News and Observer staff photographer, Pailin Wedel, took a great photo of RavenHarte and accompanied the photo with the following article:

Liza Castro, also known as RavenHarte, center, leads an opening unity ritual for the Pagan Pride Festival at the state fairgrounds in Raleigh. Castro, the high priestess of Clann Caladvwlch, referred to as a Western Mystery style Celtic Arthurian coven, says she hopes to with her unity ritual 'unite everybody, not just pagans. Everybody. To get them under the same banner of love, truth, communication and honor and hopefully change humanity.' People attending the festival gathered under four banners with the words love, truth, communication and honor then called out those four words when prompted by Castro. Castro says paganism is a very open path with a high diversity of beliefs and very little strict dogma. 'We embrace all paths all religions,' she says. 'We don't say ours is better than any other. We don't raise any God above any other.'
