The Mage's Well

The Middle Eastern Djinn, a land or fire spirit, they were created after angels but before humanity. Belief in the djinn is widespread and they enter the written record around 2400 BCE but are likely to be much, much older. Ambivalent tricksters, they’re capable of abducting humans, haunting buildings and possession, driving their victims into madness. Are they Pre-Islamic gods? Why are they linked to poetry? And why have people been abducted and taken to djinn courts to face trial? Tune into the Mage’s Well podcast to find out, available wherever you listen to podcasts.
