Etymology[edit]
In ancient Mesopotamia, Pazuzu is the name of a demon who was the personification of the western wind and held kingdom over wind demons. He was known for bringing famine during dry seasons and locusts during rainy seasons. Although he is considered an evil spirit, Pazuzu could also be called upon to ward off other malicious spirits, as well.
