When you first moved in I think you were about as "earth" as they come. But over time I feel like you've taken flight more than a little bit, and started carrying more light and magic.
I had to look up "ether" to answer this, to see what its associations are, and it was reading that it was also called "quintessence" that made me think it might be a good fit. I think I also like that in mechanics/science it was used to try to explain things that people didn't understand. I can see you as a force that people understand to somehow, mysteriously, be involved in transmitting energy, especially when they can't quite put their finger on how it all happens. :)
For myself, I think I have to be cognizant of the useful and constructive, as well as horrible and destructive applications of fire. sometimes Yay! and sometimes Ooops. I think I have to own both.
