I should have phrased it differently.

Don't get me wrong, Ritual is performed behind closed doors and no one's ever allowed to watch.

HOWEVER, in the event that a non-member just so happens sees what's being performed, there's no cause to freak out because they haven't heard the symbolism and meanings.

I think the topic came about because someone asked if those performing Ritual were allowed to be seen outside the room in Ritual attire PRIOR to the ceremony.

I hope that makes sense and NO I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP.
