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.

I have had “Little Dark Age” by MGMT stuck in my head for the past yes.
It’s inspiring me to write more over time. I’ll keep y’all posted as more things happen. -Allēna

Well, I caved and read the first Bridgerton book.
Frankly, I like it better than Season 1 of the show. Shonda Rhimes changed a lot, and while her choices and those of her fellow writers might make sense later on, I liked book Daphne and book Simon much better than their counterparts in the show. -Allēna

Emerson discovered the tastiest sushi place 💛
It’s called ZX Sushi and they had this all-you-can-eat sushi option that was 30% off for the time being. We both ate a metric fuckton of delicious food and I tried some dishes I’ve never had before, like ube and takoyaki. It was SO GOOD. Our server was lovely as well, and she called us…

The podcast had to reschedule 😭
However, Laz came out and kinda went ham this evening to make up for it. Emerson was speaking at a panel to educate kids about queerness and sexuality, and the fourth speaker couldn’t make it at the last second. So Charisma McGee stepped in in the other person’s stead and taught a bunch of kids…

I have a podcast interview in about twelve hours.
I am both excited and nervous. I found this podcast on Threads and we’ve been corresponding back and forth, and I just hope I’m able to get some sleep tonight because last night was fucking ass in terms of that. I only got three hours 😭. I don’t know what I’m going to do if…

I experienced my first Wisconsin fish fry yesterday.
I thought it was tasty, but Emerson said that they should have used cornmeal in the breading lol. Fair enough, I suppose. -Allēna

Sooooo I made a bold move today.
I released the sanctuary take of “My Island” on my Bandcamp page just in time for Bandcamp Friday! Bandcamp Friday has already begun, so if you enjoy what you hear, I would deeply appreciate it if you bought your copy today 💛 -Allēna

Be The Fletcher To My Island
Sometimes having DID and headmates that are JUST as talented as you at both the same things – and different ones – is a fuckin’ gas, y’all. Back in 2014-ish I wrote a poem that turned into one of my better-known songs about a crush of mine. It was called “My Island”. I was obsessed…

I think I’m scared of vulnerability because I feel like a terrible person who isn’t worth the fight it is to get to know/care about me in practice.

To anyone who thinks that raising a kid with the “right Christian values and enough love” will make them turn out “fine”,
All of the love and Christian values in the world couldn’t have made me abled and normal. I survived a stroke at 9 months old that was a unique circumstance due to a series of cascading failures that began when a virus attacked my heart on Super Bowl Sunday in 1998, and my parents were…
