Other than those found in Occult Adventures are there any other sources of Occult Rituals? I would prefer print books but I may be open to some PDFs as well.

There are a pile of them in various Kobold Press products, particularly Deep Magic, although you can also find quite a few in Zombie Sky Press' Incantations in Theory and Practice. (I can't link these right now, but you can find them easy enough)
Both of those books are going to have slightly different formats for incantations, but they're close enough, and they'll have different base DCs for different schools of magic (which I personally prefer).
You can also find a pile of them in the 3.5 srd, as they're originally from that edition's Unearthed Arcana.
-Ben.
if you're looking for something in particular, I can probably focus you in on a specific product. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say I've written more incantations than just about anyone else in Pathfinder. (it may not be correct in another year, but for now, I'm pretty sure)
-Ben.
There are some in Distant Shores, Occult Origins, and Horror Adventures for sure.
Necromancers of the Northwest came out with "Rituals of Blood" a few days ago; it's got some interesting blood-themed rituals in it.
Yup, Necromancer's of the Northwest have a few others too, and Paranormal Adventures under the Everyman Gaming label added a bunch (probably my favs of any)! In addition to what others have mentioned, the Spheres of Power core book and its expansions have been adding incantations for use under its magic system that could easily be repurposed as occult rituals. Hope that helps!

Wow! I actually have Deep Magic but I had completely skipped over that chapter because it contained Words of Power and that just didn't interest me at all.
I am aware of Incantations in Theory and Practice but didn't realize it was compatible with Occult Rituals.

At first glance they look completely compatible as is. It seems to me that the incantations are a bit less forgiving on the number of missed saves but at the same time they seem to be more powerful.
I'm not sure I ever even looked at Unearthed Arcana back in the day. I'm sure I don't have it but I believe I have friends I can borrow it from.

Just about everything about them interests me. It was by far my favorite part of Occult Adventures and I had no idea anything like it had been done before in Pathfinder.
The first thing that came to mind when reading the Occult Rituals was the seeds of an adventure I had in my head regarding a haunted house. In addition to the possibility of undead creatures and haunts I thought it might be interesting to rid the house of its evil through some sort of ritual.
But, since then, I'm open to any Rituals/Incantations.

Thanks. I will pick these up. I would have gotten to Horror Adventures eventually anyway. I just hadn't quite bought it yet because I figured it would just end up in the to-read pile for awhile.
But, the others weren't even on my radar.

Hmmm. Usually I only buy printed books or print on demand products. I have too many PDFs that have gone completely unread. But, I may have to reconsider that position. This looks interesting. Thanks.

I will look into these as well. There appears to be way more material than I expected to find. Thank you.

Just did a PDF search for "occult ritual." There's a surprising number of books that have a single reference, usually a fluff reference that something was or could be accomplished by an occult ritual. There are also some traits or feats that give skill bonuses to accomplish rituals.
In addition to the above that include actual published rituals I also found one in the Moloch article of Hell's Vengeance 3.
I read the Incantations in Deep Magic and then I picked up 5 PDFs from Necromancers of the Northwest:
Weekly Wonders: Infernal Rituals
Weekly Wonders: Rituals of Blood
Weekly Wonders: Rituals of the Dead
Weekly Wonders: Rituals of the Deep Ones
Weekly Wonders: Rituals of the Void
That should get me started. Still way more material out there than my weak google-fu lead me to believe.
Incantations from the Other Side is fantastic-- there are voodoo ones, some cthulhu-esque ones, and some slavic-esque ones in here. These are definitely worth a look.
-Ben.

Zombie Sky Press is already planned to be the subject of my next round of purchases. I've already been eyeing Here Be Monsters: Aching for Blood (Mosquitofolk) for some time now.
