Many modern Pagans view West Kennet Long Barrow as a "temple" and use it for their rituals.[59] Some see it as a place of the ancestors where they can engage in "vision quests" and other neo-shamanic practices.[59] Others have seen it as a womb of the Great Goddess,[60] and as a sort of living entity.[56] The winter solstice has been a particularly popular occasion for Pagans to visit.[56]
