Greetings,
Well, historically Pazuzu did not have the role of Satan within the Babylonian religion, as shown in the information that I already have posted. But it all depends on how Satan is viewed. With Satan do you mean a servant and tester/punisher working for "god"? Or do you mean the Enemy of God and Lord of the Forces of Chaos?
Pazuzu would fit better the first description (servant and punisher in service of the god).
For many years ago I used the power connected to the Necronomicon sigil of Pazuzu, yes. It was within a black magical context and the goal of the ritual was to make sick an enemy. And it worked!
The person in question did quit his job because of undisclosed sickness (they did not tell people what his sickness was, as they do not give out personal information like that).
But the ritual I used was not really based on what is given in the Necronomicon. It was a more traditional evocation kind of deal, with a pact and certain offerings given in exchange of the service I needed. Half of the offerings were given during the first ritual and the other half was given after my goal was achieved.
So I have some experience with him, yes.
