Faeires And Jinn, whats the difference? Options

whats the difference between faeries and the jinn?

i'm trying to work with the fetish, and charm a jinn into it, and i notice a resembelance between the jinn and the feiries (fire-eis)

i've got some energy in the stone, but it is more fairey than jinn - they are both fire?

what about elves and the rest of the fairy kingdom, and why does this draw me so...

this is what i have so far (pre-published)

The Jinn are a shifted people, a lot like faeries or elves.

Christian sources call them the demon-spirits and lump them in with the demons, but Islamic sources call them djinn and recognise them as being fire, but after meeting some of them, i see them as more elemental - possibly even four or five different types of jinn.

Some call them fairies or elves, but i'm beginning to think the fairies, elves (alf), etc. are all just jinn - jinn is also genie and genius is someone who is either a reincarnation of, or is being taught (non-physical stuff, cause they don't know physical stuff) by a jinn.

As for 'doing stuff' (at least here on earth) - they don't seem to be much help - i mean they can only do the same base magickal stuff we can do - they don't have a physical form either, so they're limited in what they can do.

As for seeing them - some say, at least for first meeting, for at least a week or two prior wear mostly natural-fiber clothes and remove all metals (what about fillings in teeth and other medical stuff that can't come out?), purify youself inwardly with good thought (i try to keep holding a visualization of perfectly clear pure water becoming ice and back again) and outwardly with a ritual bath, go to someplace deserted where you will not be seen or overheard, sit dead still (with no music, drugs or alcohol - completely pure and thinking pure thoughts) and call with all your heart for the jinn to come, make it the greatest longing in the world for you to see them, and if you are patient enough they will come - do not move when you see them or show tons of surprise and start clicking pictures - imagine meeting strangers in a mall that you heard crying out longingly to meet you, and you came to see what the problem was - they are going to be very wary - give them your name and ask a name from them - then just talk as you would to some humans you just met for the first time (normal or magickal? of your own age or talk to them like kids?) - always remember they don't need you nor do they care what happens to you, and they have their own problems (see if you can help them with something i the physical).

As for their helping you, it depends on the problem, i guess - especially if its something physical then i doubt it - if its something on the other plane then yes they could probably help, but you would have to spell it out exactly for them cause they don't think like we do - and image yourself being called to 'help' someone, you'd want something in return - and they don't use money, so an evil jinn (someone who has had contact with humans and taken energy, blood or soul in exchange for services) may want more for their services that you should be prepared to give (which is the source of the christian 'pact with demons' malarky).

They are truly great companions with much to teach if you let them, but as employees i'm afraid nothing would ever get done and it would be a constant battle and a bigger mess than ever before.
