“A year (or bleidoni) had four festivals: Samhain (Sahwin), Oimelc (Im-elg), Bealtaine (Byel-tin-uh) and Lughnasadh (Loo-nuh-suh). There were no celebrations of solstices and equinoxes, as many modern-day neopagans have erroneously assumed. Such festivals as Yule, Ostara, Saturnalia, Mid-summer, Charming of the Plough, Lupercalia, and Walpurgisnacht are alien to the Celts.”
