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.

In Necronomicon Ereshkigal is somehow linked to Tiamat and the forces of Chaos. This is not correct! Ereshkigal is actually very similar to the Hellenic goddess Persephone. They rule over the Chthonic kingdom of the dead, but they are NOT viewed as "Satanic" or "Anti-cosmic".

You are wrong. I am not going to tip toe through the tulips about this since you sound like an intelligent person. You could not be further from the truth other than you statement that they serve a non-satanic function. The Necronomicon does not link Ereshkigal to Tiamat in any way. Perhaps to the lay reader of the book it does but a quick read over it and a bit of investigation shows quite the contrary. The Necronomicon encourages the experienced Priest to investigate the Underworld and to ensure that its forces know their place. The Necronomicon gives its operators the responsibility of keeping the balance between the Underworld and the Earth. It is no surprise that Enki, the Necronomicon's most important deity, lives in the Absu waters which are located between the Underworld and the Earth. Only when the operator gains some mastery over this balance is he then able to monitor the outside gates and keep them shut.....keep their forces at bay. It is also no mystery that Agents of the Ancient Ones, their priests and so forth, use the Underworld in their rituals, rites, and callings.

NO CLEARER IS THIS THAN IN THE NAME OF THEIR SACRIFICIAL BOWL, THE DUR OF INDUR.

The Necronomicon never states that Pazuzu is an Ancient One. The Urilla text likes to jumble Underworld deities and Ancient Ones together but any serious reading of the text reveals this not the be the case, nor the intent of the Author. One finds the outside through the Underworld, which is why the two are often mentioned in the same passages. It is also no secret that Underworld deities are used for curses much more often than Overworld deities. If the Priest is to root out evil, he or she must be familiar with both the Underworld and the Outside, another reason why the Urilla places them so close.

Look at Pazuzu's wings. Two are pointed up and two are pointed down, two to the heavens and two to the Underworld. This should clue in the operator that he embodies duality. One hand is lifted to the heavens, the other to the Underworld. He is both protector and destroyer. He both causes and takes away sickness. This does not mean that summoning or working with Pazuzu is like summoning the prince of cup-cakes. Think of Pazuzu as that friend of one of your friends who is an a$%*#!* and constantly has a splinter in his finger. He would probably have your back in a shit storm, but not always your first pick to drink a few beers with on a Saturday afternoon.

Pazuzu may give you life or death, remember he is a deity of duality. He is often a tempter who tests the Priest on his journey.

I also find your correlation between Persephone and Ereshkigal quite suspect.
