Casting is not where you begin in the craft, this is why your spells are not working. Magic is not so simple as swish and flick and say some magic words. For one thing, you must use common sense, maturity, and intelligence when selecting a spell to ensure you are at least casting a valid spell rather than a fantasy spell. You also need proficiency in the basics of magic and an understanding of the nature of magic and how it actually works which is much different from what you have been exposed to in current media. Look into the beginner areas of the site recommended in your welcome to SOM mail that you received upon joining the site. They are newbie central located on the home page and the articles tab. You might also try searching "magic basics" in the search engine located in the upper right of the page.

Oh...thanks!!

I would also suggest the following books to help you understand how and why magic works and what real magic is all about.

"Before You Cast a Spell" by Carl McColman

"Spells and How They Work" by Janet and Stewart Farrar

"The Veil's Edge" by Willow Polson

"Modern Magick" by Donald Kraig

I'll take that into consideration

This is where you need to begin you can not just start casting spells without knowing a lot of information.

Here is a list of the Basics

The basics Tools,Meditation, Visualization, Focus, Moon Phases, Colors, Days, grounding and centering, power flow, Elements, circle casting, Charkas
