My body is made of wood and stone

Today I learned that if you inform a small child of the existence of the Babylonian demon which lurks in bathrooms to get you if you don't wash your hands, you may also need to teach a small child about incantation bowls which can be made trivially at home in order to protect against such demons, but I feel everyone should know about incantation bowls regardless of a pressing need for them, so it all worked out in the end.

Did you have to actually make a bowl and put it face down on the bathroom threshold? I am now thinking of those bowls with live laugh love and ‘bowl’ in certain fonts on them and wondering if they can be used.

The conversation was over Zoom, but I did describe the technique and encourage them to practice it!

I love the idea of writing the necessary spiral of incantation leading down to the word "bowl." I feel that would really confuse a demon.
