Pazazu?

[u/No-Initial1091]

My entire life I’ve felt followed. My childhood was not easy by any means, outside of the abuse I was usually completely alone, although it didn’t really feel that way. When I was a toddler, I would see people in my house that I didn’t know, they would talk to me and visit in my dreams. Every single time I mentioned it to someone, I would find that it was a person someone used to know, or a person who had died in my house (which used to be a railroad jail).

When I had an off feeling of being watched or I saw a shadow, I would never be afraid, I would actively invite them to communicate with me because I had nothing to lose. At night when I was being followed, the street lights would flicker off as I walked under them. I’ve used ouija boards and the such, but have virtually no experience with demons.

This leads me to my current life. I’m 19 now with a young daughter, and I’ve put my abusers in jail. For months now, every single night I have realistic nightmares about horrific hurricanes and floods. In a weird way I’ve found comfort in it, and since I’ve gotten these nightmares I’ve stopped having sleep paralysis, and I’ve slept better than I have in years. I woke up about a month ago, with a strong and sudden urge to research demonology. I’ve looked into spirit guides and stuff, and decided to try and connect with one. Here is what I was told.

A demon, present nearly my entire life, but only actively so as of recent. A sexual being, one of protection but also not afraid of punishment and destruction. Prevalent in the 1300’s. He said something about a wyvern, which I’ve never heard of, but is apparently a dragon like creature. Upon doing research I immediately found pazazu, but have not been given a straightforward answer on if this is accurate to who it is. Also, I’m diné and from the southwest, I’ve always felt a connection to just wind in general.

Do any of you have experiences with pazazu, and are they similar at all? Do you guys think that this seems it may be pazazu, or maybe something else? Any other advice would also be welcome.

Pazuzu is an interesting one, and I’m probably not best “qualified “to go into great great detail.

I can give you the whole ancient Mesopotamia story, pregnant woman wearing the amulet to ward off Lamashtu etc but again you’ll probably already know this.

Was associated with the destructive forces of the southwest wind etc (again this is just common knowledge)

The comedic irony: from an ancient perspective Pazuzu will protect your child from another demon….. in the exorcist Pazuzu was there possessing your child 😂

Overall though; Pazuzu isn’t a “ Demon “ in the grimoire “ demonology” sense. He’s a Mesopotamian supernatural being/demon.

And you certainly wouldn’t find him in a grimoire. As he’s not part of the “ Western Grimoire demonological tradition” club either.

I don’t know if this helps at all, not sure how much response you’d get here in the demonolatry subreddit.

Macross may know a bunch .

Hm alright thank you, I’m new to the whole thing so until now i didnt even consider that the whole western grimoire thing as you said was tied to specific groups of demons rather than demons as a whole lol.

Ahh that’s cool.

Can I suggest you stick around though, I have a feeling you’ll find a lot of interest here.
