In this episode of the Mythical Madam Podcast, June delves into the complex mythology of Pazuzu, the demon king of ancient Mesopotamia. Often misunderstood, Pazuzu embodies both fear and protection, serving as a guardian against worse evils like the demoness Lamashtu. The conversation explores Pazuzu’s dual nature, his historical significance, and the artifacts that reveal how ancient cultures interacted with this figure. As Halloween approaches, the episode reflects on the enduring legacy of Pazuzu and hints at the next episode’s focus on the Day of the Dead and Akashi Watto.
