Spartacus : >> What is the difference between djinns and demons? barbelith@yahoo.com (Renfield): > Well, 'djinns' would probably be spirits that we know and work with > and 'demons' are the spirits that those other folk know and work with. >'Us' and 'them' seem like a good counterpart. djinns are not reliable to the Muslim magician, and I'd wager that they are not necessarily the first choice for a number familiar with them (on account of their egotism and distance from human values). some will maintain that all gods other than Allah are probably djinn, and are therefore of variable reliability. some of the greatest villains and heros of the Faithful have been djinn. don't short-change or over- estimate their placement. peace be with you, haramullah nagasiva@luckymojo.com
