Why did what we might call the 'new age' movement adopt these places?
No doubt that a lot of New age / Neo pagan beliefs about ancient monuments derive from Gerald Gardner , Margaret Murray and the Wiccan movement's adoption of them and their associated folklore .
Ethan Doyle White wrote “ a great paper “ Devil's Stones and Midnight Rites: Megaliths,Folklore, and Contemporary Pagan Witchcraft “ in the Folklore journal . http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/0015587X.2013.860766?journalCode=rfol20
Add a dash of Watkins' ley lines , which later became the unfalsifiable “Earth energies “ when the problems about the earlier “vision” became clear , a touch of ancient computing didn't go amiss either .
