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.

I've seen Pazuzu a number of times now, recently awsell. The first time was when I was lying in the police station cell (I'd been arrested for possession of cannabis). It was about 3am and I had only eaten half a sausage roll throughout the whole day and I won't eat the food they offer lol so I was quite hungry and cold and I couldn't sleep very well knowing the police were on their way to search my premises. When I tried to close my eyes for some rest I saw him, it was just the upper half of his body, it was like he was waving with his hand up the way it is depicted and his mohawk, he was just like the statues. I have no idea why I saw this but about a week later while I was 'mentally' preparing for my court date I saw him again, I think it had something to do with the hightened levels of stress and I hadn't had a decent spliff for atleast 4 days which is rare for me because I managed to maintain a routine of having atleast 1 spliff every night. I just don't know why I saw him, maybe he has attached himself to me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
What I know of Pazuzu and i'm not sure its correct but Pazuzu has something to do with disease and plague. Maybe that can go with the plaguing of the mind (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused012.gif)

I have to wonder, actually, why Pazuzu was the specific entity chosen for The Exorcist.

I had heard that the film was meant to be based on a true story, but I didn't think Pazuzu was supposed to be involved with that particular case. It also doesn't make much real sense to use him in the film from a Judeo/Christian perspective, either; Pazuzu is a godform in another religion, and surely Judaism has a sufficiently complex demonological system of its' own that they could have come up with a more recognisable entity from there?

The other thing that bothers me about the film is that in it, Pazuzu was supposedly summoned via the use of a Ouija board. I can remember reading elsewhere here that generally the more big league (and negative) an entity is, usually means the harder it is to summon. If that's true, I find it very difficult to believe that a being as powerful as Pazuzu could be summoned simply by a Ouija board.

As yet a third point, why would Pazuzu voice blasphemies/profanity that was specifically relevant to Catholicism as a specific religion? Pazuzu, if I'm not mistaken, was Babylonian. To me it would make a lot more sense that if he was going to scream at someone, he would use phrases that were relevant to that religion, not Christianity as such.

Maybe I'm clueless, though.
