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. -- David Dalton dalton@nfld.com https://www.nfld.com/~dalton (home page) https://www.nfld.com/~dalton/dtales.html Salmon on the Thorns (mystic page) “And the cart is on a wheel; And the wheel is on a hill; And the hill is shifting sand; And inside these laws we stand" (Ferron)
