If it's any help, in the glossary at the back of my William Blake's Complete Poems, the following entries relate to Blake's system of mythology.
EMANATION: B's term for the female portion of Man. In Eternity, where Man is bisexual, the Emanation is a part of any being, and is experienced as his inspiration and dwelling-place. In the Fall, she becomes a separate being, and the reunion of Man and his emanation is necessary for re-entry to Eternity [...]
I don't know about you, but this sounds suspiciously like a daemon to me!
SPECTRE: The masculine principle which may divide from a being when his feminine portion (EMANATION) separates, to assume independent life. Usually 'the reasoning power in man', it is brutish, obsessive and selfish, and must be reintegrated.
Nuff said, for now.
