The symbol

Wrathful protectors in Tibetan art carry flaming weapons: swords, hooks and lassos wreathed in fire. The weapon is aimed at obstacles and ignorance, not at people, which is the spirit of this sign: decisive, but precise.

The two throws

The Great Fiery Weapon comes up when the first throw of the die shows TSA (wind) and the second shows RA (fire).

ཙ
First: TSA · Wind

TSA is the syllable of wind. It carries movement, breath, messages and travel. It spreads news and fans flames, and it can scatter what is not tied down.

ར
Second: RA · Fire

RA is the syllable of fire. It brings energy, warmth, light and the power to make things happen, and with them the risks of fire: haste, anger and burning out.
