I am hoping someone can shed some light on this for me.

In Wicca, they have the four elements combined with the four directions. You have North and Earth, West and Water, South and Fire, and East and Air. The four directions makes perfect sense, but the four elements doesn't.
The way it would make more sense to me is if Fire was opposite Air, and Water opposite Earth.

In our world, the fire is at the bottom and the air is on top, the water and earth are both in the middle and are opposite to each other.

Does anybody know a Wiccan tradition that had it this way?

Thanks

Heyhey

I am no way Wiccan at all. I'm a lot closer to this twisted deriviative of energy work that fall best into obscure taoism.

Direction is pretty subjective; and frankly the elementals I've worked with don't actually give a damn about our rituals. But if its evocation, use what you see fit.
