   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.
