Exactly, or if you are an old enough, powerful enough, well trained enough, you can hide a lot of stuff. Actually when you think about it, wardens may have this skill because they do soul gaze as evidence a lot. I can see where they might not want to completely open themselves up to a warlock or some other evil person.. Knowledge is power and then if that person got off or escaped would potentially hold a lot over them..

Yes to the part where it does not give you everything (or really anything factually specific like vocation or genealogy), but I really dont think there is any way to actively Hide things during it, that's basically the whole Big Deal with the Sight and Soulgazes. A big clue to that for me is that an Angel's only choice was to Shut Down ghost Harry's Sight to protect him, he couldnt simply obfuscate his weapon.

There is no real control about what you see or not, for both parties. Though some things are possible as Margaret showed in blood rites.

That's a good point, Maggie was able to tie a message spell into it. And perhaps more relevant as a counter-argument to mine, Molly was able to initiate mental combat via a Soulgaze, which was in no small part all about Hiding from the other.

Red court vampires can do a lot of things when you try to soulgaze them.
