I dunno - maybe it's still sacred to some... I like it, anyway... :o)

I just think people need to seriously think about what they're doing. Is clagging their shrine up with their crud an act of ritual or worship? I think that is probably is, to them anyway, although rather misguidedly so... I'm not sure it IS pagans, as most of them respect that you can't just put some crappy bit of plastic or metal in a spring, or in a tree, or on the ground that won't biodegrade...

It's probably people doing what they think are pagan rituals, and getting it horribly wrong.

Like the people that burn candles in places like WKLB, they probably don't think they're causing any harm. The notice boards EH have put up are pretty flash, with little bits of information on them already - it wouldn't hurt to put a little bit MORE info on them to help protect these places. It'll save them a lot of work in the long run... And then we won't have the possibility of these places being closed to the public.
