Wotan
Iedzerot (sulu) ar radiniekiem un domājot tēmu lielajai vasaras ballei, kaut ko (pragmatisku iemeslu dēļ) atkal un joprojām saistītu ar Vāgneru, izdomāju, ka būtu ģeniāli īsi pēc mūsu simtgades dziesmu svētkiem uztaisīt balli par tēmu (mūzika, tērpi utt.) vācu tautiskuma atdzimšana. Tik ģeniāli, ka to gandrīz neviens nesaprastu un varētu pat sanākt nepatikšanas. Tā ka atteiksimies no šīs idejas. Ar rūgtu seju, šķību smīnu pārlasu K.G. Junga pravietisko "Votanu" (1936) -- Junga pēkšņā atgriešanās rietumu intelektuālās dzīves arēnā arī tomēr prasa vismaz dažus komentārus, ja ne vasaras balli ar uzvedumiem un priekšlasījumiem -- bet viņam kaut kādā nozīmē ir taisnība, tādā nozīmē, ka viņš mēģina runāt par kaut ko, kas ir "reāls", lai gan to ļoti grūti inteliģenti formulēt -- ; atvainojos, ka angliski:

A mind that is still childish thinks of the gods as metaphysical entities existing in their own right, or else regards them as playful or superstitious inventions. From either point of view the parallel between Wotan redivivus and the social, political and psychic storm that is shaking Germany might have at least the value of a parable. But since the gods are without doubt personifications of psychic forces, to assert their metaphysical existence is as much an intellectual presumption as the opinion that they could ever be invented. Not that “psychic forces” have anything to do with the conscious mind, fond as we are of playing with the idea that consciousness and psyche are identical. This is only another piece of intellectual presumption. “Psychic forces” have far more to do with the realm of the unconscious. Our mania for rational explanations obviously has its roots in our fear of metaphysics, for the two were always hostile brothers. Hence, anything unexpected that approaches us from the dark realm is regarded either as coming from outside and, therefore, as real, or else as an hallucination and, therefore, not true. The idea that anything could be real or true which does not come from outside has hardly begun to dawn on contemporary man.
