@dzb10035 Haha, there you are again! It seems you’re very interested in Middle Eastern magic and jinn magic, and you’ve studied them quite deeply!
@hussainsirat577 I’ve read some other “modern Western books of jinn magic” before, and to be honest, I didn’t have a very good impression of any of them… Perhaps a few that incorporate elements of ritual magic might be worth trying, but I don’t have high hopes for most of them.
This isn’t to say you can’t do it this way, or that doing so won’t produce results, but it’s important to remember that you’re dealing with ancient spirits that magicians in the Middle East have relied on for hundreds, or even over a thousand, years. Magicians in the Middle East have long possessed a deep understanding of these entities and have developed numerous methods and techniques for interacting with them. As far as I know, most of them do not use the kinds of “methods” found in the “modern magic books” you mentioned. Or to put it another way, it’s not just the method that matters—what’s far more important is “why you’re doing it” and how you interact with the jinn.
Indeed, even in the Middle East, there are many different ways to cast spells using jinn. There are large-scale, complex spells like sabaseb and berhatiah, as mentioned by others in this thread, as well as methods as simple as drawing a pattern at a specific time or reciting a small number of “names of power” a specific number of times… However, I don’t think this means that these “names of power” and the names of jinn are some sort of Western-style “formula” or “recipe” that can be arbitrarily inserted into other parts of a ritual or used within some generic framework.
This is something that requires particular attention, especially when it comes to magic involving jinn. For certain jinn that do not require specific methods, you can even achieve results simply by reciting their names during a candle magic ritual; however, for others—and indeed, for most jinn—there are often specific methods for invoking them due to particular reasons, such as their history, origin, characteristics, and so on… Those who understand these matters best are the magicians of the Middle East, whose knowledge has been passed down through generations, and from which these various methods have emerged.
Let me give an example: a well-known jinn king in the Middle East named Muiymun (this is my personal spelling), who is known in the West by the very famous name Maymon, the King of the Spirits/Demons of the South. Among the methods I know of, there are at least five forms of magic involving Muiymun: The first involves Muiymun as part of a rather extensive ritual—lasting seven days or more—to establish a pact with the Seven Jinn Kings. In this ritual, Muiymun himself is summoned in a manner similar to how, in the final days of
The Book of Abramelin, the magician relies on the HGA to summon numerous demon lords before him.
The second method is aimed at the muiymun itself. It involves preparing special tools—typically rings, seals engraved on specific materials, or incense blends of specific ingredients—and then, just as in the first method, establishing a covenant with the muiymun and the jinn of its tribe through a ritual lasting several days.
The third method involves using scrying tools such as a water cup or a mirror. By simply drawing a specific seal and reciting a short incantation at a specific time, one can cause the “muiymun” to “manifest” within the tool. One can then ask various questions or make requests.
The fourth method involves reciting specific prayers that include “names of power” at specific times and casting spells for specific purposes, just like the spells—other than summoning spells—taught to us in
The Key of Solomon.
The fifth method involves following strict Islamic religious rituals, reciting incantations a specific number of times after each daily ritual, and continuing this process for several days to complete the summoning.
This is not meant to show off, but rather to point out that even within the Arab world, the forms of jinn magic are diverse. Now a question arises: all these methods require the assistance of a muiymun, but does the muiymun manifest in the same way in each of them? Certainly not. Each has its own purpose and specific requirements; some are intended to gain broad authority, others to form a direct alliance with the muiymun itself, and still others simply require the muiymun to dispatch a suitable jinn to deliver a message or carry out a specific task.
You see, each of these methods has its own nuances. Although they’re all related to muiymun, they’re all different. What I’m trying to say is that if you want to use the methods found in these “modern grimoires,” you must carefully consider what they actually do, why they work, and how you can ensure they’ll actually be effective—and so on… Most importantly, you must not casually apply “general theories,” “general methods,” or “general formulas” from modern magic, chaotic magic, or similar traditions when dealing with jinn. These methods might work, but more often than not, even likely to offend the jinn.
