Interesting thought on the Elements

[Faery-Wings]

In the New Pagans forum, there is a thread about choosing your element, which is what got me thinking about this. I am very drawn to water and have always felt a kinship with it. I am most relaxed near, on, or in water. The sound of water is so soothing to me, the colors of (clean, not NJ) oceans resonate with me. I am a Cancer, so all of this makes sense.

The thing that I realized today is that my two biggests fears are with drowning! I am extremely phobic about ice skating- that the ice will crack and I will get sucked under, a la The Omen. And a lesser phobia is that my car will fall into water and I'll drown. There are certain bridges that if they are close to the water I cringe driving over. Both of these phobias started in my childhood.

I was wondering if anyone else had simialr relationships with the Elements in this way. I would love to hear your thoughts!

I am closest to water, I adore being in the water etc etc, but I can't bear the thought of being under a great deal of water. You won't find me going through the Channel Tunnel!

Also, as I've come further along my path, I'm drawn more to Fire too (all those candles I've lit!) but as a child I used to be terrified of the house burning down and just the 'crackle' sound a flame makes would make me hysterical.
