“Completeness belongs to the nature of your best effort; it must contain the irrational as well as the rational, the unconscious as well as the conscious attempt. Therefore magic means are often exceedingly grotesque. Think of the magic medicine of the Middle Ages, for instance, or the secrets of the alchemical kitchen, or the contents of magic amulets-like the ground-up bones of a bat-it all seems the sheerest nonsense, but that simply proves the sincerity of the effort. And the means are legitimate inasmuch as they represent acknowledgment of assistance from the other side.” - C.G. Jung

The world is more than we see and understand, to allow in things that might not fit or seem confusing is the other side of the coin. Jung made this experience at his midpoint in life and what started by him building castles of sand, just as he did as a child, led to him changing the field of psychology.
