Mabon and Ostara are celebrated by neopagans, including
Wiccans, and some traditional pagans, and somewhat
by people of Celtic culture. However, I think that druids
place(d?) more emphasis on the cross-quarter days (Imbolc,
Beltane, Lughnasadh, and Samhain) than the quarter
days (Ostara, Litha, Mabon, and Yule). The eight days
together are known as The Wheel of the Year.
