  • The Thai Occult with Peter Jenx - full episode
    Nov 11 2024
    Welcome to Occult of Personality podcast, now, in episode number 228, The Thai Occult! This is the full episode.

    Peter Jenx, author of the wonderful and must-read The Thai Occult series of books is our guide to the magic of Thailand in an extraordinarily lit interview. To say that Peter deserves credit for sharing the amazing magic of Thailand with us in the West would be a massive understatement as his books and interviews allow a glimpse into a magical realm that we are blessed to have access to. https://www.thethaioccult.com/

    I find Peter Jenx’s The Thai Occult series of books (3 so far) are some of the most interesting, most useful, and most extraordinary magical books that I have ever read. The reasons include the fact that it’s lore and knowledge from a vital living magical tradition, that magical tradition is rooted in Buddhist religion and its practitioners are accomplished meditators, and their magic can be practical or spiritual, and sometimes both simultaneously. I find the conceptual framework within which Thai magic is accomplished to be quite interesting and worthy of deeper investigation. Furthermore, this entire body of work is just more evidence to me of the efficacy of authentic spiritual practice with regard to invoking magic. I highly recommend all three The Thai Occult books by Peter Jenx. In my opinion, anyone who practices or is interested in magic would benefit from these books.
