Yes there is no 'concrete' evidence for much of the actual and specific original uses...but I find the votive aspect of folks' trips to sites and significant locales a hopeful sign that not all humanity thinks upto the Big Brother(C4) level and no further. That perhaps folk are looking for depth and reflection in their lives...although I have encountered my share of incredibly gullible new agers.

I'd say let people access the 'numinous' in their lives at their significant locales and acknowledge it by tokens/prayers etc. But I'd definitely go along with leaving all your plastics and nylons at home.
