Yes that makes sense. My point is that modern well visitors simply don't believe that the wells are holy. In Ireland it is different as the Christianisation was very early and thorough and belief seems genuine. Lourdes is another place where people go who really believe in the healing powers. Elswhere there is litter hung in the trees, fake paganism and the one real remaning element - people still throw coins into wells for luck. That belief is so strong that you will see coins thrown into plastic wells at motorway service stations!
