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 just had another thought. I'm not saying I'm ever going to do it, but if I was feeling completely suicidal, one candidate for evocation for me would actually be Pazuzu. Simply because I'd want to set the record straight in my own head as to what he is really like, as opposed to all the various stuff about him that is floating around.
Of course, it's entirely possible that he's 100% as bad as he was depicted as being in The Exorcist, and then some, which means he's really not someone I'd want to have around.
I tend to find, however, that in the case of things that I'm afraid of, (and I will admit, I
am afraid of him, or at least have been in the past) I eventually get to the point where I want, if not confrontation as such, then at least an attempt at contact, desensitisation, integration, and closure.
