There are numerous types of djinn, and some seem rather strange. It's not up to me to qualify what is real and what is not, only to chronicle what I've found.
Consider this post my notes on the subject ;)
According to the Koran, Djinn are made of smokeless fire, Angels are made of light, and Humans are made of clay.
I believe that succubus demons fit into the djinn class of being, I'm just not exactly sure where and which kind of djinn they are. So... I've looked at the descriptions of Djinn and wondered if they could be a succubus or not based on their own choices.
After all, the average you and me type of djinn could be a succubus or incubus... if they care to be I'd imagine.
Just for fun lets consider all of these the succubus demons of christianity and judaism as "Djinn".
Now we'll look at the different types of Djinn I've found here and there.
Djinn Types:
Djinn: Average djinn from a tribe, both male and female.
Possible succubus material ^
Amir: They hang around our homes and live with us. They are not conjured or used for any purpose. I think of these djinn as the perfect roomates, lol. I don't know why they are not "used for any purpose" because they would make perfect succubi in that they already live in one's home. But... for reasons I may not understand, I defer.
Hinn: Shape shifter djinn.
Possible succubus material ^
Jann: Shape shifter djinn of the desert.
Possible succubus material ^
Ghoul Si'la: Graveyard djinn who also dwell in dark places. Mostly female for some reason.
Possible succubus material (?) ^
Qareen/Hazmad: Basically a tempter assigned to each person at birth. Again, I'm not here to judge what is real and what is not for anyone.
Pari (Fairy): Flying djinn who dwell near bodies of water like lakes and streams. They are beautiful and they are female. Once they have had sex with a human being, that human is pretty much doomed from having sex with a regular human female forever. They are also very loyal and can prevent hexes and grant luck.
Possible Succubus Material ^
Shayteen/Shaitan: Demons. This is the Islamic version of demons. These are not benevolent demons and want to fuck you up just because you're you. I don't think these are the "demons" that demonolaters worship or deal with. These are the cranky kick your ass type of demon.
Maadrid/Madrid: Demon + Demons only worse.
Ifrit/Ifreet: Demon ++ Piss yourself you're in big trouble.
Muwakil: A holy djinn directly under a powerful angel. These fuck up demons with a passion.
Khubuth: These dwell in toilets (?)
Khinzab: Helpers of demons. They try to knock faithful people off of the straight and narrow.
Rooh: These are djinn who interact with very small children. They love children and are benign.
Possible Succubus Material (?) ^
Alnasnas/Shiqq: Basically a djinn in human form split in two. Very dangerous and ill tempered.
Palis: Vampiric djinn with low intelligence.
Si'lat: Expert shape-shifters and the smartest of the djinn.
Possible Succubus Material ^
Qarinah: Arabic succubus spirit/djinn with origins in ancient egyptian religion or pre-Islamic arabia.
Definite Succubus Material ^
Yakshini: The Indian version of a succubus/djinn. They are beautiful, resemble fairies, and are depicted as quite voluptious. They exist within Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain mythologies.
Definite Succubus Material^
There are at least 33 other spirits from varying cultural folklores that also would be considered succubi in attributes according to the wiki (wiki: Succubus).
Where would Lilith fit into all of this? I'm not sure. I think she would be a Great Queen or a Goddess of the Djinn of some type - most likely of the Qarinah along with related succubi from other cultures. However, maybe even various other types of spirits have banded together under Her leadership whom assume a succubus role themselves?
After all, a Qarinah in one culture is a Kitsune in another. Just labels that vary by culture and myth.
In looking at this list, I find many categories of djinn who could be a succubus by choice as that goes.
Your guess is as good as mine. As far as succubi in general, the Qarinah are an obvious fit. However, for other types of djinn who could also take on a succubus role, I am partial to the Si'lat personally, as I've noticed that any succubi I've had have had the ability to perfectly shapeshift into a variety of animals (usually upon arival in my bed, then transforming into their normal selves), as well as being exceedingly smart and advanced spiritually.
Anything I've marked as "Succubus Material" is simply conjecture on my part. I don't know the answers as I'm unfamiliar with the Djinn world and culture. I do know that if a succubus is a type of djinn that they love presents, love, and attention just like any other being who would :)

Honestly,many of the names are more descriptions than types. Jinn in Arab mythology are beings similar to us in that they have free will unlike angels yet are metaphysical in nature. Sure, there are some which more fall under one category and not the other, but they don't only fit under one description only. The description Qareen and Qareenah are male and female counterparts of the same description. Qareen means partner or someone who is always with someone. Qareenah is the female version and is viewed as a temptress. Classically, the Christian definition of succubi being temptresses fits the classical Islamic meaning of Qareenah. The exception is where Qareenah would be more similar to spirit wife or succubus lover. They could take on other traits like what you described Rooh as (although Rooh means soul so It can be human, angel, Jinn, or animal). Jinn do not have a solid form so they all shape shift. They can take physical forms (not metaphysical; they can be almost anything metaphysically) as full, jet black cats and dogs, non-venomous snakes, and a few other forms I don't recall of the top of my head. Jann or Jaan you described as shape shifters of the desert is literally the plural of Jinn. Just my input from being Muslim, Arab, and learning from you, Islamic sources,and my experiences in sleep paralysis (which was extremely peaceful and was an answering to my plea of emotional help to Lilith and was surprised at the the method it was delivered almost as if they feared me but wanted to help).
ReplyDeleteHey that's cool! Thanks for the clarifications!
DeleteMy sleep paralysis was pleasant as well. Dunno why I get a succubus chanting over me and get full body orgasms while others get anal probed by aliens.
Count my blessings I guess hahahah :)
