About the author
Raven Kaldera is credited with several books on astrology and Pagan ritual published by Destiny Books and Llewellyn Publications, including Moon Phase Astrology: The Lunar Key to Your Destiny, Pagan Astrology: Spell-Casting, Love Magic, and Shamanic Stargazing, and Handfasting and Wedding Rituals: Welcoming Hera's Blessing. Moon Phase Astrology works through ninety-six Moon sign and phase combinations to describe character traits and timing; Pagan Astrology applies planetary correspondences to spellwork, green and folk magic, and remedies for astrological difficulties; Handfasting and Wedding Rituals is a practical planning guide for Pagan wedding ceremonies, covering vows, ritual structure, and low-cost wedding elements. Across these titles, Kaldera's approach folds Western astrology into hands-on Pagan and folk-magic practice rather than treating it as a separate discipline. The books suit practicing Pagans planning rituals or handfastings, and readers looking to apply astrological timing directly to spellcraft.
