Abstract
The Sufism of the Sahel has a great symbolic richness. The elaborate cosmologies of Akbarian Sufism, in which neo-Sufism is inspired, are interspersed with millenary traditions where the genius (ǧinn) and the angel (malak) coexist with humans as once the natural spirits and ancestors did. This paper outlines, from the fieldwork and the written sources, an approach to a symbolic reading of the relations between humans, angels and geniuses in the Sufism of the Fulani people. This study focuses, mainly, in the experience and narratives of the Senegalese Sufi master Thierno Ḥassan Dem.
