but modern pagans don't own these sites either - I have a suspicion that the people who built Avebury had very specific metaphysical beliefs and wouldn't necessarily be happy to think that their creation was being used only for post-religious 'contemplation about life the universe and everything' or maybe they wouldn't care - who knows?
where does it say that appreciation of ancient sites should be solitary and silent and religiously non-affiliated?
it was sunday morning and there is a church in the middle of the circle and it would've been over fairly quickly - surely there's room for a variety of religious expression at these places as long as no one tries to dominate and make it exclusive to them
