Saturday May 14th we will be kicking off the grand opening of The Poison Thicket room on 3DX Chat. We will have an hour long listening party and general group discussion on the topic of sorcery and entheogens.
3DX Chat membership is required to join but the room is open to the public.
Ars Aphrodisia subscribers will have access to exclusive downloads and discounts before the event!
Good afternoon! I have been working really hard on my Patreon, and have created some really fun content that is both educational as well as entertaining. Regardless of which tier you subscribe to you will find a multi-media experience that takes you through my own research into the topics I am covering, playlists of music, reviews of external items and links to other relevant work. As well you will find all of MY artwork both in preview formats as well as printable PDFs, you will find essays, and PDFs of stories as they are finished, ritual instructions, recipes, and more! Some tiers even come with additional features like exclusive chats and video content.
I have a lot more I want to add to my offerings here, but in order to do so I need to expand my reach and I need your help to do it!
My first goal is to reach an audience of 100 patrons. This will allow me to support myself on a financial level that will allow me to dedicate my attention to Patreon full time.
When I reach my goal of 100 patrons I will send all patrons a specially printed and signed newsletter in the mail featuring several pieces of artwork, one essay, and one story from my upcoming book, 'The Poison Thicket'.
I'll also begin to put together a 'Folklore & Fayerie Tales' podcast featuring a mix of my stories and traditional folktales read by myself and special guests, as well as interviews with experts on folklore, poisons, and witchcraft, and of course there will be lots of enchanting music.

'Don't Tread On Me'
Representing women's sovereignty and bodily autonomy, the right to choose and take control of our fertility. A serpent threads its way through our fragile make-shift temples of bone, weaving together the elements that might create life or block its quickening from even forming. You'll see a ring of moon phases surrounding the womb, the calendar of fertility we ebb and flow to. The Veneficium Cross forms bars against the birth canal protecting it with the power of the abortifacient plant spirits that surround it: Black Cohosh, Evening Primrose, Mugwort, Cedar, Tansy. I chose the slight yellow background and the inclusion of the snake to pay tribute back to the original 'Don't Tread On Me' Gadsden flag from 1775. I put the lozenge sign on the snake, a similar marking to the original diamonds on that design, but in this piece I am paying reference to the connection between the coiling serpent and DNA as well as the yonic symbolism behind the lozenge itself. Similar symbolism lurks in the background in the form of a Mother Knot, reminding us that we are all products of a greater, more powerful, unseen Mother: Queen of the Dead, Queen of the Dark & Quiet, Queen of Poisons.
If you are a crafty sort of person, you can make yourself your very own Menstruation bracelet or necklace to track your periods manually without a period tracker. The article below explains the basics in detail how to use them and their patterns. There are other variations on this and I will link some alternatives as well as a more utilitarian one you can purchase in the links below.

Sigil for Reproductive Rights and use instructions by Lara Tempest Zakroff

I have been thinking to myself of the timely irony (or maybe it is not) I have been guided to write about Tam Lin now. It's Beltane, directly opposite the seasonal wheel from Samhain when the story is set. There is a well known connection between Beltane and Samhain and the themes of birth and death, sowing and reaping. Also relevant to the times is the issue of agency and bodily autonomy that the story's heroine faces with her pregnancy and decision or not to terminate it on her terms.
This Vox article from 2016 explores the feminist and pro-choice themes embedded in the tale and why we can look to the ballad's heroine Janet for wisdom from our ancients on the ability to choose motherhood in our own terms.
"Tam Lin" is about a woman who lets no one tell her what to do.

