"Prayer to Pazuzu"

O Pazuzu, King of the demons of the wind!
You who are furious, terrifying,
And most splendid!
Please hear my humble prayer.

The world denounces You as evil,
Yet You were there in ancient times,
Protecting women and children
During the dangerous transition of birth.

The world fears and loathes You,
And yet You do not care,
For the safety of the innocent is Your utmost priority.

Lord, I have seen things that should not be.
I have seen the face of Your dreaded nemesis.
I have seen Lamashtu, and my soul bleeds
From the cruelties by which she is known.

I yearn for Your strength, Great PAZUZU,
For I know in my heart of hearts
That there is nothing You despise more
Than violence against the defenseless.

Put me to Your work, O Divine Exorcist;
Help me to stand against Lamashtu whenever I must!
Let me not be frozen in her gaze;
Let me not be silenced by her defenders.

HAIL PAZUZU! So mote it be.

Originally a word, designated the quarter-days of the lunar cycle (Full, New, First & Last Quarter) thus occurring about every 7 days.

Minor Sabbats (or quarter days) are the 2 & 2 since they quarter the year.

Major Sabbats (or cross-quarter days) bisect the 4 quarters of the solstices & equinoxes. This makes them power-days due to the climax of nature's energy before its decline, similar to peaks & wanes of full moon energy

Babylonian square root
Compute √a like a ....1) Make a guess x₀ > 0 for √a2) The average x₁ = ½ (x₀ +a/x₀) is closer to √a than either x₀ or a/x₀3) Iterating step 2 gives you a sequence x₁, x₂, x₃, ... that converges to √a .

YES!!! This is what I needed because I’ve been obsessing over how on earth four cups can be drunk (remember I’ve been reading about in the ).

Thankfully @MiriamAnzovin explains.

There are other workarounds for other contexts I think, but this is the one.

Improperly translated Sun Tablet (840 BCE during Elijah drought). This was found at Sippar and now resides at the British Museum. Their translation is completely wrong. While other museums are not posting these old and incorrect translations, the British Museum continues to push a Bible biased fake history.

The image labels describe a tug-of-war between the astrological powers above and the crafters holding onto the table of the sun. The label shown when correctly translated reads:

"1. The confused spewing-forth (of fertility-fluids) is opening arousal. Support considerations (focused emotions) with magic-crafting.
2. Notice the eye-of-fate (middle sun) and the night's support."

So even when translated correctly those not having a magickal education will not understand it because the ancient paradigm (framework of thought) is different from today's.

Some interesting texts are being recovered from clay tablet fragments. I love trying to imagine how people saw life four thousand years ago.

AI is being used to make readable translations of the most ancient writings in the world. “It's a tool that didn't exist before, a huge database of fragments. We believe it can play a vital role in reconstructing Babylonian literature, allowing us to make much faster progress.” phys.org/news/2023-02-ai-texts?

The Neo-Babylonian Empire had Tayma (today in Saudi Arabia) as its capital from 553–543 BC. It is in this period we see Aramean and Babylonian gods introduced to Tayma in addition to the local dieties.

This wiki post in Arabic and English, discusses the Pantheon of Tayma

The question is how do we as society, as culture maintain our knowledge and cultural riches. As society in general, but also as subcultures. The epic of lives on until today, saved and memorized on clay tablets. How will our contemporary culture survive without getting annihilated in the digital void?
