Nice interpretation. Although, in the spiritual dimensions Viviane/Nimue is blonde, but in the earth dimensions (in the physical realm), she is a redhead. She walks on water, so this interpretation would be more accurate if the water were not rock filled, as this implies that she is standing on a rock. The truth about her relationship with Merlin is that he was initially her teacher, and later became his partner, although, she merely had to remember what she had originally known before incarnating. She didn't enchant him.  They were partners in the spirit dimensions before incarnating here, so there was no need to enchant.  She was a powerful healer, and Merlin needed her as much as she needed him.
