It wo...Just this post now, so sorry for late reply. It would be helpful if I got nudged, so I can follow the post. <br /><br />Let me clarify any confusion. <br /><br />There is no mention of Paralda, Nichsa, etc. in any Arabic text. Djinn is obvious for what it is. Jinn names in many grimoires are first names and don't include the full designation. Those are often guarded and rarely shared in literature.The full designation is often Jinn Name son of Jinn name of the Sons of (Beni) tribal name. For example, Ghol (Ghoul) is the father of many jinn. He is the leader of his tribe, which is named after him. You'll often encounter other jinn, for example Shughal, who is a descendant / member of the tribe of Ghol. Therefore, Shughal's designation is Shughal of Beni Ghilan. (Ghilan is plural of Ghol). <br /><br />From multiple evocations and previous experiences, I'm pretty sure that Ghob is a jinn king of terrestrial nature. It is possible that Ghob like Ghoul can also be a designation of a tribal last name. There is no textual evidence to support this and it is only a hypothesis. If I had no previous experience with jinn magic, I may not have known that Ghob is a jinn king. However, I do and so I knew what I was dealing with.<br /><br />I haven't had any successful manifestations of Paralda. <br /><br />It is automatic to look to the Middle East in general and to Hebrew specifically for answers. However, it is very likely that the origin of these names comes from different parts of the world and are more folkloric. <br /><br />I wish I could offer further assistance here.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04537496125784002189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2594045886586038963.post-36048858875086590792013-12-02T16:54:43.746-07:002013-12-02T16:54:43.746-07:00I have not heard anyone cite Paracelsus as a sourc...I have not heard anyone cite Paracelsus as a source for them.

If you ever find some definitive evidence to the origin of these names, I would be grateful to see it.<br /><br />It would seem reasonable that these names are derived from some Middle Eastern tongue, which probably predates Hebrew and Arabic, as the name Djin is from that language.<br /><br />I would like to hear what evidence Ninevah has to that reference to them being classes of Djin. While that seems like a reasonable thing to say, I would also like to see the roots of that statement.J.C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10026026594990409111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2594045886586038963.post-1888890215404099292013-09-22T02:28:10.071-06:002013-09-22T02:28:10.071-06:00Meow!
