The Sigil Of Asmoday(Asmodeus)
Now,
this is an interesting one.... its similarities to the seal of
PAZUZU in the Necronomicon are uncanny... almost as if it were
combined with the seal of HUMWAWA with some fancy touches put
to it. Asmodeus is often used in rituals involving Lust. Now,
the combination between Lust, Disease, Decay, and Death equals
out to the modern plague, the AIDS virus. TheSimonomicon refers
to Humwawa as the god of decay, but actual Sumerian mythology
has him as the gaurdian of the cedar tree...not any cedar but
an important one to the myths.
The name, Asmodeus, comes from the (hebrew, maybe?) name Asmoday.
Collin De Plancy's Dictionaire Infernale lists Asmodeus as the
destroyer. Francis Barrett's The Magus calls him the Prince of
Vengeance. Johan Weyer's Hierarchy of Hell says he's the lord
of gambling (now theres an odd one). Sebastien Michaelis's Histoire
admirable de la Possession et conversion d'une penitente(wow)
puts him in power of luxury, quite the change. Peter Binsfeld's
Demons of the Seven Deadly Sins speaks of him as being in control
of the sin of lechery. With all of these attributes in mind, he
does bear resemblenses to Pazuzu and Humwawa, beyond just the
sigilic similarities, which are hard to deny short of claiming
coincedence. It makes me wonder where Peter Levenda got the seal
of Pazuzu from the Necronomicon. Maybe he did uncover an ancient
text... which he possibly used somewhat basis for certain parts
of his "Simonomicon". I have heard talks of an actual text in
a London museum resembling the myths of the Necronomicon, though
these are highly unfounded. |
