I was curious about that too and asked him in operson (he's filling out
some form on the floor right now) and he said:

"Chance; cubic earth; two face-up indicating acceptance of duality and
therefore multiplicity, one face-away from the candle as opposite or
antagonistoc to unity."

To which i add, the "cubic earth" throne is a symbol that goes back to
ancient Sumer and can be found images from ancient Irish, Hebrew, and
other sources, as well as in Eliphas Levi's late 19th century image of
"Baphomet."
