It is far better to call them for permission. Less of your people disappear that way. Plus, it's just polite. Also, you don't have to tell them all the details...
Involving "muggles" is a final option, but is sometimes necessary. And it happens more than the Shroud is comfortable with. The key is in getting them not to tell people about it.
The worst? Undisclosed locations start having less room for "guests"... or they straight fail and all life as we know it is devoured by qliphothic entities. (Yes, that is synonymous with Lovecraftian horror in the AB cosmos, one of a good number of syncretisms floating around in the background here).

Oh dear, you're positing a consensus subjective cosmology, I.E. where too many people knowing of and believing in things that go bump in the night will shatter the world as people know it? I suppose if you really need a non-abusive reason to keep most people ignorant of magic that works.

From the atheist perspective, God doesn't exist... except that He does in the minds of His (Her?) followers, large volumes of text, architecture and other culture. Understanding the assumptions and belief structure that a system of thought operates in is necessary to understanding and predicting it, whether we're talking about military doctrine, religious doctrine, political doctrine, or what the heck is going on in a work of fiction. :)
