The Mirror of Galadriel - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I was skimming through UT last night and came across the chapter on the Palantíri. A thought struck me: the Mirror of Galadriel is much like the seeing stones. It can show the onlooker visions of past, present and future, but these visions are not to be controlled by the will of a person. Both appear as ordinary objects, yet they are more than they seem.

Where did the Mirror of Galadriel come from? What do you think drives its visions- the water, the wood, Galadriel herself? I'd really like to hear your opinion on the matter.
