Nothing on your profile. It may be that you are a beginner, and have not studied enough about spells, and how they work.That sort of knowledge does not come overnight!
Its cause that form of magic is to advanced for you to cast you should practice more simple things and you must hold on to magic you cannot just say a few words and it work perfectly you gotta feel the energy's you got to tell the gods that you want to cast this spell But that's all i'll say because i'm pretty much just as new as you.

Well, if you're serious about learning how to do magic and with starting from the rock-bottom then you don't start out by casting spells, you start out by learning how and why magic works.
You see, there is no such thing as an "easy" spell or a "beginner" spell. One either understands how magic works and has mastered the basics...in which case the magic will work..or you haven't done that sort of work..and no spell will work no matter how "easy" it seems.
Casting a successful spell involves much more than finding some spell on the internet or in a book, saying some words, lighting a candle, waving a wand of any of that sort of thing. In order for magic to work you need to understand how and why it works in the first place. Grounding and centering, visualization, focus and intent, energy manipulation, etc are all necessary first steps to even begin to have a chance at a spell actually working...and more importantly to prevent a spell from back-firing on you.
So, my advice for anyone who is truly serious is to start by reading a few books and practicing the exercises those books will give you. Once you have mastered the basics you won't need anyone to give you spells, you'll be able to create your own spells that will be far more effective than anything you find on the net. Here's the books I suggest:
"Before You Cast a Spell" by Carl McColman
"Spells and How They Work" by Janet and Stewart Farrar
1. Maybe it's too advanced for you. 2. Before casting spells understand how they work. (I'm at that part ) 3. Maybe your too stressed. 4. Believe

Ok yes like the others have said it may be to advanced but it could also be about the spell you cast. If it a friendship spell don't just stop at the end of the spell try talk and becomeing friends normally as well it will help that you cast a spell but you should still act as if the spell was never cast and become friends normally.
It is a sign that you need to learn and practice more. Sometimes, even though you are practiced, it may not work. Why? There are many reasons. 1. You lost your concentration or focus. 2. You have no belief and 3. You need to learn more.
well, first of all. I don't personally believe in spells that bend another person's will (love spells, friendship spells, etc, though its all right in my book to do spells to attract friendship and love).
Secondly, spell work requires many things, experience is a big one, the more you do the stronger your power level becomes. The focus and will of the caster as a lot to do with it as well, if you aren't focused on it chances are you aren't putting out the energy to get it.
Timing also is a big part, it might not be the right time for the spell, it doesn't mean it won't happen sometime or that you should give up, it just means that it isn't meant to be for the time being.
I agree with Lark as it's nothing to do with the spell being advanced or easy. Magick is magick and spells are just the way they are. What do you consider as an advanced magick? Something that has more steps to do? Or dangerous? I think all the spells have the danger of backfiring and that's what makes spells complicated but not just a specific group of spells. All of them.
Think of this. (again a cooking example. My mind's stuck there today) when someone is going to cook something, they need to know how to cook first in order to prevent any troubles. If someone doesn't know the basics of working in the kitchen, they might just cut their fingers or burn the whole house. But when one learns the basics, he/she can easily cook anything. Cooking is cooking. When you have the recipe, you can cook anything just some can take longer time and steps. Same as magick. Some spells can take more concentration and more steps to have it done.
As it's been already mentioned, first you need to study magick and understand how it works, then jump into casting the spells. I assume when your primary spells failed, your faith went down as belief can affect the spells pretty much as well.
