The Sphere of Protection comes with directional associations for the four cardinal directions and elements.
The Buddhas of the four cardinal directions have traditional associations that differ from the Western esoteric associations of the elements and directions, e.g. Amitabha the Buddha of the West is red and associated with fire; Ratnasambhava the Buddha of the South is associated with earth; etc.
If I want to the SoP with the Buddhas, how could I reconcile this?
