I wonder about this 'connection' - symbolically Water relates to the emotions, Fire to the spirit & Air to the intellect. These elements seem to relate perfectly to Galadriel, Gandalf & Elrond, especially as the first element is traditionally 'female' & the second two 'male'. Its as though the bearers of the Rings are, on some level, 'manifestations' of those elements. They are almost the element 'made flesh'.
Question is, were they always like that - ie did they each recieve the Ring which was of the element closest to their nature, or did their natures change in some way because of the 'power' of the particular Ring they bore?
