I want a Djinn, it's one of the few types of spirits that I haven't added to my family that I want to add yet. But, I've seen that on eBay, certain sellers say in their listings that Djinn are for experienced spirit handlers. It seems they are suggesting that Djinns are difficult, and that they can be menacing if not pleased with their treatment.

Is this true, or is it just sellers adding value to their product. If I were to keep a Djinn, what would I need to know? Which kind would be best, I want it for wish granting.

While it is true almost all djinn are dark arts, I have never had any problem from any of my over 500. I am not counting the one-thousand guardian djinn since they do not grant wishes and are simply among my protection crew(they were a gift from a conjurer). Even my darkest djinns have been no trouble for me. These include ifrits, ghuls, and even a shaitann.

Am I wealthy beyond my dreams? No, but that may be because I still have a lot to learn. But I really do enjoy their company on those rare days I sense their presence. I have seen a few of them and for them to manage that is impressive to me. One is a female ifrit that enjoys appearing as a gorgeous brunette in the nude, I know she is a djinn because I noticed she had no feet, which is normal for a djinn.
There have been numerous events in which they let me know they are with me in my car. Once I even was driving to work and saw this huge pair of Egyptian eyes looking at me through my windshield. I know that most people would have wrecked their car in reaction. I just smiled and said hello.

I will add that perhaps it would be wise to stick with a Marid for a first djinn.

Is there a thread, perhaps that someone could direct me to that outlines the proper way to interact with a Djinn? As well, can anyone tell me their experience with wishes being granted by Djinn? I want to know if it's real or imagined, that they grant wishes on any level. I'd just like to have a basic idea of what they can do, a ballpark figure, as it were.

That would depend on the conjurers. What their philosophy/path, their conjuring and binding method, and what kind of spirits/entities they usually work with. It might be a good idea to check the sellers' other offers to compare with that djinn listing, and maybe contact them directly. The sellers might have rituals that you have to do when receiving the vessel.

And for wish-granting, in case you haven't found this:

There is also an entire forum category dedicated to connecting with and learning how to make wishes with Djinns in addition to the excellent threads darkwing linked. It's really not difficult to find great information on this forum if you invest a little time into digging.

Haha, I am so busy editing an article, that it totally evaded my awareness that there was such a thread, right there in front of my eyes at the top of this forum board page. Thanks for pointing that out.

No problem! I know how it gets when work pulls you in. Happy seeking

I will offer my 2 cents (which, that's approximately what it would be worth). I have a few and I don't have any issues with them. Djinn are generally always dark arts. They're not all loving and cuddly as some will present them as. In many ways, they're a lot like working with demons. There are some djinn that can be very difficult to work with. And there are some that simply are NOT human friendly. If you go back and read the segments of the Koran that deal with djinn, it will provide some insight. Some djinn, for example, their name literally translates to "devil" or "Satan djinn." Does this mean they're not all "bad" or "evil?" No, absolutely not. But, it also doesn't mean that they're all going to be warm cuddly little things that are there to make your wildest dreams come true. I happen to have one that is quite the sweetheart. She's one of the few non-demons that I spend any time with. But, she also came with a warning: "do NOT seek her assistance for 'darker' tasks, or she will be very difficult to manage." Translation, she'll accomplish the task you asked her too, with serious unintended repercussions. So, I'm happy to have her just do her thing around here and enjoy her life with my family WITHOUT asking for assistance with anything that might be considered "dark." As with everything spirit keeping related, I would just advise that you work with a reputable conjurer that you trust to help ensure that the djinn you work with is 1. A djinn, and 2. People friendly.

If you get one that comes with a warning tag, follow it. After all, don't feed gizmo after midnight. Good luck!

Thanks, points taken.

I have a lot of Djinn
And of all types
I only have 1 that likes to mess up wishes like in the stories
Some are sharp tempered, and many are fun and funny
They very like everything/everyone else

P.S. I started off with an ifrit
