Djibril - Faithful Spirit.
The Muslem version of the archangel Gabriel. On the "Night
of Power and Glory," an Arabic speaking Djibril came
to the prophet Mohammad and dictated to him the heavenly
copy of the Koran. Djbril was an awesome sight. His green
wing spanned much of the horizon, and between the two
eyes of his shining face were written the words: "There
is no God but God, and Mohammed is the Prophet of God."
With Djbril guiding him, Mohammed mounted a magical mule
with wings and a woman's face called the Buraq ("Lightning")
and flew off into the night with Gabriel. Then: Stepping
off the top of one of Islam's holiest shrines, the Dome
of the Rock (which stands on the ruins of the Second Jewish
Temple), Mohammed climbed a golden ladder to ascend to
the various heavens, running into Isa (Jesus) and Idris
(Hermes), Moses, Abraham and Adam, and the archangel Mikel
(Michael). Mohammed finally entered a huge ocean of golden
light, where he received knowledge of divine - before
returning to earth. Among other duties in Moslem folklore,
Djibril comforted Adam after his fall from grace, taught
the first man the civilized arts, and even took him to
the Moslem holy city Mecca to teach him the rites involved
in making pilgrimages. In Moslem legend, Djibril has 600
or more wings and the sun interposed between his eyes.
Djin - Helper of the Archangel Gabriel.
He is an Elemental King, sphere of fire. He looks somewhat
elderly, yet has great muscles. He has flames for hair
and is a King of Fire. He can teach you the ways to
use fire in magickal workings. He can also bring rituals
that you never knew existed and give them to you as
gifts.
*From the Koran - The Djin (Jinn) are a race of beings
created by Allah to serve Him. They are not His children,
nor are they deities. They were created from searing
hot, smokeless fire, some time before humans were created
from clay. Since the Koran also states that the Angels
were created from fire, it would seem that the Djin
and the Angels are the same kind of beings.
However, it is rare that the Koran speaks of "Angels
and Jinn" in the same sentence, but often speaks
of "Men and Jinn" in one breath. It would
seem that the Jinn have a strong interest in consorting
with humans, and especially in helping them to stray
from the one-true-God. Not entirely, though, as there
is at least one reference to Jinn who are righteous
and hear the Word of Allah. With those exceptions, we
expect that most humans and most Jinn will get their
"come-uppance" on judgment day and they (we)
will not be pleased with the results.
In summary, it would appear that according to the Koran,
the Jinn are a species related to Angels which tend
to consort with human-kind to the detriment of both.
Exceptions noted.

Dubbiel (Dobiel or Dubiel) - Dubbiel was originally the

resumed his original position and Dubbiel was demoted.
Eventually, Dubbiel, along with all other guardian angels

Dubbiel records all of the sins of Israel, hoping that
God will expunge the country and all its inhabitants from
