Man, there’s a lot of pagan “holidays”
happiness to you
Not really, it just seems that way because they are unfamiliar to a lot of people and they have different names depending on their tradition.
A lot of Neo-pagans use the "Wiccan" wheel of the year which is kind of a hodgepodge of Holiday names for the solstices and equinoxes mostly directly lifted from Irish and we have the same names for some of the months on any Irish calendar sold or given away at the local gas station or Chinese restaurant (sometimes I like to point out whenever someone suggests the word "Samain" is an "evil word?" Oh really, I agree the month of October can be ghastly but I didn't the name itself was evil in Irish or English lol
Other "Pagan" groups like "Heathens" (Norse/Germanic) traditions may use other names for pretty much the same holidays either using the Anglo-Saxon, Scandinavian, or even inventions of names made in the middle of the 20th century by groups like the Asatru Folk Assembly (who made up a calendar that a lot of people think is historical but really isn't).
Here is the "Wiccan" Wheel of the Year - which is extremely close to the Northern European agricultural year (and for good reasons) Irish terms and all.
Here is one of a number of different "Asatru" versions - mostly used by Northern Tradition folks in the USA; some places in the Germanic world for example still don't celebrate "Mayday" in the same way as Brits and Americans do - it is simply too cold to do so - they recognize the May Eve but the year we were in Sweden for it, the bonfires were made in the middle of a blizzard.
So many of the customs like "dancing the Maypole" that Americans and British Pagans (or folk dancers) associate with Mayday happen at Midsummer in Scandinavia.
Other festivals like "Ostara" (early Spring holiday before Easter was adopted) didn't happen at all further North than parts of Germany (in pre-Christian times) because it was too cold and people would just have been planting, not finished with the planting.
Mabon or Fall Equinox was the FIRST HARVEST here in Ireland/England, Southern Germany, Italy, etc but in Scandinavia, it might be more like that full harvest festival.
This was followed by October which is usually called "Slaughter Month" in the Old Germanic/Scandinavian calendars because that was the feasting that took place when the crops were in and the excess farm animals butchered and put up for the Winter (so the only time a lot of people got fresh meat to eat).
In Ireland, most of the British Isles and Southern Europe; the harvest continues usually up until the end of October - aka Samain, the time between "life and death" or "darkness and light."
