Merry Meet...and welcome...

I have been silent... watching... listening... dwelling inside myself for the past 3 years.


It is time once again for me to sing the song of the gods.


I miss Grand High Lord Riverstone. With his passing I was heart sick...and believed that the word was lost.

I threw myself into the wind that roars through the chasm and thought that without his guiding hand I could no longer give my lessons...I took that blind step off of the precipice as the Fool...and on a fools quest I found myself.


I apologize, for I have run ahead of the tale...always was my problem...run headlong to deliver the answer when the question is not fully known.


I am Lord Glade...High Priest and Founding Father of the coven of Shade and Sweet Water... Father to Pendragon and Twilly...Student of the BlueStar...He who holds the Northern Bone Sword...Master of Ghost...Formerly one of the Traveling CaVa'...now a simple, quiet carpenter.


I entered into my 49th year of life last June 13th. Sacred numbers these...49 (7x7), 6 & 13. To those of you who practice such things I leave you with the understanding of this set of numbers, for the others simply understand that to me I am in a powerful time of my life...a moment in my living hour when it becomes necessary to sing.


This medium is foreign...blogging...messaging...websites...for it was GHL Riverstone who bade that the teachings be given in the traditional, rabbinical fashion...word to ear...ear to heart...heart to head...head to hand.


With his passing, a witch for whom I have great respect stood in his place as Grand High Lord. His bidding was that all media be used to teach. Regretfully I stood down shortly after his ascension, not with any disrespect, but out of mourning.


Thyme has passed...and it is now thyme for me to set aside the sorrow and stand again in the circle...and sing the lineage which it has been my honor to carry.


As in the past, I am called to speak on that which touches my heart. Primarily my lessons will continue to center around "Men and Their Relationship with the Goddess", The "Weapon of Love", "Living In Balance" and "Equality within the Circle".


I will attend this computer area at least once per day. I will also monitor my email at smilinginthedark@gmail.com on a daily basis.


Should no one choose to respond I will let this go...and keep on my journey.


Blessed be...

Lord Glade
