No, we're not talking about the alcohol, so you can relax ya filthy animals! Geeze, the first mention of booze and you turn into a frat boy on Saturday night. No, we're talking about something much cooler and way older than the drink, gin. We're talking about the Jinn, a near pre-historic entity that features heavily in the Islamic, and pre-Islamic cultures and religion. What was once thought to be a heavenly body has been described as so much more, or less, depending on how you look at it. The Quran may even describe a certain Jinn the devil.
Jinn's have always fascinated me. I wrote a book years ago called Necromancy... And Other Mystical Things that heavily featured a Jinn character. Of course there were a lot of creative liberties taken with the lore, and is a complete work of fiction and humor, sooo yeah. Regardless, I can't believe it took me this long to cover the topic. The Jinn is one of the oldest stories I can think of, in terms of modern religion anyway, which I guess doesn't make it all that old. Nevertheless, as you'll see upon listening, there are some very distinct parallels between the Jinn, the lore, and the religion and more western religions and stories. Funny how that works, eh?
