Okay so, Im a muslim. And in our religion we have a common Djinn. All Mulanas say the the Djinn is made of fire. And there are good ones and there are bad ones.
They say that they crawl in our minds and make us do bad things or deeds. Only the bad ones. They usually go against a family unit to make the deed bigger.
And throughout the whole website here I have heard of people talking about Djinns. So I want other people's opinions...
Someone asked me if a Djinn was a eish granter like genie, and this is what I said:
Not at all, though they may pretend to be. Some spirits will convince you of things, and trick you into believing they are making your wish come true, but they live to cause us grief. I personally assume its like a feast in the form of 4th of July for them. They feed on the destruction of our aura. For this feast, they have to be sly as can be, especially since they have no power to make any change on this plane, their only outlet is us. By tugging at our emotions, and showing us specific things at specific times, they can usually get a younger mind to mutilate their aura fairly easily if they have no spiritual training..
The wish granting genie is generally a spin-off of the real thing. Sometimes you can find a movie with a Djinn that plays horrible tricks, usually causing the wish makers destruction. That's more like the ones Ive heard of.(We only ever hear about the bad ones)
Usually and especially if you take your practice seriously, and don't jump into anything your unsure of, you will ususlly be just fine. But because of the strength of the strong willed, mystics especially, are targets for the Djinn..
But what are they? I believe they are us. Not you or me, but mankind, lost souls who fell into obscurity with whatever level of negativity/positivity you can think about. In this case, all manner of bad people who once held strong wills here. It is what they lived for, what they likely died for, and what they still wont let go of, even in passing. That spiritual rush that happens when a deed is done, good or bad, (in this case bad) that's what they are farming.
But do not fear, for that itself weakens your aura, even if by just a little. Like I said earlier, the only power they have comes directly from us. So just dont give them any!
I see what they mean about the Djinn being made of fire, since the soul is usually represented by the warmly attributed element. A strong soul will undoubtedly be hot or even blazing.
