This massive work 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, it 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.
