Oh, wonderful topic if I may say!
Anyways, Galadriel has always reminded me of the meaning of the greek name 'Medusa', which means "sovereign female wisdom", in that Galadriel seemed to depend on herself for the best answer and was willing to help those who needed it. Also, because it seems that even though she is married to Celeborn, she keeps more will power in her control than other similar figures in Middle Earth.
In her more aggresive aspect, Galadriel seems like Macha, one of the three celtic goddesses called the Morrigana. There are many different tales about Macha, but in a summary she was a seer, warrioress, and queen. She also was known as the Tuatha De Danann's battle goddess, and on the other hand was known to bring good fortune and prosperity.
