Actually, it’s not un-ethical to divine on someone and scope out their intentions before they have access to you.
Please ask your ancestors before you invite someone into your home, let alone your life. Doing so helps you avoid unnecessary chaos.

New Age Spirituality drops the ball on protection (amongst other things) by pedaling this concept to others. It does nothing but make you vulnerable and unsafe.
Esp. if you’re someone who constantly struggles with two-faced friends and lovers. Please divine more.

Priests, conjurers, and other seasoned practitioners of indigenous traditions will teach you that you should be *consistently* divining. Especially whenever you’re interacting with others.
Why assume or listen to gossip when you can get the truth yourself?

Find a great divination tool(s) that will give you a solid yes/no system with your ancestors. Or sit on the mat of a seasoned practitioner and let them ask for you, especially if your own methods lead you around in circles.
Bottom line: ALWAYS feel comfortable seeking clarity.
