Ah, I see your point. I agree, it would be impossible. What is a "genuine" pagan? A paid-up member of the Pagan Federation? Or a third generation hedge witch? Or a hammer-carrying Odinist? In fact, should Odinists be allowed access to Stonehenge, considering that the Norse tradition isn't native to these lands?

Simplest answer is not to be anal and uptight about it, continue to allow the solstice celebration, and encourage respectful behaviour.


I agree with the spirit of what you are saying but playing devil's advocate (again) am I correct in thinking there is some sort of waiting list to see the winter solstice sunrise at Newgrange. Slightly different as it would impossible to allow large numbers there.

Seeing the winter/summer solstice sunrise at an ancient site which was probably/possibly constructed for the event is indeed a great privilege and one I hope to witness at least once in my life (haven't done so yet).
