It sucks.
The hoods and cloaks are claustrophobic and hot. They don't serve any food. There's a lot of chanting and singing in Latin.
Everyone has to do this choreographed routine involving raising their arms at the right time and marching to different places and standing still.

It's kind of cool when the dude spontaneously catches on fire until they start walking between the acolytes and giving their 'blessing.'
Then there's the week of lost time afterwards where you have no idea what your body is being used for, or even which entity is using it. Almost got fired one time for that.
And you're bound to ruin a few outfits with random blood stains, tears, dirt marks.