Herbalists can quickly shift from healer to warrior to protect their communities and their knowledge. The world is going to need us more than ever. No matter what happens there will always be an herbalist willing to help.
Simple, safe remedies for pregnancy, childbirth, lactation, and newborns.
Now in its 24th printing. A confirmed favorite with pregnant women, midwives, childbirth educators, and new parents. Packed with clear, comforting, and superbly helpful information.
Beginning with the two months before pregnancy, herbs are enlisted to provide safe, effective birth control, or to help ensure pregnancy, even in the most difficult of situations. A special list of teratogens, including herbs to avoid before pregnancy, is included, as is a section on herbs to improve the father's fertility and reduce the risk of birth defects.
Once pregnancy has occurred, herbs are safe and beneficial allies in reducing the distress of pregnancy, including hemorrhoids, high blood pressure, morning sickness, emotional changes, anemia, muscle cramps, bladder infections, and preclampsia. Tasty recipes and clear directions make use easy and fun.
Herbs take a starring role in labor and delivery -- whether initiating labor, increasing energy, diminishing pain, or staunching postpartum bleeding -- and in postpartum care of the mother's perineum, breasts, and emotions, and the infants umbilicus, skin, scalp, digestive system, and immune system.
Humorous, tender, and detailed, this classic text is supported by illustrations, references, resource lists, glossary, and index.
Includes herbs for fertility and birth control. Foreword by Jeannine Parvati Baker.
thank you for all that you do 💚💚💚
Wonderful post from Sara Mastros.
"Since time out of mind, Artemis, the Huntress, the U***d, the Great Midwife, the Witch Sister, has taught women how to own and defend our own bodies. That ownership is once again, perpetually, under threat, and Artemis, and her Sister Witches stand ready to defend it. No one can really call them self "witch" if they don't know the ancient magic that liberates women from unwanted pregnancy..."

Originally I wanted to host part of Ars Aphrodisia on Only Fans for the novelty of hosting my aphrodisiac and s*x related project on an adult content platform, but when that didn't pan out in a timely manner I felt inspired to utilize 3DX Chat instead as it integrates seamlessly with Patreon.
3DX Chat is an Adult Multi Player S*x Game and Chat Room which allows it's users to build their own custom interactive chat rooms and objects. It integrates with a number of virtual reality and distance play s*x toys and was, as the name implies, very much created for and is still widely used by the s*x/porn industry for multi-user virtual s*x play. However, the platform is also *very* popular with a number of very different sorts of users due to its ability to allow users to build their own custom immersive worlds, stream a personal internet radio feed, and integrate with Patreon attracting table top as well as PC gamers and professional DJ's alike for perfectly mundane s*x-free gatherings in their custom built chat rooms. So it isn't exactly the dark side of the internet.
I have created a special room for my patrons that I will open periodically for group discussions on topics related to aphrodisiacs, entheogens, and witchcraft, sorcery, and folklore as well as host monthly listening parties with moderated discussion, a custom playlist with live DJ, and occasional interviews on the above topics with outside guests.
The rooms are public, and if you are already a user, you can totally join us there to chat, but only patrons have access to the following perks:
-Easy instructions for how to access two special VIP areas
- My referral code, which if you use will get you 10,000 XGold bonus and 10% discount on membership at FIRST sign up.
-Downloadable objects and avatars available to patrons only.
-A special VIP badge to display in your 3DX Chat Profile Gallery
-Ability to request songs without boosting the room.
Check out the video below I made showcasing features of the room, as well as perks of the Ars Aphrodisia program and what we are offering there.
Shooting to have the room open May 15!

