Onmyoji's Easter Eggs (jk)
They do make your world a better place.
What are darumas?
Darumas (or eggs) are materials you use to upgrade your shiki. There's four of them you need to know about.
Red and blue darus are for EXP. They can be fed to your shikigami to level them up. (If you've hit level 40, there's two new features to level and grade up units faster: Gorging Ghoul and Quick Promotion. I'm going to explain it in here.)
White darus are for grading purposes (as their name hinted out). They're much easier to level than everything else in the game, so it's easy to grade them up. However, please don't G6 them or you'll risk becoming a "legend".
Black darus (BD) are how people level up SSR and SP's skills without pulling multiple copies of that unit. Not recommended to use them on any SRs, just because they're very, very, very rare. Unless desperation arise or you really want to level up that shrine SR, you just don't use on them. Quite literally, you'll be able to summon more SSR/SP than having enough of these to skill them up. (The current shrine-limited SRs have very niche uses, too.)

Is there a proper way to use them?
You can just feed the red daru directly to the unit/mats you want to level.
Recommended to get blue daru to level 13 for maximum exp per level.
Usually we use white darus to get a unit to G5/G6. You can just use N fodders to get a unit to G3/G4.
I just explained how to use BD above.
For EXP required to level a shiki from 1 to 40, you can check out Gorging Ghoul or refer to this picture right here (Credits to TheOokamiKit in the Onmyoji Official Discord),

Where can I get more of these?
Technically, just play more.
Red and white daru has chance of dropping from doing anything in the game. Alternatively, do Nen to get more shards of red, blue, and white darus.
Donating grade II and III Evo mats can give you some daru shards too (mostly red, blue, and white daru; if you're lucky, some bd).
The Shrine has graded white darus and black daru every two weeks or so.
Assembly bosses and Netherworld will give you bd shards so don't miss them out.
Events usually give a ton of these, especially if you open event boxes.
