Cemeteries as Meeting Places for Occult Practitioners

Is it appropriate for a group to meet in a cemetery on a regular basis, be it for ritual or whatever they choose to do? In my own opinion, I think no. I think it's very disrespectful, considering the purpose for such ground.

I know I don't like it when my children jump and move around on my bed when I try to sleep and they're awake (pregnancy can be very tiring). I can't imagine how bad it must be to be a deceased person having hundreds of people trample on your resting place day after day, much less have a group who purposely gathers on your resting place night after night because they feel obligated because they are occult practitioners.

I don't think it's appropriate at all for anyone within the occult community to be gathering in a cemetery, for whatever reason (other than to pay respect for a deceased loved one). There are LOTS of secluded places in the world for them to gather that doesn't disturb the resting places of deceased persons, so why would anyone think it IS an appropriate meeting place? Simply because it's "occult-ish"? Expected? Or just a place to hang out?

For one thing, it's illegal to enter a cemetery after sunset in a great number of cemeteries in North America. Is going to jail really enough to risk going in for a gathering, and doing something that could easily be done in a public park or even one's own back yard, simply because you believe a cemetery is the place for occult practitioners to be?

Doesn't that play right into stereotypes when people go into a cemetery to practice, say Witchcraft? It's almost cliché, if you ask me. Cemeteries are also frequently patrolled by security and police officers for instances such as this, so why take the risk? I doubt they'd buy your claim of free religious practice. They'd say the same thing I said above, do it someplace else. While Witchcraft is not illegal (at least in North America)...trespassing is, and it IS trespassing especially when there are clear signs set up all over cemeteries that state, "Cemetery Closed After Sunset" (or insert time here, but typically sunset).

Don't risk going to jail simply because you want to live a stereotype. If you want to gather with like-minded people and perform occult workings, do it someplace that won't involve illegal actions. It's not worth it.
