This anecdote demonstrates just how superficial the "faith" of these self-styled pagans really is.
No self-respecting pagan of old would have overlooked the correct dates of a solstice or equinox, for any reason.

No self-respecting pagan of old would have overlooked the correct dates of a solstice or equinox, for any reason. No, they would have used Stonehenge for its original purpose...an analog computer for calculating solstices and equinoxes.
I suppose in some jungle somewhere, a witch doctor is still trying to figure out what to do with a lost-and-found HP35. In like manner, modern primitives are having the same problems with REALLY old models on non-solstices.

No self-respecting pagan of old would have overlooked the correct dates of a solstice or equinox, for any reason. They seemed to have omitted the sacrifice, too. What's a solstice without blood?
