This is a work in progress, so forgive me if it doesn't answer your particular question. ;) If you have a particular question not answered here, please contact me directly via email.
Q: Can I call you?
A: I prefer you email me, as when I've given out my number, people have called me at absurd hours of the night and morning. I don't give out my number, even by request, as it is my cell and that's pretty intimate when we've never met. ;)
If you want me to call, that costs money, too, as that would be a scheduled appointment. Please keep my answers to your questions free by using email.
Q: What is the substitute for (name of herb)?
A: Unfortunately, too many people ask this because they're too apathetic or cheap to locate a certain ingredient. All herbs/roots have definite personalities and are chosen for each spell because of said personality. Please only ask me this if its not a case of apathy on your part to find an herb. ;) My answer, of course, will probably be "the essential oil of that herb," so, hehe, be prepared. ;)
Q: How do I search your blog?
A: Currently, the folks at TypePad do not have a search box feature. I have been told that if you find using the catagories on the nav bar to the left is too tedious, the best idea is to google "Cat's Rants" and whatever topic you are seeking to learn more about.
Q: I am looking for a break up curse or a death curse - where can I find this?
A: I do not post those types of spells on my blog - however, there are CURSES on my blog if you are interested in that. Click on "Cursing/Controlling Spells" in the "Catagories" section of the Nav bar, to your left.
Q: Where did you find this or that spell?
A: All spells and recipies on this blog are my original creations except where noted. Everything is copyright me, save where I have, again, noted the owner/creator of the spell, recipie, etc., or in such cases wherein the prayer, chant, or recipie is noted as being TRADITIONAL with author/creator unknown. Plagiarists will get a swift kick to the ass and may have demonic entities like my lawyer sent to haunt them.
COPYRIGHT IS ENFORCABLE ON THE INTERNET! If you are stealing my work, or copying or pasting ANY INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS BLOG, transmitting it in any way, you could be sued. I do not take plagiarism lightly.
Q: Aren't you afraid of Karma/Law of Three/Divine Retribution?
A: Inasmuch as I respect that others may have these beliefs, I do not. Also, the Law of Three (a Wiccan religious belief,) is NOT Karma, and furthermore is unique to the Wiccan religion and its various neo-Pagan cousins. ;) Though I actually like several Eastern teachings, I do not subscribe to the belief of Karma in the sense that many people do. I believe that for every action there is a reaction, and that good and bad are human concepts, not divine concepts. What one culture defines as "evil" another does not.
However, I do believe it is in your best interest to be ethical, charitable, and kind - not for seeking divine approval, per se, but rather because you should do unto others as you would have others do unto you.
Q: Will you tell me the recipie for (name of oil, incense, powder)?
A: You are free to email me and ask, but I don't just give away all my recipies on a whim. ;) I am very very occaisionally willing to part with one upon request, however. :D
Q: Is your advice free?
A: Yes, my advice on spells is free, and my non-psychic advice on your situation is free. I usually answer all reasonable questions. If you want me to write out pages of information, that could take awhile and may come with a fee (over four pages of info or something,) but I'm usually happy to give you advice. I will not act as your free google for my blog, I will not "choose a spell" for you (that's what the catagories are for,) but I will help otherwise.
If you want me to do a reading for you or cast a spell on your behalf, this probably isn't free. ;) You can find my paid services by clicking here, or by looking under Contact in the nav bar to your left.
Q: I think I have a ghost/entity in my home - can you help me?
A: Well, that's a toughie. If you are far away from where I live, I could get you in touch with someone who could help you. I could offer advice, too, but I am not able to travel long distances for that purpose.
Q: Are you a real person?
A: Yes, I am a real person. If you look in my blog there are even a few pictures of me. ;) I have always looked pretty much the same, except prior to puberty, my hair was much shorter, I was much shorter, and I wasn't so hourglass-shaped. I was also bald for about the first year of life. ;)
Please feel free to check the "Personal" section - you can see me really get effing ticked or just blab about nothing... I mean, if you are really interested in that. ;)
Q: Have you written a book or do you have any plans to write a book?
A: I am currently trying to finish a book for publication. When I have a date for its publication or when its published, I'll let you know. ;)
Q: What is this "Cat VS The Nut" business, or this stuff I keep reading about you that sounds like its suspiciously the product of the same author?
A: If you'll notice everything "bad" is dated 2009, early 2009, and its all from the same singular person. This blog has been up since 2004, and the current OriginalNinjaCat.com site has been at the host its at since 06, and was briefly hosted via Tripod while I fixed it up from 2005 or perhaps late 04 (it was a long time ago.) I have owned the domain of OriginalNinjaCat.com since 01 or 02, however its first incarnation was different.
So, here's what happened... Apparently some fellow calling himself "Dave from the UK," and other names on ROR, as well as holding sites from a "Frater Dantalion," or calling himself Martha and Barbara on other sites had found my name via Google. Seeing this he plugged me into his "Scammer list," having never met me. He claimed that I, who have never owned a video camera or had a site on YouTube was harrassing him via YouTube. I was alerted to this in mid February 2009, as is reflected on my blog. See "Cat VS The Nut," the post titled "Open Letter," first.
Figuring someone was posing as me, I confronted him so as to find out who was posing as me to bother someone else. His reaction was to change his "scam list," to say I've since removed YouTube accounts. He then posted more libellous trash about me, sent harrassing and threatening letters to me, and apparently believes I am a fellow named Trae Dorn in Wisconsin. I introduced myself to Trae after becoming acquainted with "Frater Dantalion," in mid February. Its interesting to note that I am a spellcaster for hire, and Trae believes most if not all people in my profession are scammers, which would probably mean we aren't apt to cross paths or be buddies with each other, having only in common that we practice spellcraft (different types, I'm not Wiccan,) and have the same stalker....everyone's favorite mentally unhealthy posuer, "Frater Dantalion."
Soon the "Frater Dantalion," in question was adding more threats and saying he "didn't care about me," and such things after threatening to ruin me, hack me, pose as me, post as me, etc. More or less everything has gone to the police. If you read any bad stuff about me, its all from this fellow, whatever he calls himself today. He's tried/is trying to hack my sites and make me miserable for simply asking if someone was posing as me, and telling him I've never been on YouTube.
The police took action against him (or at least the sudden ceasing of harrassment and threats which had been constant would tell me,) and apparently he's a well-known con-artist who takes on different identities to scam people out of their money. I decided not to persue civil litigation after I was made aware that there are several criminal complaints against the man, and I considered the situation heavily... I do not really wish to interact with a mentally ill criminal just to clear my name of something which is obviously a bunch of contrived bullshit about me to begin with. All existing complaints made about me are authored by him and can be traced back to a particular date. If someone is not smart enough to see this for themselves, I do not desire their business anyhow. ;)
This is the story behind the ROR and Cat VS The Nut, and all affiliated BS this fiasco has brought as of me posting this on Jan 10, 2010.
Q: Are you Cat Yrondwode, or are you the owner of the Lucky Mojo?
A: No, I'm not Cat Yronwode, just as Cat Y is not me. We live on different sides of the USA, and I am in no way affiliated with the Lucky Mojo Curio Co. Please do not call their store to find me, or email me in an effort to get ahold of Cat Y or to ask me Lucky Mojo customer service questions. I live on the other side of the country from the Lucky Mojo Curio Co, have never been in their store physically, and have a fear of flying so, considering I live in New Hampshire and they are located in California, I doubt I ever will go into their store. ;)
