Devil's Dung: Asafoetida Resin

Known to the ancients as Devil’s Dung, this infernal resin carries the stench of both protection and purification. In the old witch traditions, its sulfurous scent was feared by spirits and men alike — burned upon coal to drive away malefic forces, curses, and corruption. It is a resin of banishment through revulsion, its odor so strong that darkness itself recoils.

Yet in the East, beneath another sun, it is revered as Hing, a sacred essence within the fires of Ayurveda and Tantra. There, it awakens Agni, the divine flame of digestion and transformation — not merely of the body, but of energy itself. Used in rites invoking Kali or Bhairava, its smoke clears the air of impurity, declaring fearlessness before shadow and decay.

AumKa Dua honors this dual heritage — the Witch’s and the Yogi’s — revealing the hidden truth that purification is not always sweet. Sometimes the holy emerges through the foul; the sacred through the grotesque. Devil’s Dung is not an adornment — it is a weapon of spirit, a guardian through disgust, a reminder that true power embraces the repulsive and transmutes it into gold.
