Cultivating a
Feather-light Heart
A 42-Day Journey with the Ideals of Ma’at
return to balance, truth, and inner sovereignty
Where does inner freedom really come from?
The great Egyptian Goddess Ma’at teaches us that by aligning with truth, harmony, and equanimity — in little ways, every day — we can unburden our hearts and find peace and goodness in our lives as they are.
Over 42 days, you’ll walk hand-in-hand with this ancient Egyptian goddess, exploring her timeless principles through daily affirmations, anointing rituals, and soul-deep reflection.

Why the 42 Ideals of Ma’at Matter
And why they’re needed now more than ever.
It is said that when we die, the Egyptian goddess Ma’at waits in the halls of the afterlife to weigh our heart against a feather. If the heart is heavy — burdened by grief, guilt, violence, or imbalance — the soul cannot pass into the next world.
But what if this was never about punishment?
In Egyptian mysticism, the gods and goddesses — known as the neteru — are not only divine beings, but cosmic principles woven into the fabric of creation.
Ma’at is the force of truth, balance, reciprocity, and sacred order. She is the structure that keeps the universe from falling into chaos.
Ma’at doesn’t punish us in the afterlife…she lives inside us, as a compass pointing us toward harmony.
This course is rooted in the knowing that:
☥ We can begin living with a feather-light heart now.
☥ We can move through this world with integrity, clarity, and peace.
☥ We can turn to Ma’at as not only a mythic figure, but a healing presence available to guide us in each moment.
By working with Ma’at’s 42 Ideals as daily rituals, you’re remembering how to live in alignment with your own sacred truth.
Bonus Gift
The Feather & the Scale — A Guided Visualization from Ma’at
During a sacred channeling experience, Ma’at shared a powerful meditation to help us lighten the heart spiritually and energetically. In this visualization, you become the golden scales of the afterlife, transmuting your heaviness into radiant clarity and peace.
You’ll receive this guided practice as an audio recording, with a printable PDF of the steps, as a bonus within the course.
This ritual can be done anytime you feel burdened, in need of balance, or simply wanting to rest in divine love. It’s a potent companion to the 42-day journey, and a timeless tool to revisit again and again.

Your Guide
Welcome! I’m Juniper Stokes, and I am devoted to supporting you on your journey of connecting to nature, spirit, and the cosmos.
I’ve been studying, practicing, and teaching spiritual rewilding and animism for over two decades.
Over the years, I’ve completed a 3-year shamanic practitioner training, two-year teacher training with Sandra Ingerman, and extensive study with Betsy Bergstrom. I also have formal training in Mayan, Norse, Celtic, Taoist, and Egyptian animist practices, as well as Western magic traditions.
In addition to teaching, I’ve been supporting clients with animist healing, spiritual counsel, and depth coaching since 2017.
Integrity and service are at the heart of my offerings…as is joy! This is serious work and we don’t shy from shadow, but we do laugh our way though.
I can’t wait to meet you!
Picture of me on the Nile back in 2009…been immersed in Egyptian mysticism for a loooong time ;)
Juniper is an amazing teacher and facilitator. She has a deep connection with all of life, but her knowledge of and connection with non-ordinary reality are obviously a fundamental part of her nature and of primary importance to her. She embodies everything she teaches, and just being in her presence is healing.
—Kathy Frank, all-species Reiki practitioner
Juniper is the BEST!! I can't say enough about Juniper's teaching style. She teaches in a perfectly paced and structured way that aligns all intro teaching elements together in perfect format for both beginners and those more experienced.
—Stacey, licensed psychotherapist
I learned so much - and I mean truly learned - that has already helped me in my own inner work, and will significantly empower the work I do to help others. You are a very gifted teacher and guide - truly a wisdom carrier who speaks to heart and mind.”

“Working with Juniper is such a pleasure! Juniper's gifts run deep and wide, spilling into every space of a session with her. Her way of holding me in complete compassion and tenderness while maintaining powerful connections to the seen and unseen is tremendously healing. The work we have done together has allowed me to deepen into my path and my medicine in this lifetime. I am so grateful for the gifts she has given me through her special alchemy in this realm and in others—they have been unexpectedly potent blessings on my way.”
—Katie P. wilderness & nurse
“Juniper is a gifted healer, teacher, and guide who skillfully weaves together an ethereal fabric of sight, wisdom, creativity, and compassion then wraps it around her clients with care and grace. I have found her shamanic guidance to be informative, transformative, and superlative. Her relationship to spirit is so well tended, and so apparent, that she literally walks through this world as an expression of the Goddess. Juniper's apothecary is extensive and her herbal remedies have soothed, healed, and protected me. Juniper represents all that is balanced and beautiful in this world and beyond and I recommend her completely.”
—Heather Porter, host of the Animisma Podcast
“We found the way you normalized the darker aspects of this work refreshing. It’s time to bring that shadow to the light!”
—Sherry G., author
“I am delighted Juniper Stokes has brought her work out into the world. Juniper has a real gift for all she passionately offers. Anyone taking a workshop, seeing Juniper as a client, or buying some of her sacred herbal products will be introduced to fresh ideas, a compassionate and brilliant practitioner and teacher, and a path back to balance and healing. Juniper’s work is exceptional!”
