About This Item
Laurel, MT: Araxes Press, 2023. First Edition. Hardcover. Large octavo. 352pp. Limited to 500 hand-numbered copies, this being No. 223. Maroon cloth with gilt design of Kali to front cover, spine titled in gilt. Illustrated with color photographs throughout. Very slight lean to spine, otherwise a near fine copy. This work takes the reader on a wild journey, exploring the amazing regional variations of Thai folk magic. What comes to light is not a dusty, monolithic tradition, but a fluid, adaptable system of spirit work that changes with the changing times. The author lets the Thai ajarns tell their own stories in their own words, and what they reveal about the role of initiations, astrology, karma, corpses, and ghost-magic must be seen to be believed. Remarkably, Jenx also gives a detailed guide on how Westerners can participate in this powerful occult system by caring for and communicating with the spirits contained in amulets created by Thai sorcerers. The book also contains a first-ever description of the sacred properties of certain herbs, metals, and alloys, including the occult role of Mercury and the mysterious Leklai.
