Divination 8 of 36 · RA RA Good
Butter poured onto a fire that is already burning
Butter on a fire: whatever is already burning grows fast. Efforts gain momentum and success multiplies, but so do anger and excess. Feed what you want to grow, and only that.
Feed only the fire you want.
Light lamps, and calm your anger before you act.
Butter fuels the lamps and the fire offerings of Tibetan ritual. Poured onto a fire that is already burning, it makes the flames leap up at once. The image is about increase: what is already under way grows stronger and faster.
Adding Butter to the Burning Flames comes up when the first throw of the die shows RA (fire) and the second shows 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.
