Jindet in Albanian mythology
Jindet in Albanian mythology

Like the Devil, the Devils have entered Albanian demonology from the sphere of demonology of monotheistic religions, specifically from Islamic demonology.

The jinn of Albanian popular superstition are found everywhere at night, outside in the garden or in the toilet. The places where they like to gather are the mouths of the rivers, where the raindrops are poured from the pool. Therefore, one should not walk or pour thin water at night without saying destur and bismillah. For the same reason, the women were also careful not to throw away the hot water with which they had washed the bride's henna, because if they burned any jinn, the bride would be scalded.

In different regions it is believed that they come down the streams at night, beating drums and making great potter.

In Korça, they don't leave the water of the dead on the fire themselves, because they say Jinds drink it.

But in Tirana, when they put the baby in the cradle for the first time, they put a nail and a bag full of flax seeds under the bed, so that when the Djindas come to take the baby, they forget counting the millet grains and don't harm the child.

In Labëri, the pregnant woman is not allowed to go outside for forty days: they say that if she goes out before this time, she will be slapped, because she will step on them, and thus she will fall ill and pass out.

When they are singing, it should not be said that they are singing Jindet, but Shtojzovallet (Add-God-Dances). Even these disappear after listening to the song of the songstress: '...the kokoshi sang and the jinn ran away' [Pedersem, Maro Përhitura]. In the North, a man who suffers from the disease of the earth is told "Have you ever stepped on the trevez of fairies?". Similarly, according to popular belief, a person can be "slapped if he steps on the mahogany (treveza) of Jinde.

Based on this data, it seems to us that the Genie of popular beliefs is nothing but a stunted and contaminated Fairy by one of the most popular figures of Islamic demonology, the Genie ('genie' in the singular).
