There are many thought forms made manifest. Called by many names peculiar to one’s culture, belief system and experience. Often associated with black magic, witches, sorcery enchantments, sexuality and anything forbidden (Harram in Islamic philosophy)Usually seen when on a underground journey like Persephone, Demeter. This journey is the purging and recovery of those lost, betrayed, neglected, abuse, misused parts of self. Clearly described by C.G.Jung philosophy, a dark night of the soul, hell ride and back to a new integrated, yet expanded version of self.
The conflict between Thought and Reality a Manly P.Hall lecture of May 6 1956 Los Angeles by the Manly Hall Society is an excellent lecture. The Persephone archetype by Senthora on you tube is well collated. The Djinn are a race of supernatural beings, genies are anglicized forms like Alladin and his magical lamp; from which arises a genie. Djinn are unlike angels which are angles of light or the angels, vibrations they appear as. Jinn are supposed to possess free will, with the ability to choose between good and evil. To worship or reject God and will face divine judgement. Remember that a man made a god.
They live in a parallel, hidden dimension but can shape shift into animals, snakes, scorpions dogs or human form. Made from smokeless fire , this is the subtle body or fascia with toxic inclusions. Humans are said to be made from clay and angels from light. As you can see this imagery is based on cultural understanding and perpetuation of that concerning the seen and unseen worlds. A world of the shaman, diviner, healer or the entitled priestly sects which were male dominated. In Qu’ran:surah Al-Jinn, they are described like humans, Jinn must answer for their deeds. Jinn can be of any faith, they are disobedient and misguiding like Shayatin. That is Satan in Islam. Islam and Muslim are quite distinctly different. Iblis, another name for Satan, lucifer is considered a Jinn as he rebelled against God and refused to bow to Adam (Hadam)
There is an abundant regional and traditional stories across the middle east, north Africa and South Asia, Europe call them by another name and is often in association with health, wealth issues. The Jinn in the Middle east is associated with deserts, ruins, bath houses, caves, forests, grave yards, cross roads, abandoned buildings, forests. They are not innately evil. They are sentient, free willed creations, similar to humans who can choose between good and evil. These days they are like ones dopple ganger, subtle body, A gollom, a meme, psychic projections gone array, a spell of a witch; out of control. A pattern of events, a form of energy that can be detected and curtailed.
They may act as tricksters, guardians or malevolent entities capable of causing physical or mental harm, such as possession. Much like poltergeist moving objects. The guardian function is noted in the Mandaean philosophy where Abathur lies at the threshold gate before the weighing of souls. These Jinn unseen, sentient, creative made of smokeless flame (actually feels like inflammation) that lives along side humans with free will, moral choices and daily life routines like eating, marrying, dying. They are said to make pacts, exchange services, sometimes seeking a form of veneration or ego inflation; perform tasks for humans. (Yasir Qadhi)This is poetry describing an energy that has been animated on the negative bias. One will find that these determinations have mainly been associated with the female in Islamic conditions. No one can argue with Islam and live in peace, especially a female! The most tolerant Islam sect the Ibadi in Oman are well re known for their tolerance even of other Islamic sects. It is a true evaluation.
Many religious organizations and peculiar lodges, groups that set themselves apart from mainstream life, cloistered nuns, monks have different interpretations and practice concerning, Jinn, Satan, devil, light and darkness. According to Islamic sources Djinn possession (masal-jinn)enters or attaches itself to a human body like a skin walker from Tartaria diaspora through specific vulnerabilities or events. Black magic (Sihr) is often cited as the cause, trigger. Sorcery or rituals done outside, evil eye (ayn), spell projections, intense envy and malicious focus from others can weaken a person’s defence. As the person is aware focused on this energy being projected towards them, why they are doing it gets so embroiled and captured by giving attention to the one sending bad vibrations. Over thinking others projections and making it too personal. One does this because of sensitivity, empathy over extended to the the projectionist.That is one way that possession is felt and known.This vibrational migration is not too far from the concept of going towards the light in others or wherever, whatever it reciprocates with.
In psychiatry manuals (DSM or ICD)it is often understood through modern diagnostic frameworks. Dissociative and conversion disorders, altered states of consciousness, dramatic shifts in personality, seizures, involuntary vocalizations, acute stress responses, or conversion disorders. Underlying mental health conditions; auditory and visual hallucinations, sleep paralysis, night terrors, severe depression that often map directly neurological and psychological conditions. Schizophrenia, severe anxiety, epilepsy. An external spirit is not part of the evaluation. However it does in my experience of healing and vanquishing entities is does have a function.
