Years ago, I was there for the summer solstice. Back then, you could get right up to the stones. Between the music and atmosphere it was one of the few truly spiritual experiences I've ever had.
While it was likely nothing like the original use of Stonehenge, it was likely FAR closer than the sterile viewing we can do now. It's the difference between experiencing a music festival, and looking at a map of it.
Do enough drugs in an Asda car park and you can have a spiritual experience
Not in the same way. It plays on the deeper phyche. The level of sheer 'connection' is something I've not experienced before nore since. It akin to the difference between an expensive meal, by a highly skill chef and a Tesco value ready meal. Calorically they might look the same, but the experience is something completely different.
