According to pre-Islamic lore, the djinn\u2019 are born of smokeless fire \u201cpurest and best (of fire), which does not burn (in modern terms, this could be plasma).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Arabian lore, Djinn (also spelled djinn, Djinni, Djinnie, Genie) are a race of beings who have the ability to intervene in the affairs of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are three types of djinn: one that flies through the air, one that are snakes and dogs, and one which stay in places and travel about. They are invisible to most people except under certain conditions; however, animals, especially dogs and donkeys are able to see them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Western lore djinn are sometimes equated with demons, but they are not the same. They are often portrayed as having a demonic-like appearance, but they can also appear in beautiful, seductive forms. The djinn are masterful shape-shifters, and their favored forms are snakes and black dogs. They also can masquerade as anything: humanistic, animalistic, ghostly, and other entities such as extraterrestrials, demons, shadow people, fairies, angels and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Archeological evidence found in Northwestern Arabia seems to indicate the worship of djinn, or at least their tributary status, hundreds of years before Islam: An Aramaic inscription from Beth Fasi’el near Palmyra pays tribute to the “ginnaye”, the “good and rewarding gods”, and it has been argued that the term is related to the Arabic djinn. Numerous mentions of djinn in the Quran and testimony of both pre-Islamic and Islamic literature indicate that the belief in spirits was prominent in pre-Islamic Bedouin religion. However, there is evidence that the word djinn is derived from Aramaic, where it was used by Christians to designate pagan gods reduced to the status of demons, and was introduced into Arabic folklore only late in the pre-Islamic era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iblis the leader of the djinn and who had access to heaven (also called Shaytan) became a figure comparable to the Devil. His evil-minded followers are called devils, and they behave in ways similar to Western demons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The djinn is not confined to the Middle East, or to the past. They exist in their own realm, probably a parallel dimension, and they have the ability \u2013 and the desire \u2013 to enter our world and interact with us. The djinn has been among us in antiquity and they are among us now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few years ago, I was in Ghana and a friend invited me to see a \u201cseer\u201d. The Seer, was a short unassuming guy with a pudgy face and friendly smile. He was dressed in a white Islamic tunic and trousers. As we entered the room I could smell frankincense and myrrh had been burnt prior to our arrival. He sat on the floor and we sat on his plush couch. It was one of those couches that you sink into and takes two hands to get up from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When he began my divination, I chose to sit on the edge of the sofa so that I could stay focused and take notes. He said that I had a Djinn connection that has been with me all my life and that my Djinn walks with me. He also mentioned that my friend that brought me to the seer was a good friend. There were a few more things that was said but I was not impressed to remember but then he said. You came here to know more about the Djinn but you already know all you need to know. The question that you should be asking yourself is what are you afraid of if you were to connect with your Djinn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In that moment I got nervous because I knew he was on point at that moment. I had to look at how I was using logic to understand Djinn and my connection versus allowing my connection to flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My friend called my name and I realized I had zoned out for a moment. He continued to say a few things but I was not really listening at this time. I had set up my phone to record everything so, I was not worried about what I was missing. We finished with a few rituals that were to be done for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Later that day I returned home to listen to the divination but all I could hear was a screech during the entire recording.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
