Heroes
Hall of Paladins
Paul Koscheski, FPD
The Hall of Paladins is where we recognize individuals in our local community, from outside our scene, who have shown outstanding compassion, courtesy and professionalism in their treatment of the Ravenwood family.
Al's Heroes
River: "The human body can be drained of blood in 8.6 seconds given adequate vacuuming systems."
Mal: "See, morbid and creepifying, I got no problem with, long as she does it quiet-like."
"Do not injustice to another Defend the weak & innocent May truth & honor always guide you Let courage find a life within Stand up when no one else is willing Act not in hatred or in spite Be to this world as a perfect knight Even if it means your life..."
- The Cruxshadows
Westley: "Why can't I move? Why am I up against this wall?" Fezzik: "You've been mostly-dead all day."
Inigo Montoya: "You know Fezzik, you finally did something right." Fezzik: "Don't worry, I won't let it go to my head."
Inigo Montoya: "Is very strange. I have been in the revenge business so long, now that it's over, I don't know what to do with the rest of my life."
Westley: "Have you ever considered piracy? You'd make a wonderful Dread Pirate Roberts."
Ravenwood Manor TONIGHT - Requiem @ Teatro Scarpino, featuring Versailles, Bella Morte, Ego Likeness & Mordacious. (Doors open at 9:00pm) Posted at 1:25 PM Oct 29, 2009 view more
Lady Tracy (aka Batty), of Azraels Accomplice Designs, is a dear friend, a member of Ravenwood's Marek family, and is Ravenwood's Duchess of Houston. Treat her right!
***Please note: Ravenwood will NOT tolerate bigotry and hatred of any kind, and we totally reject any ideology that preaches such bullshit. There is no call whatsoever for such mentally-deficient behavior, as the world is big enough for all of us!***
Ravenwood is an international family of friends sharing a common bond in our love for gothic music (all genres), and the fashion and culture associated with it that distinguishes us, in our own unique way, from the rest of humanity.
The Ravenwood project has existed for the past decade to reach out, draw in and focus the attentions of our visitors toward all members of the Ravenwood family... all of the beautiful people networked with the entire Ravenwood project (i.e., Ravenwood Manor, Ravenwood Festival, Ravenwood Modeling, AND Ravenwood Scriptorium).
Ravenwood, as a community and international family, is everyone who is networked to us via our websites, as well as our network of friends and family who do not have an online presence - with acknowledgement of association as a member of the Ravenwood family being up to each and every individual who is networked with us. Not everyone chooses to do so, though there are no obligations for doing so except to have fun and to be as civil to one another as much as humanly possible. (We do understand and acknowledge that not everyone will get along with everyone else. Especially not when there are over 4,500 different individuals in the Ravenwood family altogether. This is unfortunate, but it is just a fact of life!)
What the staff of the Manor do, and what we stand for, isn't about the Manor project itself. It is about friends, family, Ravenwood as a lasting legacy, and our cause (the honest, selfless dedication of our lives to promote "underground" music & culture for the benefit of everyone). The Manor's activities are essentially not-for-profit.
Al, aka DJ Francis Marek, is the founder of Ravenwood, though only one among many who are Ravenwood leaders. He is a MacTavish/Thompson, though his Czech ancestry is where Marek comes from. He is an INFP personality type... though this accounts for merely a fraction of his peculiar brand of eccentricity!
The Ravenwood Manor profile is maintained by Al and Ladies Kristie, Sterling, and Erin. Also on our staff are Ladies Lesley, Tyra, and Jana. The Manor website/directory (www.ravenwoodmanor.net) is maintained by Al (who is currently trying to get it caught up and useful to everyone). The other project leaders are listed below, along with their respective projects and staff. The region that all of Ravenwood's current project leaders call home is NW Arkansas.
Please leave all drama, inflated egos, and conflict at the door. If you take yourself way too seriously, feel you are somehow superior to everybody else, and/or do not have a sense of humor, you will not be happy among us. In addition, one of the quickest ways to get on the Ravenwood family's bad side is to victimize (i.e., harass, stalk, and/or abuse in any other way) the women who are part of our family.
Ravenwood Modeling is led by Lady K Herbert and Lady Carrie Anne. (A big, heartfelt Thank You to Holly GoDarkly and Nicodemus for their outstanding work with Ravenwood Modeling prior to it changing leadership!)
Terry Bivins, aka Shackpacker, is Ravenwood's Lord of Racing. Don't be shy about stopping by and saying hello... He's a great guy altogether, and one who is at peace with our music and culture.
Darker Beats Productions is run by our very dear friends DJs Azrael, Justy, Anthony Bale, and Death Mistress.
And our dear friends DJ Spiff & %Drakonfly%, and Beatnik Generation, also offer a wide range of excellent design and promotional services in NW Arkansas!
Ravenwood Manor's Troubadours (Those bands who have not only been with Ravenwood for many years, but are dear, genuine friends who have stayed in touch with us all this time! Their support of Ravenwood is truly appreciated!)
It takes more than simply being networked with Ravenwood to be a Troubadour of the Manor... Just as we honestly care about everyone in the underground music scene, those musicians within the scene who display a real concern and compassion for us have a special place in our hearts. These are the musicians who have shown us that they truly care about Ravenwood as a whole, and what we are trying to do for the scene. For this, they deserve special mention!

Evening Solace
The human heart has hidden treasures,
In secret kept, in silence sealed;
The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures,
Whose charms were broken if revealed.
And days may pass in gay confusion,
And nights in rosy riot fly,
While, lost in Fame's or Wealth's illusion,
The memory of the Past may die.
But, there are hours of lonely musing,
Such as in evening silence come,
When, soft as birds their pinions closing,
The heart's best feelings gather home.
Then in our souls there seems to languish
A tender grief that is not woe;
And thoughts that once wrung groans of anguish,
Now cause but some mild tears to flow.
And feelings, once as strong as passions,
Float softly back a faded dream;
Our own sharp griefs and wild sensations,
The tale of others' sufferings seem.
Oh ! when the heart is freshly bleeding,
How longs it for that time to be,
When, through the mist of years receding,
Its woes but live in reverie !
And it can dwell on moonlight glimmer,
On evening shade and loneliness;
And, while the sky grows dim and dimmer,
Feel no untold and strange distress
Only a deeper impulse given
By lonely hour and darkened room,
To solemn thoughts that soar to heaven,
Seeking a life and world to come.
- Charlotte Bronte
