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.

Now I need this information.

Šulak, who lurks in the bathroom.

An incantation bowl. The demon will follow the text spiraling inward until it reaches the center of the bowl, where there is no way to read itself back out and it will remain trapped. I love these objects. I wrote a poem around one once.

(I have never written about the demon of the bathroom.)
