Pazuzu Is Out Of Commision For Awhile, Don't summon him. Options

Please do not attempt to summon or call Pazuzu for awhile. My friends and I shut him up in the Bottomless Pit with Divine Assistance, and the gods have promised that in return, a cure for AIDS is on the way. Please let the sleeping dog lie for the foreseeable future so that we can get this vital medicine out into the world. If you absolutely insist on working with him, use the ritual for communicating with a dead god (I think its in the Urilia text).

Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

Although I am sure that in the work and this message you meant well, the necronomicon is a book available in several different languages, and in every part of the civilized world. The likelihood that no one else in the world will attempt to summon pazuzu seems a bit of a stretch.

Although I am not entirely skeptical of the idea that an entity of that magnitude can be sealed away, as it were, my experience with the mechanics related to non-physical beings and consciousness across a large area tends to suggest that it would be an endeavor much greater than just you and your friends, divine assistance or otherwise - the divine is in you, me, and all other living beings, and although an entity may be given the proper environment in which to manifest itself more 'directly' in the material world, the greater part of their involvement must be understood from the context of the cultures which first named and worked with/against these beings.

Zeus does not just throw thunderbolts, he is the storm; Artemis does not simply bless the hunt, she is the hunt; Athena does not simply purvey wisdom, she is the substance of wisdom. Pazuzu is not just the giver of disease, he is sickness, disease, decay. When an ancient village was stricken with a plague, they may very well have either appeased Pazuzu or warded against his influence through another god, however the act of sealing him away from a village all together would be a community effort, lead by the priest/priesthood of the locals. Even appeasement was a community effort, hence the ritual and even celebration surrounding things like human sacrifice, etc.

As long as people expect sickness, as long as they 'wish' sickness on others out of anger or perhaps even jokingly (and people do), as long as we accept that sickness is possible and see any particular disease as 'incurable' or 'unstoppable' - humanity will continue to keep Pazuzu not only free, but thriving. And so with other entities of disease, who in my opinion are only the associated names of the same ultimately archetypal element of universal consciousness (not necessarily 'human' consciousness).

If you want to gain the favor the summerian/babylonian gods, I would think the best way to get them to do favors would be to entreat them as their original worshipers did, and that should not be an option to anyone who thinks of them self as a just, moral, or humanitarian individual.
