Open Sorcery
Open Sorcery is the world of Ashley Halliwell.
Hi! Welcome to my corner of the Internet. My name is Ashley. 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.

A golden gossamer
I appear to be in a very Songs: Ohia mood today, a band Eight turned me onto. This song feels like nearly transparent gossamer waves of gold at sunset to me: Happy listening. Somewhere in the afterlife, Jason Molina is raising a PBR in a shit dive bar. -Allēna

Will wonders never cease…
It would seem that I am developing an allergy to caffeine. It makes me itch and gives me a splitting headache in high enough concentrations. I wonder if that contributed to the seizure the other day. Whee. -Allēna
-
I think seizure brain is improving??
It’s slow going and I’m still experiencing symptoms, but they seem to improve the more I sleep, which makes total sense. -Allēna

This song could have been written about the migraine we’ve coped with daily off and on for years:

Working on my summer brain. It’s just like my normal brain, just with more bruises in it.
Two days and some change after the seizure and it feels like my brain has a bruise across the front of it. I don’t know if I smacked my head while seizing or what. I just know that I’m very eepy still and very out of it. Thinking is hard 😴😴😴 -Allēna #NEISvoid #seizure #eepy…

One full day post seizure and I feel like my brainhole is made of swirly raspberry ice cream….

I am the eepiest Lēna to ever survive.
(I had another BIG seizure of some kind last night)

I stand corrected in the best way.
WAIT NO MY BLOG POSTING STREAK IS STILL ALIVE, I’M UP TO 180 DAYS AHAHAHAHA -Allēna

RIP blog streak, but at least the site is back up.
Got my blog back up and running, but I might have lost my 170+ day posting streak according to the Jetpack app 😭😭 RIP streak… You were a real one… -Allēna

My favorite limerick of all time:
The poodle is getting quite hairy/in a few days she’ll be quite scary/she needs to be shaved/and better behave/or we’ll tie her to the hackberry. Written by my dad (1968-2016). -Allēna
