Spiritual and other things surrounding this place (8)
I believe the answer is:
ethereal
'spiritual' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'and other things surrounding this place' is the wordplay.
'and other things' becomes 'etal' (I've seen this before).
'surrounding' is an insertion indicator.
'this place' becomes 'here' (I've seen this in other clues).
'etal' placed around 'here' is 'ETHEREAL'.
(Other definitions for ethereal that I've seen before include "Heavenly - fairy-like" , "Delicate and perfect" , "Airy; heavenly" , "Warm approval" , "Fine" .)
