Due to the overwhelmingly enthusiastic response to Peter Jenx’s ‘Thai Occult 2,’ Araxes press is delighted to provide a companion volume for the book that started it all – Jenx’s indispensable classic, ‘Thai Occult 1.’ Originally published in 2018 as ‘The Thai Occult,’ this groundbreaking work sold out immediately six years ago and has been a much-sought-after rarity ever since. TTO1 provides over 600 pages of in-depth interviews with Thai Ajarns as they reveal long-held secrets regarding gods, ghosts, graveyard necromancy, sacred herbs, dangerous minerals, and magical tattoos. More importantly, Jenx’s books provides cultural context into the roots of an unbroken animist tradition of Buddhist folk sorcery that reveals the deep spiritual creativity of the people of Thailand. Containing over a hundred gorgeous, full-color photos of Jenx’s unparalleled access to the inner workings of the Ajarns, this volume will be a stunning addition to any library, and the perfect shelf-companion to ‘Thai Occult 2.’ As with its popular predecessor, it is expected to sell out soon!”
Through, beautifully bound and deeply thought provoking. This book introduced a whole other side of Buddhism to me that smacked of voodou in ways that surprised, and horrified me in the best ways possible. I consider this book a must for anyone who really wants an introduction to the mysticism, and occult practices of South East Asia.
I think the production of the standard edition quite beautiful and sturdy. The amount of photographs is astounding! Love it!
Wow! What an amazing book! The content is incredible. It feels to me like an ethnography, which I think is a great thing. Well written, great content, and the photographs!! The quality of the paper, printing, photos, and binding are all fantastic. The back and front cover art are super rad. Price point is really worth it as there is so much content! I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in magic, anthropology, Thai culture, awesome books, or all of the above. Cheers!
