Demonic creatures that have
an aberrant form, which were created out of a flame. The Bosnian people describe
the Jinn as small creatures with one eye and a tail. Each Jinn is limping. Even
though they can take various human or animal forms they prefer to appear to
humans in a form of a dark man (dark silhouette) whose face can never be seen.
They also like to show themselves in a form of a black dog, a cat or a snake. It
is believed that the Jinn are faithful servants but also masters of witches and
wizards. When the Jinn want to seduce and subject someone to them, they dance a
fiery circle and call out the name of the one they want. This usually happens
when that person is sleeping. Jinn can dance a circle during the day but at that
time in a whirlwind, that is why people avoid whirlwinds to this day. It is
believed that as soon as the human utters: "In the name of Allah, Most Gracious,
Most Merciful" and blows towards the whirlwind, that the whirlwind will
disappear.
