“Seven portraits of Her Majesty were projected onto Stonehenge to mark the anniversary. But for druids, this is a sacred place, so isn’t this act offensive? Jeremy asked Vine.
In response, hundreds of subscribers admitted they saw the action as an insult to nature worshipers and performing rituals at Stonehenge on the days of the summer solstice.
“As a pagan who has visited this ‘church’ several times with an incredibly powerful energy, I am disgusted at the way it is used,” admitted one commentator.
Another subscriber noted that Stonehenge should be treated like any other place that is sacred to followers of a particular religion.
“Many religions and cultures believe that this or that place should be holy. I don’t understand why Stonehenge had to be different. If you didn’t do it in the church, don’t do it anywhere else,” he said.
The comments also urged the authors of the project to pay homage to the pagan ancestors of the modern British who placed StoWhenge stones even before the Norman Conquest.
