From an article about Pazuzu:

"Although they are often classified as either evil or protective in modern scholarship, supernatural beings in ancient references seem to be presented as largely amoral. Their harmful or beneficial effects could be manipulated: they could be appeased with offerings and incantations, and even directed against each other by a skilled practitioner of magic."

Ever play Empire of the Petal Throne? #EmpireOfThePetalThrone #Tsolyánu #ttrpg

Here are my books, #Mitlanyál volumes 1 and 2, which are game content books describing the 20 gods of #Tsolyánu, the 'protagonist nation' of my friend Professor MAR Barker's "Empire of the Petal Throne," the first role-playing game setting ever published, back in 1975. I gamed with Barker for 22 years and wrote these books to help gamers determine which god their characters should follow.
