It's not that the secrecy gives the ritual it's value, but it does contribute to the uniqueness of your experience. It's the level of the organization that unites you as a group and excludes others.

I agree with you for the most part. But, I do agree that I can live with the idea of someone reviewing rituals for historical reasons and being a person who handles the information with a reasonable level of respect. Versus a person who wants to obtain ritual to blab it everywhere, criticize it, try to spite or harm an organization, try to be a "perp," etc. If someone outside my organization were going to be aware of my ritual, I'd rather have it be one of the legitimate respectful collectors. (Though I'd still rather have it be no one outside my organization at all!)
