This should be filed under "the past isn't dead; it isn't even past": The London Times reports that there were 36,500 this year for the Solstice celebration at Stonehenge - when the usual barriers come down and you can actually stand amidst the standing stones. "Druids began their incantations, Wiccan priestesses drew their cowls tight against the damp morning air... " and the car park was filled by 3 a.m.
What the people left behind, though, suggests they weren't pantheists. A Times reader writes, "WHY DIDN'T YOU TAKE YOUR DAMN RUBBISH HOME WITH YOU? You left the place looking like a pigsty!"
