Tom Billinge is originally from England and lives in the USA. He grew up surrounded by Ancient Greek mythology, culture, archaeology and history, as his father was a historical geographer and his mother was Greek. After graduating with a degree in archaeology, Tom moved to Asia, where he explored temples and immersed himself in the martial and spiritual traditions of the East. Following several years travelling the world and writing for a living, Tom returned to the West and to his roots. This led to his first book, Undying Glory: The Solar Path of Greek Heroes. Tom then continued the Greek heroic mythology theme with an exploration of the Homeric material in Age of Heroes: Beyond the Solar Path. With a particular interest in Indo-European matters, Tom spends much of his time making connections between the spiritual and martial impulses of the various Indo-European cultures. His book WarYoga explores the Indic branch of the Indo-European physical alchemical practice, while the sequel, WarYoga Zurxāne deals with the Iranian tradition. These works are the culmination of years of academic, spiritual, and physical research. Tom has also translated several works beside the Iranian epic Garšaspname, including The Aryan Männerbund by Stig Wikander, and Pythagoras and Orpheus by Karl Kerenyi, both forthcoming from Sanctus Arya. In addition to authoring books, articles, and essays, he teaches Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu, and works as an editor in combat sports media. Tom is a Fellow of the Royal Asiatic Society.
