Marid


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.




Marid (Arabic : مارد ) (common mythos) is a djinn related to element water. In sorcery books Jinn are classified into four races after the classical elements, viz. Earth, Air, Fire and Water. A Marid is a djinn related to the element water. As common in the occult, accounts differ, but it is often described as the most powerful type of djinn, and the most arrogant and proud as well. Female or male, its skin is deep blue or green, and its hair always looks wet and wavy, as though underwater. They are assumed to have great powers over their element and, just like every djinn, they have free will yet could be compelled to perform chores, they have the ability to grant wishes to mortals, but that would usually require battle, and according to some sources; imprisonment, rituals or just a great deal of plain flattery.[edit]