Spiritual neglect (Ghaflah), failing to practice remembrance of god (Dhikr), frequently committing major sins is believed to strip away divine protection (hisn)leaving a person more susceptible. The western christian religion also pro ports the same thing in their words. Hence the great hold on people uneducated, not thinking for themselves by these clergy figures. In so much as it has become a great source of revenue and data keeping for local agents of any religious or fixed immovable company. From candles, absolution, exorcisms, Hail Marys (Great movie 2025 ) Warrior Nuns Netflix TV series. Djinni is singular form of the word and apparently malevolent Djinn dislike clean, pure, strong herbal resinous, frankincense(Luban), pure musk, Asafoetida, castus root sage; which repel negative energies.
The very idea of having union with a Djinn is Harram, forbidden in Islam.The making of hybrids with gods, devils, fallen angels, fallen Sophia, watchers, demiurge is nothing new although the terminology can cause anxiety itself. Minanfurikum means find own kind. Hence the purity laws of Islam, kosher rules in Judaism, Cleanliness is next to godliness in Christianity. This is all a manifestation of psychological distress, long standing trauma of the many by the self appointed elite. Aisha wife of Mohammed was considered a Jinn, female Jinniyah and plural Jinniyat. Aisha Kandisha (Qandicha) in Moroccan folklore and Islam has been studied by Z. Fareen Parvez in The Passions of Aisha;Women’s studies in religion lecture of April 4 2024 Massachusets Amhert. Salam Media has a movie The Lady of Heaven worth watching that Aisha character in the movie.
There is a type of healing when one has shared agency with a spirit, or have Djinn possession. It is called ruqya al shariya or ruqya. It consists of Qu’ranic recitation to someone presenting as afflicted or struggling with something or demon, jinn possession. An exorcism. Some Jinn have genders or more a energy that is genderized in western society as male female, strong, cruel, vengeful, seductive, nurturing, unpredictable. In practice it is what can be determined by a folk doctor, shaman, healer, seer. There are many clinics that deal with these jinn. Some clients are told to go read al-Baqarah second chapter. The very one that Soloman was accredited to the healing of the two women in his entourage that claimed to be mother of a child. The witch of En-dor actually a High priestess, Murshidah was glossed over by this surah al- Baqarah in some versions of the Qu’ran. Murshidah means in English one who points the way. ‘The way’ is considered as the path in religiosity.
The Jinn and Z. Fareen Parvez study bear witness to trauma, wounds of patriarchy (C.G.Jung) These Islamic healer of possession can be male or female. Mostly men (Fqih) who can attend either gender but women (raqis) can only attend women, not men. The Lila ceremonies in Morocco have trance ritual as a form of healing, like shaman hyahuasca ceremonies to some degree. They happen at night and are mostly women. They are said to appease rather than provoke the jinn unlike their male counterparts. The context of which is unique to the practice of the individual. Some supply amulets, unguents that is ointments, whatever is necessary to complete or aid the situation.
This biased attitude towards women is ancient, when The feminine, the lady in the temple, the queen of Heaven, the Presence was not revered and strategically usurped by male patriarchy. The male practitioners of ruqya assert religious legitimacy over this form of healing. Accusations of all sorts are aimed at the female practitioners. The male practitioners rational is to evict, wipe out the jinn rather than appease them. (The Breadwinner movie ) and the movie Eleni about such a healer and family dynamics of shame. Gender violence towards women and psychological profiling by males heavily steeped in Islamic laws accredit women having Djinn possession. Unfulfilled desires, lack of love or marriage, lesbianism, poverty, are all tied to gender relationships as women are owned, possessed by men. Men also get possessed by Djinn, described as gay, homosexual and other forms of Jinn possession that are not openly shared and often overlooked by Imam leader as they are men. This behaviour is universal when one investigates how a culture treats the female, women and even small children in any social, private environment.
In Celtic Druid lore the Reed in the Ogham system was use for healing many conditions. The “physician” title liaig or midach in old Irish was female. Along with several other types of women had independent legal capacity. A honour price was attached to the different types of women healers based on their value to the tribe and their possessions or skills. They had their magical charms and chants and fire temples. A perpetual fire was maintained there by the nuns. They were later called nuns when christianity usurped the female tradition. It was a place where people would come with questions or seek healing The “nuns” women wore veils in those early days would scry into the flames to divine. The festivals at Imbolc february 2nd fire festival and Brigid Celtic goddess marks that time.
