Pazuzu Sigil Options

Have you ever placed the Pazuzu sigil over the picture on the image of the Pazuzu statue?

Try and you will see that the sigil is based on its shape and marks out its head, wings, arm, legs and feet. I would say this sigil is a sigilic drawing of the Pazuzu statue. The Humwawa sigil is also based on the traditional face of Humbaba.

Interesting.

Hi All!
Interesting topic!

I would say that I can definitely see the resemblance of the sigils to the statues and particulalry in the case of the Pazuzu sigil with the arrows seeming to follow or outline the direction of the arms rather than the wings, say; and probably the round bit in the middle of the sigil corresponding to the groin area of the statue...

With the Humwawa sigil, it certainly seems to follow the contours of the mask to a great degree and also seems to strengthen the concept of "...his face is like that of the coiled entrails of men and beasts..."

From what you are saying Scorpionis and Edunpanna, it seems to me that Pazuzu as a whole might have been eventually possibly incorporated into christianity and evolved into the modern concepts of the Devil, as Pazuzu's legend in the first part where he is fitting the first description as a servant and punisher in service of god - as he was the angel Lucifer - God's mightiest angel before the Fall, then he became too prideful and challenged or disagreed with God and became the Devil and has all the attributes of Pazuzu perhaps and has now become the Devil archetype?

That all said, I don't have any experience with Pazuzu - yet? That ritual you mentioned using his power sounds interesting though, Scorpionis!

Nice one guys!

I wonder if there is any other overlap between the sigils and other depictions of the gods, demons etc? say any of the 50 names, Lilit, Xastur, etc?
