The Pazuzu Labubu Possession Parallel is Ridiculous! Who Pazuzu REALLY is.

 


I am sure by now everyone has heard of the viral stuffed toys called Labubus. And if you have children, you may even own one. For a while now I have sat on the fence about whether to jump into the discussion. However, now that they are bringing Pazuzu into the mix, I feel it may actually be long overdue. Plus, I can't let them do my guy Paz like that.

First, the Labubu is a little creature that to me actually more resembles the characters from the children's book “Where the Wild Things Are” by Maurice Sendak. Due to their current TikTok status, these things sell for anywhere from $50 to close to $200 US dollars. It really seems like everyone is talking about these whimsical little beasts. However, as with anything else, they are now shrouded in conspiracy. Claims that these dolls are vessels for the demon Pazuzu are at the top of the list. There are videos circulating all over the internet of priests actually blessing these children's toys, as well as parents snatching them from their kids and setting them on fire. Which, as a side note, is probably more traumatizing for your kid than the doll itself. But, hey, you do you, I guess.

So, who is Pazuzu? As a Demonolater and a studying Demonologist (uncertified at the time of this writing, and studying toward my proper titles), we are going to approach this from a blank paper start, instead of through the gateway of Christian fear-mongering and Hollywood films. Pazuzu’s origins can be traced to the Neo-Assyrian and Neo-Babylonian time frames. He is a prominent figure in Mesopotamian Mythology. At the surface, he is categorized and titled as the Demon ruler of the southwestern (evil) winds. These winds he is responsible for are said to carry things like plagues and other unfortunate events. However, there is more historical evidence of his role as a protector than as a destroyer.

During his most influential time in civilization, he shared supernatural space with a female-formed demon called Lamashtu. She was thought to bring on the death of small children and newborns and was often associated with tragic occurrences such as “SIDS” or sudden infant death syndrome. In the 8th century BCE, there is much evidence in the form of protective amulets and other ancient texts of Pazuzu being called upon to protect mothers and their infants from horrific loss. Actually, Pazuzu presents more as a rather benevolent entity who was very important to the daily life of the Mesopotamians. While he was capable of wrath and violence, his common theme was guardianship. Kind of like God, right?

The turning point for Pazuzu was thanks to the Pop Culture film The Exorcist. Here he is portrayed as a violently malevolent demonic figure. His actual history is completely erased and his true and important purpose throughout cultural history was completely rewritten. And, because it’s Hollywood, the masses absorbed this version of Pazuzu, and not his origins. The reason he was not discussed or debated much before this was largely due to him being a rather obscure figure in comparison to the more popular topics within Occult circles, such as the Ars Goetia demons. So, there really was not a lot of scholarly pushback when the movie destroyed his reputation. It is actually rather reminiscent of what happened with Pan. If you know, you know.

Keeping all of that in mind, I do believe in attachments to objects. I have seen it with my own eyes. And I have an attached doll or two right here in my home who are rather uneventful much of the time, because this is not Hollywood. However, the idea that an ancient Demon in a rather high position within his pantheon is wasting his precious time hanging out inside hundreds of thousands of fuzzy little keychains is pretty ridiculous. Actually, it’s embarrassing to think that as advanced as we are as human beings we still collectively fall victim to fear-based mania as if it is 1823 and we have all been convinced that the sky is falling.

Labubus are not possessed or attached by Pazuzu. I swear to you, we will have a sky full of flying cars and still as a society have not an ounce more common sense.

Be Blessed,

Dena

Rewriting the Dark: Hekate in the Age of Comfort | From Blood to Bouquets: Hekate's Image in Modern Witchcraft

 Recently, I mentioned a Facebook group post I had come across in which a young “witch” was expressing her concern for her friend using naughty baneful Magick. And so, naturally, she needed to know how to tattle-tale to the great Hekate, in hopes this peaceful Deity would punish her for her wicked ways. Come the fuck on. There are many Gods and Goddesses who are systematically being transformed into fluff bunnies. However, poor Hekate seems to be the most utilized victim of this injustice. And she is taking a huge hit in the reputation department to pander to this new wave of “baby witches” who seem to need weighted blankets and someone to hold their hand to simply wake up in the morning. Hekate is not a nature Goddess of safe darkness and theatrical dark romance. The true history of Hekate is far from the sanitized, benevolent image presented by many in contemporary spiritual circles. She was not a gentle guide or maternal protector, but a formidable and feared deity associated...

The Trad Witch Kitchen: Easy Banana Blueberry Bread - There is Magick in Everything We Do.

  The Trad Witch Kitchen: Easy Banana Blueberry Bread Welcome back to The Trad Witch Kitchen ! I created this series because I truly believe that every aspect of our life is ritual and Magick . Our Spirituality doesn’t begin and end at the altar. When we live each moment with intention—whether we’re sweeping the floor, tending the garden, or baking bread—we align ourselves with abundance. Whether you work closely with Spirits, honor Deities, or simply dabble in Magick, remember this: you manifest through action and the subconscious. A clean home, a nourished body, a lovingly prepared meal—these are all sacred acts. For me, baking is a form of meditation. It centers me. There’s something so deeply fulfilling about making delicious food from ingredients I’ve grown myself or sourced ethically. And when I leave offerings to the house Spirits, Entities, or even Demons I find they carry even more power when they’re made with my own two hands—from herbs I’ve gathered or bread I’ve baked. ...