I hope you guys enjoy a little teasing because I have a sneak peak today for you of some of the artwork that will be available for viewing at launch. I'm so excited about this project and can't wait to show you the full images.
You can catch a glimpse of two of them in the feed on this page so make sure to check that out and follow me so you can get in on the action once it starts.
Rosa damascena, more commonly known as the Damask rose, is a small shrub with thorny stems. Originally from the Syrian capital Damascus, it is highly sought after for its many therapeutic properties. Before the sun crests the horizon in Bulgaria, workers can be found in fields harvesting the delicate bloom of the Rosa damascena.
The labor-intensive production process has a very low yield; it takes more than 10,000 freshly picked rose blossoms to produce only one 5mL bottle of Rose essential oil. Because the petals are so delicate, the distillation process must
happen the same day that the flower is harvested. From this labor comes an essential oil known for its sweet floral aroma, beautiful and romantic. Diffuse Rose essential oil to uplift your spirits; the blooming floral fragrance brings about feelings of love, care, and comfort. Apply topically in daily skin care routines. Rose essential oil helps balance moisture levels in skin, reduce the appearance of skin imperfections, and promote a healthy-looking and even skin tone.
The Poison Thicket is proud to offer both 5ml Rose Essential oil and 10ml Rose touch from dōTERRA Essential Oils through our website linked in comments below.
Most of the time we think about spirits in movies or TV we think of lonely souls wandering around haunted, abandoned places. The truth is that most encounters with spirits occur most commonly in dreams.
It's good to be in a practice of writing down the things you experience in your dreamtime. I usually advise keeping a journal and pen next to your bed, dedicated for this purpose and writing down everything you can remember as soon as you open your eyes. The more time we are awake, the further we become from the world of dreams and the more likely it is we may lose or forget something. Don't worry about making sense of what you remember. So e things may seem out of order or out of place or hard to figure out when they occured. That's alright and to be expected, just do the best you can and try to jot down as much as you can remember.
Over time you might begin to see patterns emerge. Your connection to your wandering soul (the part of you that is conscious when you are asleep and dreaming) will grow stronger, and you may begin to notice differences in the way you experience different kinds of dreams. You may also begin to remember your dreams in more strength and clarity.
There are a number of practices that can be engaged by the witch to make full use of the state of sleep: from divination, to soul flight, to dream incubation, hypnagogic trance, and more - the sleeping mind is a potent vessel for the sorcerous practitioner to engage their work.
Experiences in the dreaming world can be just as intense, vivid, and real as experiences in the waking world, and that includes a full range of s*xual experiences and partners from spirits, devil's, Hobbs, and fairy men - not to mention other witches. The folklore on the subject of s*xual congress between the witch and the devil or some other otherworldly figure is literally endless.
What would it be like to fall into a dream and be carried away for a tryst by a phantom lover? Witchcraft can be as intimate and passionate as a s*xual experience and, really so can dreams. The crossroads of the three is a heady place which can absolutely be sought out intentionally with a trusted partner in co-ordination.
Something I'll be doing occasionally with this page is recommending great products by artists and artisans who should be on your radar, as well as sharing content like blogs and articles from other creators.
One person you should all be following if you aren't already is master poisoner Coby Michael, author of The Poison Path Herbal and owner of Poisoner's Apothecary . Here are some of the 'intoxicating' aphrodisiac offerings he has in stock.
My favorite is the Pocula Amatoria Aphrodisiac Ointment and you can find the link to that and the rest of his gorgeous 'Ars Aphrodisia' collection in the comments below.

Welcome to Ars Aphrodisia: a artistic exploration of the sensual side of the occult by Scarlet Loring - creatrix of The Poison Thicket . Here we will delve into darkly delicious fantasies, sensual artwork expressing intimate aspects of the witch's craft, and altered states brought on by entheogenic and aphrodisiac herbs - as well as the heady mild altering effects of desire.
Coming soon to Only Fans.
In Greek mythology, Persephone is the goddess associated with flowers and the coming of Springtime. Likewise she is also acknowledged as wife of Hades and Queen of the Underworld. Persephone is also a spirit with a connection to both poisons and aphrodisiacs through her connection to the Cthonic realm and dominion over floral life.
Within his shadowy kingdom in the underworld, Hades gifted to Persephone a glorious garden of night blooming and poisonous flowers such as Datura, Belladonna, Mandrake, Henbane, Brugmansia, Hellebore, Foxglove, Monkshood and many others. Many of these plants are famous for their inclusion in the famous witch's flying ointments or oils of legend - but a number of them are also famous for their use as agents of love and eroticism in love philtres, potions, and powders.
Here we see Persephone feasting on the ripe sweet fruit of a pomegranate and surrounded by flowers famous in the ancient world for their association with bringing on mind altering states for divinatory purpose or the art of seduction: Narcissus, and the deeply primordial Protea.
