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.

Could it then be that the writer of the Necronomicon (any of the several versions) had conjured his own spirits and bound them to the names of gods whose tales he did not know?

In that case I would say that he conjured spiritual forces and connected them to the names of gods whose tales he DID know about!
You know how I mean?

Names and forms of gods are only symbols and symbols can become re-charged. their value is not static and their essence can change and/or be replaced.

And example of this is Astaroth. Within the Qliphotic systems of magic Astaroth is a male demon of great power. But within the original context Astaroth is a name derived from the goddess Astarte. Astarte and Astaroth are now two totally different forces. So a name is just a name, what we mean by the name and the value that we charge it with is that which links it to the essence one can call forth through that name/word/symbol.

The gods are in essence nameless. Names are relative symbols with ever changing essence , dependinging on by whom they are used and on the context they can be connected to totally different forces.

So if he wanted to connect forces of Chaos and Order to the names of Babylonian and Lovecraftian mythos he could have done that. And if we invest belief into the system the names and symbols in question can be used in order to contact those spiritual forces.

It is the Will and Understanding of the magician that calls forth the gods and the spirits, the names used are only the tools we use to manifest that Will and Understanding.
