In his 2022 book, ''[[Cult of the Stars]]'', [[occultist]] [[Travis McHenry]] speculates that Obizuth, as described in the ''Testament of Solomon'', may be one of the 36 [[Egyptian decans]]. Obizuth is said to be “a spirit in woman's form that had a head without any limbs, and her hair was disheveled.” The word "disheveled" was one commonly used by the Egyptians to describe the decanal deities, and their hair was said to be disheveled. The decan [[Akhuy]] is depicted as an armless female on the [[zodiac]] ceiling in the temple of Esna.
