We took a road trip to Taos to meet our dear friend April at the Crossroads, where we sipped multiple beverages and had ourselves a chat. April's talents are many. To be succinct, she's a certified herbalist, psychedelic integration coach, and lead instructor for the Botanical Mystery School.

Our conversation dives into addiction once again, which seems to be a theme that's emerging throughout our interviews. First, we discuss what's considered a relatively benign addiction but an addiction nonetheless—coffee. April shares quite a few helpful tips on how to bring awareness, balance, and ritual when we find ourselves fiending for our next caffeine fix. The next substance we dive into is alcohol.

Having quite a few Sag placements, April knew how to party with the best of them, and she found herself continually imbibing copious amounts of alcohol. She shares her story of transformation and how the plants helped her find herself again. She's still the life of the party, honestly—now concocting herbal elixirs instead of cocktails.

Have a listen to hear how April has transformed her story and now helps others do the same.

Guided by the torch of Hecate, we met Reverend Elektra Moon at the crossroads. If we had to sum her up in one word, it would be healer. Though she would never claim that title herself, we’ve witnessed her healing hands soothe tired bodies, her gentle patience with children, and her wisdom as her cat birthed kittens quietly during our interview.

Reverend Elektra Moon is a Dragon Reiki Master Teacher, High Coven Priestess of Hecate, Reverend of the Southern Star Church of Love, Massage Therapist, and Fitness Maven. Before her dark night of the soul, she was a nurse, following a family tradition of healing.

Time to slow it down. There’s no need to rush. Pack your bag slowly, pack everything you need ~ comfort is key. Bring your nice pillow, plenty of snacks, comfy socks are a must. We’re headed to the woods to commune with good ol’ momma earth. Invite only your closest friends; the ones that will have your loyalty until the bitter end. Frolic in the sunshine and take off your clothes. Take the time to oil your body. Invoke all five senses.

We sip Calendula sun tea and talk Venus retrograde and all things Leo including Carl Jung. Leo is the fifth sign in the Zodiac, and it represents our ego identity, which is formed through our actions, Aries sensations, Taurus thoughts, Gemini, and feelings cancer. Through the previous signs of the Zodiac, we were gathering information and building on the four elements. Now with Leo, we begin to take what we have gathered, develop our ego and express.
