and fears on it is not going to help me glean anything I don’t know. And it’s an icky feeling a fair amount if the time to even do these readings. Like do you want to feel the energy of a ton of angry and hurt and vengeful and desperate people on top of your own feelings? Several times a day? And it’s very draining to have my energy pulled all over the place on top of this. It exhausts me. I even try to get most or all of my spells done before I talk to anyone because if I don’t I have to rest and refresh and that takes up precious spellcasting time just like readings do…thanks to being so hugely disruptive merely for being what they are. 

    And this does not even account for the time spent coaching many people through every circumstance from casting to manifestation, which is a duty which has grown exponentially since I started. I am now consulted over even the most trivial of happenings. So if each reading will take 1-2 hours over the alotted reading time out of my day, the communication part has at least tripled in the last ten years, leading to large swaths of time where I might not have time enough to shower or eat so I have to choose which I do. 

    This is compounded by the fact I just moved, I have chores and s personal life, and one of my birds broke his wing and his vet is almost an hour away and I have to medicate him which requires grabbing him, rolling him in a towel and forcing his liquid meds into his very unwilling angry little beak. 

    Now if I had zero readings, I’d have a lot more time to communicate ESPECIALLY IF PEOPLE STOP SENDING MULTIPLE REMINDERS ON NOT LATE EMAILS SINCE I HAVE FIVE BUSINESS DAYS TO REPLY AND EACH NEW EMAIL RESETS THE WAIT ON ALL OF THEIR UNANSWERED ONES. And even then if half of my talkative clients (just half) halved their communications I’d have the ability to almost double my caseload. 

    Add to that very reality that zero readings regardless of my talkative folks would allow me to add 30-40% more spellcastings and I’d be less exhausted and cheerier for not having to experience the dreadful emotional turmoil often present in those getting them and you have the semi-annual halt to reading services starting now. 

    if it’s literally life or death, I might read. If it’s scheduled I’ll do it. But for at least the next week, DO NOT seek me for reading services. It’s taking up far too much time and energy right now. I’ll let you know when the service resumes

  • Hey there my occultey friends, 

    So many of you have asked what exactly has been going on because my time has been difficult to schedule and I’ve not written much in months…plus getting me to write a lot is a bit like pulling teeth. The short answer is…the world’s worst Uhaul, which is on Marginal Way in Portland, ME, lost and destroyed almost all of my earthly possessions in July 2023. Why? E cause they were too inept to do their jobs and are terrible people who literally lost my whole life in a computer error. This is $30k-$40k worth of accumulated clothing, electronics, furniture, fine art, food and hygiene items, linens and blankets….even priceless and unreplaceable items and memorabilia from friends and loved ones who have died. As you might imagine, this was awful, and while some of you might say “at least you didn’t have to pay storage?” This was a summer move and required moving in with a friend for a few months until the real estate prices here settled to something more feasible. So I would not have paid to store it except in July. 

    Not everything was lost of course – the birds, a suitcase (one of seven full ones plus several other containers of clothes, all lost now,) a bucket of cleaners and chemicals, a few shoes, most of my make up, a good portion of spell ingredients (but none of my religious statuary,) and a toolbox full of art supplies did survive the incident. That aside, we clearly need to rebuild from the ground up now that we have a house, so during what I normally term “the starving season” since getting paid in late November until about Martin Luther King day is like finding a unicorn, I’m trying to raise some capital so I can have things like a couch again. 

    And hopefully I’ll have a working laptop again, and maybe even get a new iPhone this year since my 8 is in horrible shape. 

    While I certainly am in no shape to refuse charity, I prefer to do a sale. I will add specific items here which are greater than 10% off (the list changes daily) but take 10% off of SPELL PRICES EXCEPT JAR SPELLS UNLESS ON SPECIAL until the end of November. 

    TODAYS SPECIAL PRICES ARE: 

    11/20/23
    30 day spellcasting: normally $1125, today only $850
    Sweet Jar (creation of jar + one month of service)  normally $175, today only $125

    So contact me if interested in getting a deal on some spellwork!

  • Hey Occulties,

    Now for something more exciting and not inspired by the people who don’t read the archives. 🤪

    This is a spell to specifically work on a friend or confidant who has revealed your secrets or spoken falsely (in a bad way,) about you. If you trusted someone to remain discreet or if they posed as your friend only to be revealed as anything but that (since the true test of a friend is what they say when you’re not around,) this is the spell for you. 

    You will need:
    A lemon
    Cayenne pepper
    Animal dung
    Broccoli buds
    Heavy black thread or twine
    A knife
    A strong needle (an upholstery needle works well,)
    A scrap of unused paper with all the edges torn (not cut) off
    A black-inked marker or pen
    An object which has touched the target’s mouth (such as a piece of napkin, straw, or cigarette butt)

    Using your black-inked pen, write the target’s name nine times, once per line as such:
    Firstname Lastname
    Firstname Lastname
    Firstname Lastname
    Firstname Lastname(etc 5 more times, replacing the word firstname with their first name and lastname with their last name,) then turn the paper a quarter turn and write the command “Everything you say smells and sounds like shit” across this nine times to create a sort of grid with the name and the command. Fold the paper in half once, taking care to fold it up and not towards you, now fold the paper up again, still not folding towards you but upwards. Set this aside. Cut a small slit out of your lemon, – just a sliver and so not cut the lemon all the way through, place your personal item, your name paper, some broccoli and that dung into the slit. Now keeping your target in your mind’s eye sew the slit shut by stitching 9 x’s with your thread, and each time you make the x shape, say “(Full name of target,) every word you speak smells and sounds like shit until you take back all your lies and no person believes any secrets of mine you have told,” and when you say this the ninth time and stitched the final X shape to seal the slit (still keeping your target’s image in your mind’s eye,) say “as is my will, so be it!” Take the item and leave it in an abandoned or undeveloped property off of- and to the east of- your property. And walk away without looking back. 

    I’m sure there will be questions, so please ask

  • Hey kids, 

    while we all know I love CashApp the best as a pay processor, that’s not always an option for everyone, so I have 2 other suggestions. 

    Chime is offering us both money if I refer you to sign up. It’s a lot like CashApp and Venmo and super convenient, so why the hell not. Feel free not to take my referral link (then neither of us get a sign on bonus 😕) or try it out for free and see what you think. We could both make $100 if you like it as much as I do. 😊

    I already use it and think it’s fabulous! 

    And if you’re looking for a way better pay processor than PayPal, check out Revolut for international transactions. It has much better exchange rates, much better service, and is a 300% improvement on clunky old PayPal! Try Revolut and see for yourself! ❤️
