One Thousand and One Gods
Manage episode 290877224 series 2917097
Born of smokeless fires and scorching winds. They are the shadows on the walls, the creatures of the night, the others.
Imagine a world, where sandstorms are mighty creatures settling their scores. Imagine a world where these creatures are soul mates and blood brothers, who imitate your every move and your every speech. They follow you around, live with you and eat with you - they can even enter your body and drive you mad. This is how the ancient Arabs viewed their world and the Djinn which inhabited it. Like us, good and evil live within them, but their terrible power and mysterious ways make them a source of fear and awe. In this world divination and sorcery abound. The sacred and the profane were known to all and the Gods were as numerous as the stars.
Join us as we discuss the indigenous religion of the Arabs, their Gods, and the Djinn.
