In 4.14 Goodbye Iowa, Willow tells Tara about the demon-finding spell:
“When the potion mixes and Thespia is called, it creates this mist over the parts where the demons are. It even makes different colours for different breeds.”
She then embarks on the spell:
“Thespia, we walk in shadow, walk in blindness. You are the protector of the night. Thespia, goddess, ruler of all darkness, we implore you… open a window to the World of the Underbeing.”
In Greek mythology, Thespia was the daughter of the River God Asopus and his wife Metope. The city of Thespiae was named after her.

I think there should be a continuity point on this episode.
When Willow and Tara are performing the demon-locating spell, Tara deliberately sabotages it. No reason is given for this at the time, but it’s because Tara believes that she is part demon and that the spell will give her away. We later learn that she isn’t a demon at all in season five’s “Family”.
