Pazuzu Rising

Pazuzu, the demon of the southwest wind, was invoked in ancient Mesopotamia as protection against worse demons, and Baal Kadmon's Pazuzu Rising restores that paradox. The second book of the Mesopotamian Magick series opens with the basics of Mesopotamian demonology, then presents Pazuzu, asking whether a house divided against itself can stand, since the defender demon is himself a demon. Chapters cover Pazuzu in Israel and beyond and the author's own experiences with the entity. The ritual section then gives workings for the conquering of enemies, personal empowerment, physical healing, and the attainment of worldly wealth, each set inside the demon's traditional protective office. Kadmon's Mesopotamian books are the least crowded corner of his catalog, and this volume pairs with Tiamat Unveiled from the same series. Readers interested in the entities behind the Exorcist mythology will find the documented tradition here rather than the film version, along with a working practice.
