If you're attending a ritual/invocation and are told to not leave until it's over, please don't leave, especially in the middle of the invocation. If you're not sure you can stay, or if you're not serious about what's going on, if you're treating it like a science experiment, a joke, or amusement, just don't go. It's rude, draining, and not good for health. This work isn't a game. Dealing with the public, I already had additional wards in place, including keeping the attendees safe from hitchhikers, even if they were to invite an entity into their space for "proof" or "fun". When a couple of people left in the middle of the invocation last night, the snap of energy wasn't that bad for me--not as bad as it could've been. But they didn't have the training or protection that I do. I hope yall grounded when you left. I hope you're not feeling like garbage today. If you are, please ground and drink plenty of water. ...
