"tomhu" : >> do you know the spell or incantation of summon genie ? outside of games, spells aren't usually spoken of in this way ('the spell of "Summon Djinn"', rather than 'a spell to summon a djinn'), but I think I know what you mean. I would approach the activity as any other summoning, ritual of encounter, and communication with intelligence, probably find out what they like to do or experience, talk about, test out mechanism a couple of times, and then attempt ritual contact. getting their names might be helpful, if you want to summon them proper. I'll bet there are long lists of djinn names in Arab/Muslim lore. preparing the area for a visiting guest is always valuable. as is announcing to the intended communicant that one is intending to arrange an exchange at a pre-arranged time (in this way the djinn won't be inconvenienced). if I had some kind of conflict with them of course I would take what precautions were necessary. and Chris: > What is a "Genie"? I'll guess. the djinn are a race of beings, a singular of which is often called a djinni. this was transliterated into English at times as "genie", perhaps in sympathy to the familiar or augoeidic spirit, the genius, that might be summoned and consulted, some mystics convinced that particularly important and personal and possibly related entities like 'Holy Guardian Angels' might even be fused with the magician, or mysteriously intermingled. there are legends of magicians like Solomon capturing these predominantly Middle-Eastern entities in a famous Brass Vessel, and many of these stories are interpreted metaphorically and associated with psychospiritual practices whether modern or revivals it is sometimes arguable by reasonable people. there is supposed to be a social order to djinn. at times the djinn are said to have aristocrats and even priests and mullahs. tales of djinn enliven such classics as "A Thousand and One Nights", with Al 'Adin and the djinns of the Ring and the Lamp (they're all *over* the place!). they are reputed to have fabulous powers, sometimes able to grant (at times only a quite specific number of) wishes, and are often 'the slave' of the object in which they are magically trapped. there are several stories of djinns being set free, of double-crossing their 'masters', and achieving incredible feats of engineering and teleportation. particular djinns are supposedly quite theurgically well-placed and powerful. at times the djinns are given as the category of rival gods to the One or to Allah (a kind of comparable parallel to Christians who consider all other gods 'demons', I suppose). amongst Muslims, the djinns are sometimes given an important part in the creation, at others they are merely witnesses to the drama of Allah and human, far greater in scope and importance than any djinn or djinn society. peace be with you, haramullah nagasiva@luckymojo.com
