Todd LongClovencrow has spent over four decades systematically studying and practicing consciousness techniques, beginning at age 14 in Germany during the cultural upheaval of the 1980s. What started as a teenage fascination with magic evolved into a rigorousscientific pursuit following an existential crisis that led to atheism and a deeper questioning of reality's fundamental nature.Through extensive exploration of Left-Hand Path traditions, Hermetic Magic, Witchcraft, Chaos Magic, Voodoo, and Shamanism, Clovencrow developed a unique perspective on what actually works versus what merely provides psychological comfort. Around age 40, driven by contradictions between expert claims and observable reality, he began developing the archaeological methodology that forms the foundation of this book.Clovencrow's approach combines empirical data with open-minded skepticism, extracting genuine techniques from declassified government documents, cross-cultural sources, and systematic personal testing. His collaboration with advanced AI systems, particularly Claude, has enabled pattern recognition and data synthesis impossible through traditional research methods alone.The author of "Unlocking the Secrets of Sorcery," Clovencrow has personally employed every technique documented in "Adeptus Major." His decades of experience with psychological realignment and probability manipulation have convinced him of the genuine power inherent in consciousness-quantum field interactions-power that demands careful ethical consideration.What began as a teenager's desire for dramatic supernatural abilities has evolved into a mature understanding of consciousness technologies that can create positive change in the world. Clovencrow's work represents a bridge between ancient practices and modern scientific understanding, offering systematic methods for those serious about developing genuine capabilities rather than theatrical performance.
