Thread: Djinns

It's really way easier than you are making it.

Just sit down in a quite time, or with some music. Get in the mood and stop talking to yourself mentally.

You all settled? Good.

Now focus on the Djinn that hangs out with you. Call him over, get his attention.

It's all just "feelings" and "vibes" now. You'll know it when he shows up, though it will probably be subtle to you. Sometimes they show up with a bang (I've had papa legba come in by turning all the things in the office on) or you might just "know" they are there.

Anyhow when you chat they usually use your own voice, the one you talk to yourself in your head with. Other times, its a distinct voice that isn't yours. Still yet, they may just show you pictures, smells, whatever it is humans think with.

It's not always going to be direct or immediately comprehensible. Just play around with it.

You two will get used to what you need to be understood mutally and then you will have a wonderful friendship or most bitter enemy.

Don't you know the old adage the simplest is the best, but no one heeds it.

alright ill trust myself more now, i just needed feedback with somebody more experienced so to say. thanks and i wish you guys well

Trust your instincts. Take care.

Let us know how it goes Lonewolf, if the Djinn doesn't mind.

as far as i am informed Djinn are Air demons while Ifrit are Fire. its what i have learned about some time ago when i was searching about Al Hazred's Necronomicon.

They can be good and evil, but I will tell you this they have a mind of their own.

*Clears my throat* The Djinn are actually a CLASS of spirits, there are water, fire, earth and air Djinn (though the elemental king of fire is named Djinn, that's whats confusing you Lady )

but, time to pull out my favorite book...


The Element Encyclopedia of Magical Creatures PG. 164 "Djinn":

These are the primary species of demons in the Arabic tradition and are widely known throughout most of the Islamic world, especially in the Sahara and parts of the northern and eastern mediterranean. There are many variations to their names including Dgen, Dschin, Genie, Ginn, Jann, Jinn and Junun. There are actually several classes of Djinn including the piowerful Marid, the Afreet, The Shaytans and the Jann. Not all are evil and some can be helpful- like the genie of the lamp in the story of Aladdin. However the majority are very ugly and savage in nature. They can take numerous shapes and have been known to appear as human beings, monsters, cats, dogs, ostiches and snakes. When they do take human form it is often that of a beautiful woman, who may only be detected by the fact that the pupils of her eyes are vertical slits. The evil Djinn cause sandstorms and water spouts, and for this reason when the Zoba'ahm a whirlwind that forms itself into a pillar of sand stretching to enormous heights, sweeps across the desert the Arabs believe it to be caused by the flight of one of these evil demons. *skipping ahead* According to the Koranic tradition the Djinn were made from fire and have fire in their veins isntead of blood. Their first leadder was called Taranushi, but in time he was overthrown and they have since possessed any chieftains. Other traditions say that the Djinn are composed of air and were created 2,000 years before man.

*Bows*
I've read through a lot of 'creatures' in this book, but paraphrasing never seems to do as well as quoting. [: enjoy your knew-found knowledge friends!

Oh and to answer the subject: To communicate/summon your Djinn friend, perhaps a meditative or trance state may help. Get into such a state and speak, listen and/or wait for a response ( I first learned to speak to trees when I started out, so from there spirits were easy to communicate with, so I may be understating the process. If-so, I apologize )

Ok..... Im kinda new to this stuff.... I am familiar with the Greater and lesser key of solomon and there methods of summoning and controlling demons with aid of angels but i dont have the time to commit to such a demanding field of magick. Id like to work with some lower class elemental intities such as the djinn, elves, the fae.... I by chance ran into a gnome once, but it ran and vanished yet i could still see and hear its foots steps, it stood about a 1 1/2 to 2 ft tall. How do u summon ur djinn... how did u make their aquaintance... Ive inquired all around yet no one can give me a good substantial answer. Do you have any suggestions.

May I suggest the Ghâyat al-Hakîm fi'l-sihr, or Picatrix (Western) for a study on Servitors/Djinn.
