Goldstone is a little-known gemstone that was speculated to have been discovered during the Renaissance by glass-manufacturing monks in Venice when molten copper was accidentally spilled into molten glass. Hence goldstone has an alternative appelation of monk’s stone or monkstone.

When the molten mixture of glass and copper cools, the copper crystalises which creates the impression of a reddish-brown stone with a golden starry-glitter. The night-time constellation effect of goldstone lends it another of its alternate names: stellaria.

The reddish-brown hue of the stone is actually an illusion. The glass itself is transparent and is given the appearance of reddish-brown by the copper crystals.

There is some disagreement whether goldstone, due to its being synthetic, should be considered a gemstone. However, in common parlance, goldstone is referred to as a gemstone.

Goldstone has a Mohs hardness of 5.5 (comparable to the hardness of turquoise). It is often carved into jewellery and ornaments such as spheres or sitting Buddhas.

Goldstone can also be found in blue, which is paradoxically known as blue goldstone.

Goldstone jewellery is available from Mochishop.

The wand has been in use for many thousands of years as a magickal tool. Some of the earliest wands found were Egyptian and dated approximately 2800 B.C. The primary magickal uses of these wands appear to have been to return evil sent and to create order out of chaos.

Nowadays, the wand primarily has two applications. The first is invocation and the second is directing energy. During circle casting, the witch uses invocation to call the quarters (North, East, South and West) and to invite the Goddess and God to be present at the rite. During Magick work, the energy that is raised is concentrated in the wand and then directed at the appropriate moment at the “item” to be charged with the spell’s power and intent.

Allow me to illustrate:

Calling the Quarters

Stand facing North, on the inside edge of the circle. Raise the wand to point upwards. Say: “Hail, Spirit of the North, Element of Earth. I call upon you to attend this Circle and to protect this sacred space.” Visualize the point of the wand glowing green, indicating the presence of the Earth Spirit. Lower the wand and visualize the green projecting from the tip of the lowered wand as a green mist. See this green mist settling in the northern quarter.

Walk with the wand lowered, to the East. Raise the wand to point upwards. Say: “Hail, Spirit of the East, Element of Air. I call upon you to attend this Circle and to protect this sacred space.” Visualize the point of the wand glowing yellow, indicating the presence of the Air Spirit. Lower the wand and visualize the yellow projecting from the tip of the lowered wand as a yellow mist. See this yellow mist settling in the eastern quarter.

Walk with the wand lowered, to the South. Raise the wand to point upwards. Say: “Hail, Spirit of the South, Element of Fire. I call upon you to attend this Circle and to protect this sacred space.” Visualize the point of the wand glowing red, indicating the presence of the Fire Spirit. Lower the wand and visualize the red projecting from the tip of the lowered wand as a red mist. See this red mist settling in the southern quarter.

Walk with the wand lowered, to the West. Raise the wand to point upwards. Say: “Hail, Spirit of the West, Element of Water. I call upon you to attend this Circle and to protect this sacred space.” Visualize the point of the wand glowing blue, indicating the presence of the Water Spirit. Lower the wand and visualize the blue projecting from the tip of the lowered wand as a blue mist. See this blue mist settling in the western quarter.

The United States Secret Service is an organization that is surrounded with mystery and respect. The men and women that serve in the Secret Service are truly American heroes, and the appeal to the excitement of their life is definitely appealing. However, being a Secret Service Agent may not be the life that you might see in the movies.

The Secret Service is actually one of the United States oldest law enforcement agencies. It was started in 1865, and at that time, it was actually part of the United States Treasury Department. At that time it was brought about to help combat counterfeiting.

However, in 1901, after President William McKinley was assassinated, the Secret Service was asked to protect the president. From that day forth, things have never been the same. In fact, today the duties of the United States Secret Service have been split into two different avenues.

One is that they are responsible for the safety of the president, vice-president, and other important political figures. The other avenue is that they must guard the United States against any crimes that might threaten our financial security.

However, the Secret Service does not simply have cart blanch to do as they please. In actuality, there are laws that dictate exactly who the Secret Service may protect. Of course, the president and vice president are covered, but so are the families of these individuals.

The Secret Service agents are actually required to protect past presidents for the next ten years after they have served in office. They are also charged with the safety of visiting political figures, and any other individuals that the president may dictate need their attention.

A United States Secret Service agent has been guaranteed certain rights and privileges. These are all outlined in the United States Code in Title 18, Section 3056.

It states there that any agent or officer may carry a firearm, make arrests without a warrant for any crime that is committed in their presence. It also states if they have a reasonable belief that a crime has been committed, they may execute warrants, investigate any fraudulent identification documents, and they may even offer rewards for information.

To become a United States Secret Service Agent takes quite a bit of time. First and foremost, any applicant MUST be a United States citizen. At the time of application, there is a fair amount of paperwork to be completed. After that, any candidate will need to go through a comprehensive background investigation before even being given an appointment to interview. Typically, this will take anywhere from six to nine months to complete.

Due to the sensitive nature of this type of work, they need to be sure that they are hiring top-notch individuals. From there if you are hired, you will proceed through a litany of different types of training. Any United State Secret Service Agent is trained to be the best of the best, and nothing less than that is accepted. In the long history of the United States Secret Service, nothing less than that has been seen.

A secret service agent career is indeed a career worthy of consideration for those seeking an exciting career path. If you are interested, I urge you to look deeper into it. You can do so by visiting websites which cover the career in more detail.
