Having had extensive discussions on this subject on here before I am only too happy to discuss the fact that I am a Druid and that I make use of sacred megalithic sites in practising Druidry.

I do not pretend to be using these sites in the way their creators did, but regard the use of pre-christian sites for ritual, under an open sky, to be one of the truly positive experiences of practising my beliefs.

The only real difference in ceremonial practice at such places is that if the ritual is being carried out in a circle, such as Avebury or the Rollrights, then no circle is cast or uncast at the start or close of the ritual.............basically because one is already present.

The other crucial principle is that we leave the place as we found it. In the 19th Century some druid cremations were, I believe, buried at Stonehenge. No Pagan I know, or would have anything to do with, would ever leave such a permanent trace at any such site.

You can't say fairer than that! I think that could well be QED on that subject! One's own beliefs are one's own business. Well put, CW!
