The video discusses the concept of vetting, which is a careful and critical examination of something to ensure it has the required personality, trustworthiness, and qualities. It also touches on the practice of vetting deities and spirits, which involves covering one’s head or hair with hats, scarves, bandannas, wigs, or similar articles.
Witchcraft, despite its many variations and ambiguities, is based on the belief that a closer connection to oneself is necessary to investigate the energy that envelopes us. This principle is applied to Gardnerian Wicca, Feri Witchcraft, and other witchcraft practices. Vetting methods can be intense, as they can hurt the spirit’s feelings.
In this episode, we discuss the upcoming Solar Eclipse, the King of Cups, and vetting sources in the witchcraft community. A longtime teacher of witchcraft, meditation, and magic in the mid-Atlantic, she is a longtime teacher of witchcraft, meditation, and magic.
The video also touches on the powerful arts of Soul and the vetting process, which involves working with deities and spirits. Many people who identify as witches follow a pagan-based faith, such as Wicca, which is probably the most popular.
In conclusion, the video provides valuable insights into the vetting process and the various aspects of witchcraft, including the vetting process, spiritwork, and deitywork. By understanding these aspects, individuals can better navigate the complex world of witchcraft and find the right resources and tools for their spiritual journey.

Why do people get vetted?
Personnel vetting is a government process that ensures the trustworthiness of individuals working for or on behalf of the government. It involves a background investigation to assess an individual’s ability to protect the nation’s people, property, information, and critical missions. The depth of the investigation increases with the level of responsibility and trust a position requires. Agencies must inform applicants and employees of the investigation requirement and the level of investigation, and with the individual’s consent, the government checks their employment and criminal history. Agencies have discretion in starting the job before the background investigation is completed.

How to vet a romantic partner?
To understand someone’s personality, ask deep, meaningful questions about their values, goals, and past relationships. Open and honest conversations can reveal their priorities and problem-solving skills. Meet their friends and family to understand their interactions and values. Observe their behavior in different social settings to gain a fuller picture of their personality and values. Look for red flags, such as inconsistent behavior, lack of communication, or disrespectful comments.
Pay attention to how they talk about past relationships, including non-verbal cues, as these can indicate deeper issues that might surface later in the relationship. Trust your instincts and don’t ignore anything that feels off.

Rigorous employee screening is crucial for workplace safety, legal compliance, and maintaining an employer’s reputation. It can reduce staff turnover and associated costs, putting an employer ahead in workforce development and management. The latest Background Screening Index (BSI) reports by Managed Integrity Evaluation (MIE) show a significant increase in employee embellishment of qualifications and employment experience from 2022 to 2023.
As South Africa’s labor market becomes more challenging to find employment, more employees are embellishing their qualifications in their CVs while being dishonest about past experiences and backgrounds.
The most requested checks through MIE’s system are criminal background checks and checks for the validity of a potential employee’s accompanying documentation. Therefore, well-prepared employers should prioritize employee screening and vetting.

