What's a Crat? AKA, Sevi, the Upstairs Agitator.

-

 

🐾 The Crat

Messenger of Mischief, Patron of Petty Revenge, and Devourer of Cheetos



Classification: Familiar Spirit / Lesser Trickster Entity
Elemental Alignment: Shadow & Smoke
Phase Association: New Moon
Offerings: Cheetos (crunchy preferred), warm spots on furniture, and the occasional sip of spilled coffee. Will commit utter mayhem and keep you out of it for chocolate and the occasional nip at your creepy uncle's ankles. 

🖤 Description

The Crat appears as a small, shadowy creature with feline grace and goblin wit. Its fur flickers between solid black and smoke, and its eyes gleam like dying embers or—depending on its mood—neon orange crumbs. It moves with a swagger of someone who knows it can get away with anything.

Though often mistaken for a stray cat or an afterimage in candlelight, those who listen closely can hear it muttering sarcasm under its breath, often directed at whoever just invoked it.

🐾 Sevi, the Upstairs Agitator

Personal Familiar of Dr. Angela, Whisperer of Chaos, and Patron Saint of “Turn That Noise Down”

Some witches call upon spirits of peace and harmony to settle disputes.
Sevi calls upon noise. Equal and opposite, artfully weaponized.

When the neighbors upstairs forget that gravity works both ways and decide to hold a furniture-stomping contest at 1 a.m., Sevi slips through the shadows, tail flicking, eyes glinting like candlelight on broken glass. Moments later, something strange happens:

The thuds turn to chaos.
A single chair scrapes endlessly across the floor.
The television volume develops a mind of its own.
And at least one participant suddenly forgets how to human for the next twenty minutes.

Witnesses describe a faint smell of cheese dust and mischief lingering in the air.

Sevi never overdoes it—oh no, they’re precise. They deliver aural justice with a symphonic sense of timing. A cabinet door slamming here, a mysterious tapping behind the wall there. It’s artistry.

đŸĒļ Field Notes

  • Summoning Conditions: New Moon, minor irritation, one Cheeto placed on a saucer with a single cat hair.

  • Manifestation Sign: Your own cat suddenly stares at the ceiling, tail twitching like an antenna.

  • Aftermath: The neighbors apologize by morning or mysteriously move within the lunar cycle.

Sevi does not bark, hiss, or growl—they snicker. A soft, smug sound you’ll hear from the dark corner of your room once the noise upstairs dies down. Every once in a while, they will utter their famous buzzword with a severe case of side eye "dumbass".

Offerings: Cheetos, a whisper of praise, and perhaps a midnight snack shared in silence.

Warning: Never overuse Sevi’s talents. They delight in chaos—but too much mischief, and you might find your own broom mysteriously clattering at 3 a.m.

đŸ•¯️ Temperament

The Crat is chaotic neutral with a caffeine problem. It thrives on the edges of ritual spaces—drawn to witches who curse with wit and bless with teeth. It enjoys music, late-night crafting, and emotionally charged muttering.

It’s not evil, per se. It’s just… motivated by the scent of revenge and processed cheese.

The Crat will deliver hexes, return malice to sender, or simply trip someone who’s been asking for it, but its loyalty is fleeting. Forget an offering, and it might redirect your spell toward your own shoelaces.

🔮 Magical Uses

  • Messenger of Hexes: Crats are known to “deliver” spells that require physical mischief. They don’t harm; they inconvenience spectacularly.

  • Protector of Familiars: Cats, especially black ones, adore Crats. They play together, conspire, and occasionally knock over the same candle in perfect unison. Ask Elvira Elizabeth Holmes-McIntire. Yes. Holmes. That Holmes.

  • Energy Disperser: The Crat thrives on stagnant anger. Feed it a Cheeto, name your grievance, and let it carry that irritation out of your energy field (and into someone’s sock drawer).

⚠️ Warnings

Never summon a Crat during daylight. They despise sunlight, productivity, and anyone who owns a planner.
Avoid spicy Cheetos—they make the Crat hyperactive, and it will spend the night racing through mirrors.
If you hear laughter in the walls after midnight, it’s not haunted. It’s just the Crat finding new ways to interpret “deliver this hex discreetly.”

🌑 Invocation

(to be whispered over a half-empty coffee cup and a small pile of snacks)

“Shadow-cat, cheese-dust thief,
Come on padded paws so brief.
Deliver what’s due, twist what’s fair,
Then vanish laughing into air.”

Notes: The Crat cannot be bound, but it can be bribed. If treated well, it will linger around your home like a roommate that doesn’t pay rent but occasionally bites your enemies.

đŸ”Ĩ The Torchbearers: A Call to the Witches Who Stayed

  This isn’t for the trend-chasers. This isn’t for the moon-phase influencers, the aesthetic covens, or the ones who skimmed a Llewellyn book and declared themselves a High Priestess on Tuesday. This is for the ones who stayed . The witches who ran public rituals and built community spaces on shoestring budgets. The ones who got their degrees in theology, anthropology, history—anything to understand the bones of what we do. The ones who studied by candlelight, held circles in basements and backyards, and never once filmed themselves doing it for clout. You know who you are. You’ve been looked down on for not dressing the part. For stepping outside in jeans and a t-shirt instead of flowing robes and Instagram filters. For walking through metaphysical shops and not needing to announce your power—because it lives in your bones. You’ve had fifteen-year-olds talk over you on social media, dismissing your decades of practice because they watched a tarot video or learned abo...

  Missing My Circle Under a Distant Moon There’s a certain kind of homesickness that doesn’t have a zip code. I’ve been thinking about my circle back in Kansas City—the women and men who held space with me, cast with me, wept, and laughed under the same sky with me. The ones who passed the salt with the tequila with the exact same reverence as a sacred chalice, who knew the exact moment a spell had landed by the goosebumps on their arms. My witches. My soul family. I miss them more than I expected. It hits me in strange ways. Like when I see the moon at her fullest, glowing behind the evergreens here in Washington, and I instinctively reach for my phone to text someone in the group— "Are you feeling this too?" But we’re scattered now. Different time zones. Different lives. Still tethered, but not in the same room, not around the same altars or fire pits. Back in Kansas City, we’d gather around tables cluttered with gaming decks, tarot decks, bundles of drying herbs, and ...

Who the Hell Am I?

đŸŒŋ Who the Hell Am I? I’m a Gen X witch with dirt under my nails, fire in my gut, and a sharp tongue that’s survived decades of bullshit—and isn’t done talking yet. I walk the crooked path with a pocket full of herbs, a heart full of ancestral memory, and a deep, simmering refusal to play nice for the sake of anyone’s comfort. My practice is rooted in earth medicine and rebellion—because I believe healing and resistance are intertwined. I blend old-world magic with modern-day grit, call on the spirits, trust the plants, and speak truth even when my voice shakes (and trust me, sometimes it does—rage and grief both live here). I’m an herbalist by calling, an activist by necessity, and a smart-ass by birthright. I don’t do love-and-light unless it’s flickering over the ruins of outdated systems. I honor the sacred, but I don’t bow to gurus. I honor the ancestors, but I don’t romanticize the past. I honor the plants, the land, the stories—and I try not to take myself too seriously in th...
