Naturally there is a lot of Estella in me, but she is more of a distant faraway cousin who lives in another reality. The first time I saw one of these Djinns, there were women and men playing on drums around the shrine of a marabout saint (sidi mahrez), when I first saw the entity I was in awe, because it meant to me there was more to our reality.
I only ever spoke about this to people from my own culture, we don't talk about it with westerners, because it would not be believed.
Believing in magic was normal where I came from and holy men would exorcise spirits from people routinely, it was the culture, and it marked me deeply, me who grew up reading dark fairy tales that turned out to have a grain of truth in them.
