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 deluxe edition. 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 deluxe edition will be a stunning addition to any library, and the perfect shelf-companion to Thai Occult 2.

From the author:

The Thai Occult 1 Deluxe edition magic.

The one on the third eye helps open the third eye for people opening the book. It helps your Samathi and an increased understanding of feelings within the body and mind. It helps us understand and have feelings for the quality of energies and the spirits we work with, which can be boosted to the point of easy communication. It raises the 6th sense towards accidents and problems coming your way, as well as the good things approaching.

The kata
Lau Ga Wi Tuu – and keep repeating till full of the kata

The eyes are related to a Hoon Payon for protection (There is Prai on the back), and they also help balance the elements within.

After holding the book to read it there should be a rise in the quality of Samathi of the reader, and a connection to magic itself.
