“He who brings both plague and protection.”
Pazuzu is a powerful Mesopotamian daemon, known as the king of the wind demons. Often misunderstood, He is both feared and revered. He brings disease, famine, storms, and locusts, but is also invoked for protection -especially against other malevolent spirits like Lamashtu, who harms women and children.
Origin: Assyrian & Babylonian mythology
Symbolism: Duality of destruction and protection
Iconography: Winged humanoid with lion or dog-like face, scorpion tail, serpentine penis, and eagle talons
Powers: Control of winds, plague, disease, warding off evil, dominion over spirits
Offerings: Raw meat, bones, incense, blood, wine, sexual energy, wind-based rituals
🥩 WHY RAW MEAT?
Raw meat symbolizes primal offering, life force, and the unfiltered carnal world. To Pazuzu, it's a representation of both decay and desire—a proper tribute to a being that embodies both protection and pestilence.
🔮 RITUAL: OFFERING RAW MEAT TO PAZUZU
🕯️ What You Need:
A piece of raw meat (organ meat, like liver or heart, is potent; beef or lamb preferred)
Incense (sandalwood, myrrh, or desert herbs)
A representation of Pazuzu (statue, sigil, or image)
A bowl or surface for the offering
Optional: wine, blood, black candle, chanting bowl
🧿 Step-by-Step Offering Guide:
Prepare the Space
Cleanse the area with incense. Dim the lights or do the ritual by candlelight.
Place Pazuzu’s image or sigil at the center.
Call to PazuzuRecite or whisper a personal invocation, or use a traditional-style chant:"Pazuzu, Lord of the Four Winds, bringer of plague, guardian of thresholds—accept my offering, I call you forth between breath and bone."
Present the Meat
Place the raw meat on a bowl or flat surface before the image/sigil.
Optional: Drizzle wine or a drop of your own blood on the meat.
Make Your Request or Tribute
Ask for protection, knowledge, release from evil spirits, or simply offer homage.
Meditate in silence or chant his name rhythmically.
Let the Offering Sit
Leave the meat for a symbolic amount of time (e.g. 9 minutes, 3 hours, or overnight).
Some practitioners bury it, burn it, or leave it in nature afterward.
❓ CAN I EAT THE MEAT AFTER OFFERING?
No.Once the offering is made to Pazuzu—or to any spirit/demonic entity—the item becomes sacred, symbolic, and energetically altered. Consuming it is disrespectful, and potentially dangerous spiritually and energetically.
Instead:
Dispose of the meat by burying it, offering it to scavengers (crows, dogs, etc.), or burning it in fire (if appropriate).
Never reuse the offering or share it with others.
Consider it a complete act of devotion and exchange, not a “loan.”
🌬️ Final Notes on Working with Pazuzu:
Pazuzu is not evil, but primal and forceful. Treat him with respect, but not fear.
He responds well to rituals done during windy weather, twilight hours, or during periods of illness (when seeking protection).
Do not demand, but rather exchange -you give, he may give in return.
Offerings of breath (exhalation), incense smoke, or bodily essence can accompany the meat for deeper connection.
