i read the book the vengeful djinn by rosemary ellen guiley and phillip imbrogno and found it fascinating about what the people of the middle east believe in a race of spiritual beings called the djinn. i myself had read up on these entities. even collected some vessels of marid djinneyeh. and have a few friends among them. as well as a qarinah whom is a daughter of Lilith as a lover and ‘wife’ and some of her sisters as companions. however when i got to chapter 8 page134 i was a little upset when i read an account of oscar widle wife concerning faires and they are not allowed salvation in christianity.
actually not all christian theolgians felt that way. there is a teaching of one of the church founders by the name of origen that taught universal salvation, reconciliation, or redemption. that even demons could be saved.
there are a few jewish mystics such as rabbi issac luria that taught the belief of tikkun olam which is reconciliation of all creation (including demons). and taught Lilith would remarry Adam. this was done in the marrige of leah to jacob. (this i’ve noted in my post Lilith an enigma).
in the quran surah 72 the al djinn it says that some of djinn would be saved if they believe in Allah.
however origen’s views among a few others such as those of ludovico maria sinistrari isdore liseux (concerning succubi) were largely supress and forced to recant their views because of fear of the inquisition. along with the gnostics
rabbi issac luria’s views were equally supress by mainstream judaism until now. and muslim theologians are divided on the interpretation of surah 72.
i myself believe these beings have their own Path, their own evolution to follow. at times their paths cross ours. most of the time due to fears on our part. such relationships didn’t go well. and their are those among these beings are a bit resentful. because of prejudices born of misunderstandings. i think we are reaching a point in human history where we have to embrace the other dwellers of the universe. as well as those in our world. but exist in different dimensions.
on a personal note. after i read the book i said a little prayer saying if such a God exist. and doesn’t allow salvation to beings who are trying (and succeeding most of the time) to live up to the good deeds that are outlined all the holy books of all these religions. then i would gladly share in their (the faeres, fays, sidhes, succubi, djinn) destiny.
and that night i felt a little kiss on my forehead.
