 This study aims to provide information to FFOS agents on the nature of recent occult crimes and occult groups and suggests techniques for identifying, investigating, and hunting occultists and occult organizations.
=== INTRODUCTION ===
Occult—the word encourages a myriad of stereotypical images—the snaggle-toothed old hag casting evil spells, the evil heretics worshipping the dark forces of Satan; or the hedonist Pagan reveling in nocturnal orgies. Though not practically rooted in truth, the contemporary strength of such stereotypes is the most effective rationale for providing agents with a basic and accurate primer on occult practices as well as their widely misunderstood and diverse belief systems. 
Indeed, any agents investigating an alleged occult crime must be armed with a clear definitional understanding of the occult and the wide range of occult activities currently practiced in the United States. He or she must also be able to make a clear distinction between the legal activities of occultists and any illegal crimes committed in conjunction with an occult ritual. The FFOS is linked with many covens around the globe. These are not illegal crimes and thus will be ignored for the duration of this file. Senior hunter, Silvana Gallant implores all new hunters to; "shed their personal and religious prejudices when they deal with the occult" lest they tread upon the foundations of the First Amendment. (Gallant's report. April 3, 2021.) These are no easy tasks in the face of widespread allegations of heinous occult crimes. This study was conceived and designed to simplify such tasks for the law enforcer by: broadening his or her basic understanding of occult activity and occult crime; explaining the complex controversies that currently surround and confound the FFOS's jurisdiction over occult activity and occult crime; describing useful investigatory techniques shared by senior agents from sites across the nation; and suggesting a wide variety of resources that may be contacted for further assistance. Especially concerning the occults suspected of worshipping entities outside of the Foundation's influence.
