Tom SwissTom Swiss describes his spiritual path as "Zen Pagan Taoist Atheist Discordian", which usually baffles questioners enough to leave him alone. He has been involved in the Neopagan movement since the early 1990s, has previously served as President of te Free Spirit Alliance, is the author of the books Why Buddha Touched the Earth and What Does It Mean For The Gods To Exist?, and blogs as "The Zen Pagan" for the Patheos Pagan Channel.
