Delve into the mystical and enigmatic world of Arabic Black Magic and the Jinn with Michael W. Ford’s “Whispers of the Jinn.” This comprehensive exploration unveils the origins, history, and intricate lore surrounding these supernatural beings, offering readers a profound understanding of their place in both ancient and modern contexts.

From the root ‘janna’, meaning ‘to conceal’, the term ‘jinn’ embodies the very essence of the occult and initiation into the magical arts of old and new. The Jinn are inspiring spirits of smokeless fire; beings that are both bestial and nearly angelic, possessing a small sense of divinity through this transforming, invisible fire.

Introduction
Begin your journey with an insightful introduction that sets the stage for an in-depth examination of the Jinn and their significance in various cultural and mystical traditions.

Chapter One: Origins and Mysticism
Discover the ancient origins of the Jinn, their role in magick, and their depiction in Muslim imagination and Ibn ‘Arabi’s mysticism. Explore the connections between Arabian and Syrian deities and the celestial bodies that influence their stories.

Chapter Two: States of Existence
Uncover the three states of existence—the Celestial, the Imaginal, and the Terrestrial—and their relevance to the Jinn. This chapter provides a detailed analysis of how these states interact and manifest in the world of the Jinn. The Luciferian methodology of both theurgy and sihr (black magic) are presented in a practical way.

Chapter Three: The Dark Entities
Meet the dark and powerful entities such as Iblîs (Azāzīl al-Shayāṭīn), Tabi'ah, and the various types of Jinn including GHŪL, SI’LAH, and ‘IFRIT. Learn about their characteristics, stories, and the roles they play in the realm of Arabic black magic and Western demonology.

Chapter Four: Rituals and Sorcery
Dive into the practical aspects of Arabic magic and sorcery. This chapter covers names of power, rituals, talismans, and the intricate practices of knot magic and color symbolism. Discover the secrets of invoking powerful entities and the lore behind them.

The living grimoire uses instructive texts, outlining methods in which spirits may be invoked or evoked, spells cast, and the Great Work of Magick and Sorcery performed. The Jinn, identical in essence to the western concept of Demons, are presented from a Luciferian perspective rather than an Islamic one. Elements of Sufi metaphysics are entwined with aspects of Islamic Magic, yet Luciferians are not theologically bound to the cosmology centered around Allâh.

Michael W. Ford’s research and ritual workings focus on theurgy and black magic as an inner and outer exploration and journey, with minimal emphasis on lesser practices such as love, destruction, and seeking material wealth. Basic structures derived from various Arabic traditions serve as a foundation, with the Sorcerous Arte of Sihr designed as a multi-layered gateway to the Spirits of Smokeless Flame.

This grimoire is what Sufi poet and philosopher Ibn ‘Arabi (1165–1240) would identify as barzakh, a meeting point between the unseen and visible realms, or heaven and earth. It encompasses the world of spirits and the world of physical bodies, providing a profound exploration of these two aspects within the cosmos.
