Patrick Harpur, Daimonic Reality: A Field Guide to the Otherworld
When the Greeks desired to construct a bridge across a stream, they begged the river deity to pardon this deed of man for which they atoned by offering up to him a sacrificial libation of wine. In ancient German lands, an offense against a living tree was expiated by the shedding of the offender's blood. Today’s mankind sees only childish superstition in those who attend to the planetary currents. He forgets that the interpreting of apparitions was a way of scattering blooms around the tree of an inner life, which shelters a deeper knowledge than all of science: the knowledge of the world-weaving power of an all-embracing love. Only when this love has been renewed in mankind will the wounds inflicted by the matricidal spirit be healed.

One way, then, of regarding luminous apparitions is as images of the soul projected by the soul itself. Jung also remarked on the frequency with which many such apparitions appeared, representing a disintegration and fragmentation of the psyche. These can be seen as "partial souls" which may appear in quite ordinary circumstances. One of his patients dreamt that many shining spheres were hanging in the curtains of her room. Jung interpreted these as split-off fragments of the psyche which were seeking to be reintegrated into the personality in order to attain or restore psychic wholeness. Furthermore, he knew that as long as these fragments remain in a state of projection or "exteriorized," they can produce all kinds of parapsychological phenomena.
