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.

Well, if you study the role that Pazuzu had within the practical magic and religion of ancient Babylon you will find that he was more a banisher of death than what he was a death bringer.

Almost all Pazuzu statues, amulets and pictures that are found had the function of repelling the Evil Goddess Lamashtu. I have never found an incantation or banishing that is AGAINST Pazuzu himself. He was feared, yes, but was mainly used as a protective and powerful force against Lamashtu.

As I have understood it Pazuzu was actually depicted on amulets that protected against the Child Killing Fever that was caused by the death dealing touch of Great Lamashtu.

Search for information about Pazuzu outside the lore of Necronomicon and the movie The Exorcist and you will find information that is very different to what most people connect to him.

He had control over the hot and disease bringing wind, but his practical role within the operative sorcery was to protect childbearing mothers and infants from sickness and death.

Yeah I know all this! Oh my GOD! Thank you! Just now as I read this I somehow got the feeling that it's something people did not understand about Pazuzu! Now maybe I know why he killed some people for me! It's not about the powers but as a way to have justice done. Now I remember something about Pazuzu that I will tell you. He was respected but only by those who understood him and those who did not, well they feared him like you said. Anyways it does not matter because people at one point when they feared witches, they killed them. Thanks to you I somehow found out some confusion that somehow the Elder Gods would not really reveal to me but then again the contract is specific. Thanks again! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/922.gif)
