Integrating Magic, Religion, and Entities into Everyday Life

The speakers discuss the practicality of incorporating magic, religion, and various entities into daily life, viewing them as role-performing beings without labeling them as good or evil. They explore the figure of Pazuzu, his physical attributes, and symbolic meanings, as well as his role as a benevolent personal demon protecting against evil. The chapter also delves into the distinction between gods and demons, the lack of detailed mythological texts about demons in ancient Mesopotamia, and the political significance of gods and demons throughout history.
