I think it is clear by now I love arcane and symbolic ways of viewing life and those around me, including myself. Both astrology and the tarot lend significant meaning to the four elements of fire, water, air and earth when it comes to understanding the basic makeup of people, environments and situations. And, whether it is because I know what to look for (or just wish hard enough to see it) I can and I do observe the truth in this approach.
This partially explains why I wrote "The Four Queens" which gives a thumb nail sketch of each element embodied in the character of a queen. The rest of the explanation is I have a life-long fascination with the great archetypes which appear in the Arthurian Tales, i.e., King, Queen, Priestess, Knight, Wizard, etc. because they inspire me to feel my greatest feelings. As well, I believe in chivalrous behaviour (acting with bravery, courtesy and honour) and do not believe it is - or at least need be - gender specific and would that I do so in all areas of my life.
"Come drink a drop from my cup
Sighs the silky Queen of Water.
You'll hold my heart
And know my soul
Now and ever after.
We'll dim the lights
And count the stars.
We'll dream of sons and daughters.
And, it shall be as I say
For I am the Queen of Water."
- second verse of the "The Four Queens"
