## Pop Culture

In Arabian folklore, genies wasn't called genies. Instead they were call Djin, Djinn, or simply Jinn. They occupy a world parallel to that of mankind. But people started calling them genies after the Disney movie Aladdin was released. Since then, there are many characters who are genies. This includes Desiree (Danny Phantom), Taj the Genie (Diddy Kong Racing), Judgement (JoJo's Bizarre Adventures Part III Stardust Crusaders), Gigi Grant (Monster High), and Shantae (Shantae).

## Life in the Hidden World

Genie Yokai usually lives inside magic lamps. Staying there until someone rub their lamps with their hands. Once someone does that, they appear from the smoke. These yokai would explain exactly who they are and what they do. Giving them a set of rules that they must follow. If their masters were to break any of their rules, the Genie Yokai would simply return to their magic lamps and refuse to come out. Traditional jinn are made of smokeless flame or are the spirits of dust devils (hence the term) and like human beings, they are both free-willed and can be good, evil, or neutral. They live in their own communities, are usually invisible to mortals and can change their shape. Modern genies are either connected to one of the classical elements or are extremely powerful magical beings that are able to grant wishes and manipulate reality on a large scale. Some of them are not bound by their law or are free willed and there are also some genie's that are bound by certain magical item.

## Symbolism

The genie gives them what they wish for, but the consequences are rarely positive. This leads to many morality tales about greed, selfishness, and unintended consequences. The person might have wished for endless riches, but they didn’t want that wealth to be taken from the poor. The symbolism here is easy to see: be careful what you wish for. Just because a genie grants your wish doesn’t mean you’ll get exactly what you want, or that what you want is what you actually wished for.
