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, Thai Occult 1 will be a stunning addition to any library, and the perfect shelf-companion to Thai Occult 2.
I've been very disappointed by all the occult books I bought in 2024. THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM. The title/info page reveals- besides the author- Jack Grayle, Shane Staley and Miskatonic Books. The usual suspects for greatness. (But I give Larry a hard time).
For me this book is TOO much.
I'm gonna convert to Islam or Mormonism.
While other occultists are making it up as they go, Jenx is revealing practices 1000's (?) of years old?
And the author is super nice. Check out his website.
This and the Hekaeteon are the greatest occult books in a decade+(or ever).

I genuinely can’t recommend this book enough. Gorgeous to look at and well made, not to mention impossible to put down. The photos alone are worth the price, and the information presented has made me want to visit Thailand.

What an amazing book! Not only is it gorgeous to look at, solid and impressive to hold, but Peter Jenx is just a world renoun expert on Buddhist Occult and Magic in Thailand.
If you are interested at all in the side of Buddhism that is completely whitewashed in The West, this book is a MUST HAVE!!

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.
