Open Sorcery
Open Sorcery is the world of Lazarus Halliwell.
Hi! Welcome to my corner of the Internet. My name is Lazarus. I created this site to give myself a bit more freedom from the constraints of social media, where I often feel pressured to be just one thing and to say things a certain way. I’m not just one thing, and my means of self expression are all over the place. I’m an intuitive artist, magic user, playwright, singer/songwriter, actor, avid student of all kinds, reader of oracle cards and the Tarot, producer and audio engineer, novelist, and poet, to name a few of my interests. I’m also disabled and largely housebound, and am a DID system of 1500+ alters. Stay tuned for content of all kinds.
Please note that, with rare exceptions, any and all names mentioned in this blog are pseudonyms except our own. We want to be able to speak freely without doxxing anyone.

Emerson and I managed to pay a visit to our favorite witchy shop today.
It’s called Tres Ojos and it’s lovely. Other than that I’m still exhausted and I wish I weren’t.. -Allēna

Moderate to severe fatigue and weakness persists,
BUT Emerson and I went to a cat rescue yesterday and saw SO MANY good babies. He wanted to adopt a petite void named Zack but couldn’t afford the adoption fee. Zelda is AWOL, I’ve only seen them for a few hours since New Year’s Eve when they came home last night to crash after…

I was so tired and weak yesterday that I didn’t do much at all.
But Emerson did make these fantastic open faced steak melts and I worked a bit more on developing my set list for Linneman’s on January 5th. We also watched Priscilla, the Priscilla Presley biopic. It was fucking cool. -Allēna

A more radio friendly version of my piece “Peak Milwaukee Queer Culture” played on Riverwest Radio today!
You can listen to the episode here. -Allēna

We were so drained today that neither Emerson nor I made it to Freight 38.
But I did get some good rest and now I’m kinda dissolving into a bath. I think I’ll crash soon. -Tristan, hi! It’s been awhile.

I swear to God the state of Wisconsin is bound and determined to make it as hard as possible for divorcées to get remarried.
Emerson and I have been on not one, but two wild goose chases to the courthouse to try and apply for our damn marriage license. I keep seeing reasons for the six month waiting period like “it’s to keep families together” and “to make sure divorcées are making the right decision and not jumping into…

I didn’t do much at all today.
It was much needed. -Allēna

Eleven years ago, I created a meme.
I am proud to present Attractive Tesla. -Allēna

My friend has cooked up another fundraiser bundle for me, and several amazing creators have added zines and other creations.
It’s 83% funded already, but any shares, donations, and engagement mean the world to me, as my husband and I are being evicted come Jan 31 for speaking out against our abusive ex. It’s here: https://itch.io/b/3454/fundraiser-for-lazarus-halliwell-act-2 -Allēna

Yesterday was a pretty good day, all things considered.
I braved my camera shyness and told the backstory for my poem “to dance with a cyclone”, which I’ll post below: Then Emerson and I filled out our marriage license application and made the appointment to submit it. I’m so excited. One of our best friends also offered to get us a stay at a…
