"Whosoever therefore thou art that now desireth to study this science, keep silence and constantly conceal within the secret closets of your Religious breast, so holy a determination; for (as Mercury saith) to publish to the knowledge of many a speech throughly filled with so great majesty of the Deity, is a sign of an irreligious spirit; and Divine Plato commanded, that holy and secret mysteries should not be divulged to the people; Pythagoras also and Porphyrius consecrated their followers to a Religious silence.."
-Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa
Anybody who really knows anything about this stuff wouldn't and shouldn't really be talking about it in the open because if you do, you are devaluing the power of your operations, and profaning the names of the daemon/spirits you work with by sharing them with the uninitiated.
