The minutes of the Stonehenge Round Table meetings are a treasure trove of intriguing tit-bits.
In the latest minutes, under "Special Access", it was noted:
A Forum member reported that he had seen a group in the stones during the hours of darkness on 22nd June 2013. He enquired as to who this group were and why they were allowed in the stones at this time. He expressed concerns over their form of worship. ACTION: LB to look into this with NB and report back to member.
What concern?
It is reported that a group that was let into Stonehenge to greet the sunrise a few Sundays back (on Midsummers Day, not at the main solstice gathering) was heard from some distance away loudly chanting “Hail Satan”.
English Heritage's response?
During Managed Open Access for Summer Solstice at Stonehenge, we support all individuals and groups conducting their own forms of ceremony and celebration providing that they are mutually respectful and tolerant of one another.
Should we be surprised that even Satanists can claim Equal Rights? Just as long as they are respectful and tolerant?
Sadly, that probably rules a TME group out. We're just not respectful or respectable enough.
