Ancient Ruins

DJINN AND GENIES

I was so fascinated by this subject that the research was a joy. I am honestly fascinated by some of the origin stories of the Jin and the fact that they are believed to this day to still exist. We truly do live in a wondrous world!

Different Forms of Jin

Etymology of the word Genie - The Genius of one person would be that external form. (Granted at birth)

In some cases they did not have a physical form and were created as a guide to help people throughout their life. 

They would tease humans sometimes and live to their own ends by possession.

They are often also seen as guardians of a place.

Containment of Genies

Started with King Solomon (from old testament)

He was gifted the power of all the elements and the Jin in the form of crystals

In some cases it was angels that presented the gifts

Immense knowledge, ability to talk to any animal, power over 4 elements, power over the spirits and jin.

French Author Galland put Genies in a bottle when he translated Aramaic Fol Lore

Origin stories

  • Some consider Djinn to be Angels that have fallen.

  • Created from a smokeless flame at the same time as the Angels.

Jin Fall

  • One Jin that was raised higher than all the others and lived in heaven with the angels would not bow to Adam when asked by god and was cast out. He was called Iblis when he was with the angels and then he was names Shayalteen (Translates as Satan). Then all Jin were considered to be demons. 

  • This is another of those ones that multiple perspective concepts and it is interesting to see the different concepts clash.

BUFFY NIGHT

Pirate Bound : Carysa Locke

This novella really caught my attention. I could not put this book down. Because it’s not a long story (it’s a novella) A prequel to the telepathic space pirate series. I received the novella when I signed up to her newsletter so you don’t even have to pay for it. The story is set on a space pirate ship following the story of Dem. A seasoned pirate with a telepathic twist and Sanah a female that is on the run. The pirates save Sanah and her sister and the story is fast paced and intense. There are a few blushworthy moments in there, especially at the climax of the tale, but it is in good taste.

I liked the way she entwined the two personalities so succinctly even though they are basically polar opposites and the worldbuilding is exceptional. I look forward to reading her full novel and dread it at the same time because I know that I will be hooked that much again. The telepathic abilities vary from character to character and Carysa had found a way to share all the differences without bogging down the story which I think is exceptional.

I give it 4 and half stakes.

Bohemian Rhapsody - Movie 2018

I am a fan of queen and a lot of the older style music because that is what I listened to growing up. I understand that there were a few aspects of the story that were factually incorrect, depending on where you look, but I still thought it was awesome. I loves the feel of the music and it intrigued me how the band members acted toward one another and what decisions that they made. It seemed like Freddy had most of the control but he needed his team with him.

I did watch it a few times and every time I watched it from a different angle, so if you like music and biographical fiction, then you will love bohemian rhapsody.

I am going to give it 5 stakes.

(Yes that is the first 5 Stakes on the show but I loved this movie.
