Curson the Kurs

**Curson the Kurs** or Purson (Sumerian: Pazuzu), is a Great King appearing comely, like a Man with a Lion’s face, carrying a cruel Viper in his hand, and riding upon a Bear. Going before him are many Trumpets sounding. He knoweth all things hidden, and can discover Treasure, and tell all things Past, Present, and to Come. He can take a Body either Human or Aërial.

The Spirit of Curson is embodied in Pazuzu, guardian of Kur. Pazuzu has wings and the head of a lion. He rides his brother Humbaba who is large like a bear, with a flowing beard and wild hair. Humbaba lived in Cedar Forest before it became desolate by the Arabian Desert.

In Pazuzu's left hand, which is always depicted being downward, he holds a cruel serpentine viper. In Sumerian culture, he was called upon to ward off Lamashtu, stealer of babies and causer of miscarriages. Lamashtu is called Lilith in Judaism.

Pazuzu answereth truly of all Earthly things both Secret and Divine, and of the Creation of the World. He is guardian of Kur (Sumerian Cuneiform: 𒆳 meaning "Mountain") and King of Dilmun. Since the time of creation, Dilmun is a paradise where predators do not kill, pain and diseases are absent, and people do not get old. The creation story and Dilmun are variously described in the epics of *Enki and Ninhursag* and *Enlil and Ninlil*.

The original meaning of Kur 𒆳 is "mountain" and in Sumerian context refers to 'The Mountain of God', such as Mt. Horeb and the Burning Bush in Judasim, and Mt. Olympus in Greek mythology. However, its meaning decayed over time to become bastard concepts such as "netherworld" or "Hell". The complete scope of Kur is that God's throne is on top of the mountain, and inside the mountain exists an underworld. Those who live inside the mountain are called Kurs.

Dilmun is Paradise and is the basis for the prophecies of Isaiah 65:25, "The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord."; and also John in Revelation 21:4, "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."

    Pazuzu bringeth forth good Familiars, and under his Government there be 22 Legions of Spirits, partly of the Order of Virtues and partly of the Order of Thrones. His Mark, Seal, or Character is this, unto which he oweth obedience, and which thou shalt wear in time of action. Pazuzu is one of God's throne bearers who appeared before Ezekiel in a vision. At the time, the prophet saw four living creatures whose appearance had the likeness of a man, and each of them had four wings. The event is described in Ezekiel ch. 1.

"And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads." — Revelation 22 *KJV*
His mystical number is 22.
