flying through on this Imbolc eve.

Anything concerning Serpents, Fire, Candles, Milk, Purification, songs about a girl called Bridget, Snowdrops and so-on allowed. All and any genres please.

For starters I offer up Cocteau Twins 'Serpentskirt' from 'Milk and Kisses':

Though to be pedantic I'd hang on until the 7th for Imbolc. So stick around, CS - we need your POV.

More 'Fire' theme from Alban's 'Gorillaz' who IMHO, beat the boring Britpop pants off of anything that Blur ever did:

Fire Comeing out of the Monkey's Head

CS, it took me until this post to remember what Imbolc was....but I'm still a little confused. Is imbolc one of those cross-quarter days my wife talks about? Ah, yes - look here for information about cross-quarter days.
She was going to build a bonfire to celebrate.

-Joe-

P.S. I don't see anything to complain about. I just got grumpy about the thirteen "5 Favorite" threads....
