Tobias Moore

A Different Road: from Bum to Mystic Tobias Moore

This book faithfully records one man's adventures from the prisons of California to the American streets; from the mythical realms of magic to the path of parenthood. This journey led Tobias Moore to the Rainbow Family, to Grateful Dead and Phish shows, raves, the underground punk movement, and to the heights of heaven and depths of hell. On the way Tobias had to die, fight off an evil sorcerer, and hike into the mountains for a vision. This is a modern hero's journey. It is not filled with Gods - but demons and disappointment; it does not have magical potions - just drugs, pain, and ecstatic suffering. This is not a story to be found in the stars; this is a story found in the gutters and trash heaps of American culture. This is a story about those who are walked on, spit on, and blamed for everything wrong with society. This is a story of one man's journey to self-discovery and to peace.
