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.

Opensource Fuckup Fix of the Year so far:
I could not for the LIFE of me find out why TF OpenVibe wasn’t posting to the frontend of my blog anymore for MONTHS until I got this message from the plugin when I signed back in. Ffs, Lēna…. #openvibe

I knew AI was gonna be some freaky shit back in 2019 when I fed a very early version of ChatGPT (back when you usually had to load it into Python and shit) bits of my work and it spat out the best line I NEVER wrote.

On people crawling out of the woodwork…
Eight’s ex, Juneau, resurfaced a few days ago. They broke up a whole bunch of times, most recently in early 2023 after a series of events beginning with what we now call Kiragate and ending with his polycule splitting in half over him dumping his ex, Leigh, and refusing to pick a side in the…

I painted more today!
This piece is called Dreamweaver: Sylphium. I’ve been posting Reels and TikToks three times daily to try and grow my accounts, and I challenged myself to make my three daily videos about it. Much to my surprise, I was able to do that. I’m usually much more camera shy and I find it very difficult…

We went back to the Domes today for the bonsai show and it was lovely!
I did NOT know that people could grow bonsai from seeds or young trees, I thought they had to be purchased fully grown. I know almost nothing about them. I learned a fair bit today and I would love to join our local bonsai club. It might be a problem, given that my body responds…

Emerson and I saw model trains at the Mitchell Park Domes yesterday!!
We’re gonna come back later today for the bonsai show. I love bonsai and have wanted one since I was a teenager. I don’t think I will be able to buy one, but at least I will be able to see some! -Allēna

I had a fun day with Emerson today.
He convinced me to leave the house and we ran errands while playing this weirdly Christian questions game designed for kids. It started with a question like “if you could design the tastiest sandwich ever made, what would that sandwich be” and by the time we’d gone through all of the questions, Emerson had had…

Here are some pieces I’ve made in the past couple of days.
I’ve begun experimenting with bolder colors and less strict realism. I’m very happy with the way these pieces turned out. I’m calling this first piece The Lighthouse. I don’t exactly know what to make of it, I was running with an idea I had and I thought it looked cool. Here’s a video of how…
