  As I suggested before, this seems to refer to the Gnostic idea of NORTHERN 
  LIGHT. In our rapidly thin running century especially Theodor Däubler has 
  written explicitly on & out of this idea. But it also plays an important role 
  in the works of Hans Henny Jahnn & of Rolf Dieter Brinkmann. In their works 
  the idea has also 'naturalistic' aspects. So Eddins would may call them   
  "Orphic naturalism". In case you  haven't read my Däubler mail, I reproduce it 
  here once more:

  "It is north (...)" (p. 358)


  "Where the earth grows stiff, the night's breathin' northern shine. There a   
  comet breaks open out of seeds, to stray through the darknesses. NORTHERN   
  LIGHT IS THE TRUTH SIGN OF THE WHIT-FLAME. Above the heads of the different   
  people it thus means reconciliation in the cold LIGHT, which is said to be   
  prior to the enflamed creation's origin. The NORTHERN LIGHT promises: One day 
  the earth will out of itself be a shining star. The northern light     
  announces: The dust particle earth will be the freedom spark in the universe. 
  This wish out of the dark star will never be fulfilled in the world of     
  appearances: it shall be realized in the Spirit. That's what creation is     
  made for, what wo/man is born for. The Son of Man stays among us, so that the 
  Spirit may come on us to reign. When the northern shine is flickerin' above   
  the ice mountains, it's indicating that the whit-flames are dawning through   
  the people. When a human being experiences enlightment, a peony - visible for 
  those who walk its glaciers - is licking in the polar night. The inner sun is 
  dawning as northern shine: Northern shine creates awe inside the creature,   
  connects us to peace, calls for freedom inside the human being". 

  (m.o.p.a.t. from Theodor Däubler's "Idee des Nordlichts")
