Author’s Notes
On the name “Imbolc.”
Imbolc is a pagan festival on 2 February that marks the beginning of spring from the Celtic Fringe, specifically Ireland. With the introduction of Christianity, 2 February became Candlemas or the “mass of candles.” Sometimes, it is considered a day of ‘light in winter,’ hence the title of this fic.
Also, 2 February is now known as St. Brigid’s Day and is celebrated in Ireland.
The name was chosen because “Imbolc” is associated with light and as the niece of Lucius Malfoy and the daughter of Lux Kingsley Black (“Lucius” and “Lux” meaning “light”), it seemed like an obvious choice (coupled with its pagan roots).
The character of Imbolc was born 2 February 1980.
Why Taylor Swift??
It’s actually quite simple, really. I was just listening to TS on repeat when I wrote “Winter’s Light.” — I was also listening to “Angel,” by Theory of a Deadman. As such, the fic was almost named “Angel,” but Imbolc isn’t quite angelic…
