King Raven Kaldera
King Raven Kaldera was informed many years ago by his patron Goddess
that he was to be a King. His reaction at the time was incredulity, as
he was at that time well ensconced in nonhierarchical movements, and
he comes from a long genetic line of the rankest peasantry. However,
the Goddess was determined to have Her way, and she forced him onto a
quest to learn what it was to be a King in a sacred Pagan sense, not
simply the long-held Christian/material sense.
He discovered that telling people about his quest gave them a strange
urge to swear fealty, and before he knew it he had gathered a group of
like-minded pagans about him. The idea for the Kingdom was born in
1999, and he was crowned King by the grace of the Goddess, the will of
the People, and the hand of Lady Ruth Le Sanguinnaire, mother goddess
incarnate of Asphodel, on September 5, 1999, the day after the Royal
Wedding.
King Raven is accomplished in so many Arts that it would take ten
paragraphs to list them all. (If only he had the time to do them!)
He and Queen Bella hold down Cauldron
Farm, a pagan homestead, herb farm, and retreat center, and the
Institute for Heritage Skills. Writer, astrologer, craftsman, farmer,
priest, shaman, activist, artist, musician, parent, and organizer, he
is the driving force behind the Kingdom, and its spiritual center. He
and the Queen have sworn themselves to the Land, and the price is that
they are bound to it, and cannot leave its embrace for long. King
Raven continues to work on his Quest to be the best pagan king in the
world.
