Utter secrecy is needed exactly because the normals, if they came to know about the occult, would be scared enough to stomp the "monsters" out _and_ powerful enough to actually do it.
Of course there is the occasional mage who does believe in the much higher power that would be available if only he found the right spell/gate/transplanar dimension etc. For the time being these have always failed one way or another, but you can never tell...
I favor what I think the book calls "the shattered Cabal" myself, or some sort of hybrid with the groups in Voodoo.
