Rhiza

The Root Guardian

The Great Guardian Rhiza

Rhiza carries ROOT energy, embodiment and balance. She holds a stone in her left hand, symbolising a strong foundation, with a spiral on it representing the sacred flow. In her right hand, she holds a feather symbolising lightness and freedom, reminding us that these two are not opposites fighting each other. The feather quality and the stone quality are forces meant to work together and balance one another. One completes the other.


A message from Rhiza:

“Deep down the roots dig, sustaining everything above. Deep down, they communicate. They give and receive nutrients and wisdom, secret to the ears and eyes of humans who have forgotten the unseen dimensions.

I come to remind you of them. I come to support you in bringing them into your daily life, to bring them closer, for they are closer than you could imagine.

Gea, when she was finding my face and embroidering it, thought I was some sort of goddess. If by goddess you imagine something in the clouds looking down at you from above, no, I am not that. But if you know in your heart that goddess is all that is, including you and me, then yes, dear Gea, you were right.

I will be just a doll if you are too scared to come closer to me. But if you dare, if you truly dare, you will feel in your bones my silent chanting, evoking your roots to awaken and bring you HERE.!

To healthily open to other dimensions, your heart must stop rejecting this one.

Roots deep down, strong and vital, equal flourishing branches, full of flowers and fruits.

Be well, dear friend.”


She is one of the Great Guardians: bigger Mystical dolls (she is about 45 cm tall!) full of symbolism, born with the intention of bringing the energy they carry into the room where they are placed.


In my house, she sits in the meditation room close to my meditation pillow! She really invites me to ground and to tend to my roots. Thank you so much, Rhiza!

Rhiza has a porcupine thorn in her hair, which I found while hiking in a forest in Sicily some years ago. She has many little nature treasures in her hair, for she enjoys the forest very much.

October 2026 Update:

Rhiza is almost one earthly year old now!

As usual, my Mystical Dolls stay with me for as long as I need to deepen their messages within myself. Lately, grounding and the root chakra have been a big part of my own inner journey, and she has been there, meditating with me almost every day.

After all we’ve been through, it felt like the right time to give her a little spa day!

I took her to the hairdresser, which was me, upgraded her hands, gave her a new feather I found on my trip to Norway this summer (I guess it’s a seagull feather), and also gave her the amethyst one of my workshop participants gifted me.

New energy is flowing through her, just as it’s beginning to flow through me.

The amethyst is a very important symbol here. Let’s unpack it a little, shall we?

Amethyst is a stone connected with wisdom, intuition, and the upper chakras.

Placing it in Rhiza’s hands carries a deep meaning: the higher energy meets the lower energy, inviting us to see our energy system as an integrated whole.

After all, her message is about the importance of tending to our roots, about balance, and about grounding.

Quoting The Lord of the Rings: “Deep roots are not reached by the frost.”

Rhiza could not agree more!
