I can't find anything substantial on how to handle one. Before I thought they were evil, but I've come across sources that they're just like people, but with more power. (And from their own corruption, they fell from grace and became the "tricksters" we know today).
A couple months ago, I was meditating and a djinn talked to me in my mind... That was the first time I've ever made contact with something like that where I could very clearly hear them, and discern it was NOT coming from me. At the time I felt very wary of the situation because if I've ever learned anything from movies, it's "don't mess with spirits" or things you don't understand. And in the moment he didn't FEEL threatening: he felt yellow-orange, and comforting like a teacher. But the way he talked,,,,, if it wasn't for what I'd felt, I'd think it was a threat, or like he was toying with me.
He found me amusing like a child.
After months of calming down about it, I've decided to go to a medium soon and reach back out to him. But I would also like to do some research before I jump into things I don't know. I know I should be respectful, because I try to treat everything with respect. But is there anything else I should be aware of (and cautious of) before I reach out?
Good morning,
As with all things, take this with a grain of salt. I have not worked directly with Djinn, but I find myself having spiritual ties with them. From my POV, Djinn are a people on another layer of this world. Far more in tune with the energy this world has to offer, and thus far more powerful. As all spirits rarely fall into an exact archetype, my best suggestion is to be courteous and honest. Be up front, be respectful, be kind unless in defense of yourself. Protect yourself, use your best judgement. I also suggest leaving all archetypes at the door. Even with 'demons', very rarely will you find pure evil. Only grey area. Rely on your judgement, not your assumptions. I say this because I am guilty of this, and hope others don't make the same mistakes.
For Djinn, they have their own culture and layer. If you wish to work with the one you met, I would direct you to the culture from which Djinn first stemmed from. Learn the manners of that culture and it would be your best bet. When in doubt, be honest. Be up front. Be kind, but direct. Take an offering.
It would not surprise me at all if the Jinn you contacted was just amused and curious and bored. They are a people like you. Feel free to DM me if you want, and sorry if this message makes no sense. Just woke up and also at work. Cheers!
"Even with 'demons', very rarely will you find pure evil"... YOU GET IT! Glad you are wise enough to know this. For YEARS I worked with "Demons", and actually got published for the deep nature of my work. Now I am creating my own platform because the publisher wanted to keep me in a "black magick box".
Djinn are often used interchangeably with Goetic spirits. Never listen to that. They are NOT the same. Goetic beings are cosmic potentials. Djinn are beings of smokeless fire. Today many methods of working with djinn are dangerous because they are often bound to objects. Spirit "housing" and spirit "binding" are two different playing fields. One is welcoming, the other is imprisonment.
There are a couple books recently published that may be helpful and are available on Amazon as Kindle editions. I myself have very limited understanding in regard to the working mechanics of working with this class of spirits. Talking to people is good... however, research books. Their is a dynamic of synergy that will empower you to work with djinn respectably and safely.
A wonderful list of the wonders is prepared for the struggle of the margins. Part of the australian help review I have done for the scored items for students. The ideal path of the list is upload for the preparation for the terms. The stuff is done for the fulfillment of the goals for the margins of the placements.
I've worked with Djinn or Jinn before, and frequently experienced them after a couple workings and offerings after divination. Important words of advice, "Djinn do not forget." Meaning that they are very full of wisdom and great memory. Reading the comment,"He found me amusing like a child." Is to me a great sign of spiritual establishment. The fact you were able to perceive his words and gender are very rare. They in my experience do not interact with those they do not care about. Their known not to even show up in prayers, conjurations, summons and etc. I've divined at times from a single Djinn they also may cause one to turn away from the craft completely if quote, "The door bell is pressed too many times." I feel there is nothing I can give you about Jinn that he already can. Just be patient, not rude, and politely ask. They detest and can tell of lies.