To obtain DV clearance, employees must attend a vetting interview, where trained officers build an open and honest relationship with the candidate.
The vetting officers are professional, discreet, and compassionate, and their information is held securely separate from recruitment information. If granted clearance, it marks the beginning of a constructive relationship with the vetting team, and MI5 will continue to work with the candidate to manage their clearance.
as a librarian, I have seen this phenomenon of people regurgitating previously published information time and time again. What often happens is when a book is doing well “now” then 20 other books will come out just copying that one hoping to cling to its immediate success. So definitely look for the OG
Lot of books in the archaeology sector contains a lot of valuable information. For instance, if you are interested in the celtic religion and magical customs you should turn to Anne Ross or Miranda Green (both Phd:s). So don’t just check the history section at your book store. The really good and ancient stuff is in the archaeology section. 🙂
I always look at a book’s reference or further reading section. You can tell a lot about a book by the quality, breadth, and age of the references. If a book has no references or only 1 or 2 sources or only cites the author’s own work that’s a red flag to me. If an author insists their way or only one way to do something is correct that also raises a flag.
Thank you for this article! One thing about all the fake witchcraft books on Amazon: that’s another reason to shop with actual bookstores. It’s not that all the books you’ll find in bookstores are going to be good, but at least they will be respectably published, and not just copy/pastes from other sources!
Can we please just get a full hour long bloopers article of you! Or just start a third website with all the articles like the ending to this one?!!!!! Pleeeeease I don’t think I could ever get enough of it. 💚 “What is wrong with me?!”… “What am I doing?!” I imagine most of us say these things to ourselves daily.
As a 60-something crone new to actually practicing the craft, I am very leery of using social media as a reliable source for anything other than leads and pointers for deeper information. That said, your website is one of my favorite starting points because you are very knowledgeable and I trust your research and recommendations. In fact, my witchy library has grown more from your recommendations than from any other source. Thank you 🙏
YES! This is so necessary, this should be in the new witch guidebook 😀 I think a lot of people, me included, new and old, ask for reqs from witches we trust because this process is so difficult and exhausting, even for someone who’s good at research and evaluating sources and all that study stuff (esp if you can’t pick up and look at the book before deciding whether to buy it). But it’s important to keep in mind, even if you really respect and trust a particular Pagan/witch, their interests, path, and study preferences may be different from yours, so their reqs are an excellent starting point, but nothing replaces knowing how to select and evaluate resources for yourself, at least eventually. P. S. Hearth you look like a dark empress today and I’m living for it
You make some excellent points in this article — many of which apply to ALL research, not just the witchy variety. Bias in source material is an especially common problem, because if one limits their sources (or only has access to limited resources) then the quality, style, phrasing, etc. of a particular author can make their work overshadow the work of others regardless of the actual truth/value/correctness of the content. Online sources can be the dodgiest of all… and (no insult intended to anyone) doing one’s research only on, say, TikTok is a recipe for disaster when it comes to getting things right. If references are given, check them; if books are mentioned, check them; and if something sounds oddly familiar or out-of-bounds in an online source, search for it. Case in point: I’m doing research for a book, and regularly end up laughing out loud when checking different websites because I frequently come across copies of the same text — complete with errors in spelling, grammar, and formatting. (I generally try to go by the oldest publlication/creation date, if available, for actual entry into my bibliography, and ignore the rest as later copies; otherwise I just list the one that shows the most signs of someone actually trying to fix the errors.) Also, thank you for a truly epic set of bloopers! <8-D (If it makes you feel any better, I've been editing my next podcast for almost a week and am maybe halfway through...)
Much thanks for this. I have, weirdly enough, been collecting books on these subjects for years before it clicked for me that I’m already practicing witchcraft (it was long enough that all my siblings had a good chuckle when I confessed to them my epiphany, not meanly, just the way siblings do when they want to say “I told you so” or “took you long enough”). I do appreciate the guide on how to select books in a more consciously level for my further research, especially now that I’m actively practicing my craft with the idea of what I am and am doing (it was mostly subconscious ideas and habits I was doing before, things that just “made sense” to me and so I did them or thought a certain way). But I want to understand how others practice so I can better understand why they do what they do and compare it to how I experience and do things and think the way I do. Not in a way of “I’m right they are wrong” but as a way to glean the commonality and see if maybe their way might actually be a better fit for me. Also just appreciate understanding people better. Anyway this was just my thoughts. And my thanks for the article! It’s definitely appreciated!!
I realize my comment might not fit but here goes. One reason science has a peer review process is because it’s pretty good at separating popular or fad ideas from really great ideas. I’m definitely not saying peer review is perfect. But peer review, over time, does work. And let’s be real, YouTube, Amazon, Google, etc. use algorithms to guide viewers to “most liked” or something like that. Most liked isn’t necessarily the correct thing to reference. So some random thing from a some “no one” may actually be the best source.
I love that you have an existential crisis at the beginning of multiple articles you’ve made haha. So glad I saw this article! I’m in an online coven and they have a book club about once a month. I haven’t been researching the books as thoroughly, and I was really disappointed with the last book we did (I really need to actually listen to my gut). Will be saving this and putting more of the tips into practice for future purchases
as always the content in your website is amazing! But can we just take a quick second to appreciate how amazing this article quality is and the editing too! 🤩 your website has grown so much and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you. Thanks for all that you do for this community ♥️ I also want to add that you look so stunning! I love your makeup so much! Not a lot of people can pull of a black lip the way you do wow!
There’s a couple of websites that review (specifically witchcraft/pagan) books that I particularly like so when I’m looking for a book on a topic I like to see if there are any reviews on books I’m looking at/what books people recommend and why. Also I agree that just because a book isn’t what you are looking doesn’t mean it isn’t good. I’ve found immense value in books about specific folk witchcraft traditions and the like even though it wasn’t my particular avenue of practice. Those books often can show you where a certain modern practice is derived from originally when cross referenced so I would actually recommend reading about other practices.
In my case I have to work with what I find, it is extremely difficult to find viable material, much of what I found was in a bookstore at the metro station. To assess the use of what I learned in college about fonts, look at the cover and read back, if is possiblethe read the summary too. If you find strange words that compromise the text, don’t buy. And directions are always good.
There’s one particular publisher of Wiccan books who seems to be the most recommended, yet I’ve not enjoyed a single book I’ve read from them. There was one that I was quite surprised that it wasn’t too bad. I can usually tell it’s from them if I read a bit before I check who it’s from. They’re all pretty much the same with a huge emphasis on doing no harm. It turned me off Wicca for a long time. But I came back to Wicca and am thoroughly enjoying it. I simply avoid that publisher’s books. I don’t believe in the harm none thing. It’s absolutely impossible and I don’t even consider it good. Obviously as a general guideline it’s not bad, but there are plenty of exceptions. I won’t be speaking words of disempowerment over my tools when I consecrate them. I can see why a lot of witches don’t associate with Wicca because of this. I think it’s just some garbage hanging around from a time when witches were persecuted and we had to convince Christians that we’re not evil. But now it seems as silly as my parents advice on dealing with bullies when they told me to turn the other cheek like Jesus would. I’m reminded of the advice on how to be a gentleman. In order to be a gentleman, you need to first be a man who is capable of acting brutish, but make the decision to be gentle. Being weak and vulnerable doesn’t make one a gentleman. I think it’s the same with witchcraft. Being capable of causing harm but having the self control not to do so unnecessarily is true power. I’m really glad to hear other witches these days saying “Do no harm but take no shit” and talking about exceptions such as what is necessary for your own survival like eating and defence.
Hearth, What about university lecture Dvds on Witchcraft ? I’ve found that Terror of History,Secrets of the Occult & Paganism are very good lectures …The professors know what they’re talking about Also The Witch craft Dvds from the history website are very good Other Witchcraft authors are DJ Conway,Edain McCoy and others are very trustworthy… Or in the biography of the author..
Hearth, How about getting your ex boyfriend/ lover back with a spell ? I’ve seen ads for this on line When comes to a certain Culture ( Slavic in my case) I would be more inclined to look for an author who is of the same ancestral back ground as myself… because 10 times out of 10… she has done the research more in depthly than other authors who aren’t Slavic & has a very good grasp on the practices of magick in that area of the world .
Thank you so much for this informative article! Also a little off topic but if anyone has insight I’d be open to and grateful for their wisdom; on the pink moon I did a simple banishing with petitions and I noticed where I buried my remnants has grown fungi. If anyone has experienced this or knows what this means I’d much appreciate some wisdom. 🙂
