Traditionally, magically-oriented astrology has been either Sun-sign-horoscope shallow, or geared toward elaborate and formal practices of ceremonial magic. Circle of Stars and Stones is a detailed reference for both practitioners of magic and professional astrologers, of remedies, spells, rituals and magical prescriptions. These are common features of Vedic and Chinese astrology, and in tribal divination worldwide, but largely absent from Western astrology. This book uses the workings of Western folk-magic practice to explain them to a Western audience, in plain language. Circle of Stars and Stones gives information on building planetary altars, the magic of different planetary energies, and a full reference of Western-style remedies for dealing with difficult transits and making the most of positive ones.

Relating polyamory to astrology and the elements (air, fire, water, earth, and spirit), the author addresses all aspects of the polyamorous life, including family life, sexual ethics, emotional issues, proper etiquette, relationship boundaries, and the pros of cons of this lifestyle. Kaldera also discusses polyamory as a path of spiritual transformation and shares spells, rituals, and ceremonies for affirming one's relationships and spirituality. Buy Pagan Polyamory at Amazon

EarthBound, by Raven Kaldera
"EarthBound: Pagan Homesteading" is a guide to rural living, small farming, and self-sufficiency as an earth-centered spiritual discipline. While it has hundreds of tips on simple, practical skills, its greatest gift lies in the words of its contributors - Pagan and Heathen homesteaders across the continent. This book is not only about what we do, it's about how and why we do it, and what that means to our souls. Whether you homestead yourself, or you'd like to someday, or you simply want to drink in the virtual life around many different Pagan homesteads, this book will educate you in many ways. Five different photographers and one artist donated their work to this lavishly illustrated book, and many other folk sent their voices in interviews. One Pagan homesteader turned over ten years' worth of diary entries for contribution to its pages. Other Pagans contributed essays, tips, recipes, and philosophy. Laid out along the months of the Algonquin, Celtic solar, Celtic lunar, and medieval Saxon months, "EarthBound" takes you on an odyssey of the sacredness of the turning year.

Earthbound is available on CD, in Microsoft Word document and PDF formats. The cost per CD is $15, plus $3 shipping and handling (in the US), payable to Raven Kaldera, 12 Simonds Hill Road, Hubbardston, MA 10452 via personal check, money order, or PayPal. Buy EarthBound direct from Cauldron Farm

Welcoming Hera's Blessing: Handfasting and Wedding Rituals, by Raven Kaldera and Tannin Schwartzstein.
Cross-culturally, weddings are perhaps the most common rite of passage that adults in our society have in common. It is also the one event that crosses cultures regardless of age, gender, social status or income. Perhaps most interestingly, it is also an event that most people wish to commemorate with some kind of ritual regardless of whether they had a religious or secular upbringing - and whether they do it publicly or privately, brief and cursory or long and elaborate.

Handfasting and Wedding Rituals has everything you need to plan the perfect Pagan wedding. You'll find advice and examples to help you with basic wedding planning, writing vows, and ritual construction, along with practical tips and great ideas about everything from low-cost wedding favors to candle and bonfire safety. Handfasting and Wedding Rituals also includes sixteen full rites honoring a wide variety of Pagan traditions. Rituals in their full form can be used exactly as printed or modified to fit your needs. Each rite is categorized as level one, two, or three depending on their level of overt Pagan content and degree of participation expected from your guests. Handfasting and Wedding Rituals includes multiple interfaith rituals and handparting/divorce rituals, as well as rituals for same sex couples and weddings of more than two.

Urban Primitive, by Raven Kaldera and Tannin Schwartzstein.
"When people think of Wicca, say authors Raven Kaldera and Tannin Schwartzstein, they tend to conjure images of bucolic festivals, dryadic rituals and flower-wreathed maidens. In other words, the public mind associates paganism with the seasons and the countryside. But that's only a part of the picture. In The Urban Primitive: Paganism in the Concrete Jungle, Kaldera and Schwartzstein contend that modern neo-paganism is actually an urban-based movement, and they offer specific rituals and hints on living in the city. Here, readers will learn how to use magick to find an elusive parking space, understand the symbolic meaning of various body piercings and discover spells for unearthing treasures in a junkyard. There is even a chapter on the magickal properties of urban weeds such as bittersweet, dandelion, kudzu (who knew?) and ragweed." -- Publisher's Weekly Buy Urban Primitive at Amazon

Hermaphrodeities: The Transgender Spirituality Workbook by Raven Kaldera
Transgendered people have long been robbed of their own spiritual history. We have been told that we are wrong, evil, and immoral to follow our paths, all the while not knowing that there were once times and places where ours was considered a spiritual path in and of itself. This book, the only existing one thus far on transgender spirituality, explores both our spiritual history and our modern predicaments, shaping the outline of a contemporary spiritual path for those of us who don't fit into just one gender box.

Hermaphrodeities features third gender myths, deities, personal and group exercises, community service project suggestions, rituals, and interviews with people from all over both the TG and the religious spectrum. It is a sensitive and thorough exploration that will be fascinating not only for the transgendered reader, but any reader who wants to explore the intersection between their gender and their spiritual path. Teachers of gender studies and spiritual study groups will find the discussion questions for groups especially useful. We are all sacred and it is time that the world knew it.
