fluffy magic

Such as what Lark has done on these forums, I would reccommend some books such as The Veil's Edge and Modern Magick or a good starter Book of Shadows is the Grimoire of the Green Witch, or the Wiccan year, perhaps even many other books you can find on Amazon.com

There's plenty, and also if you walk into most garage sales and especially thrift stores, I've seen many of llewelyns' books there.

Great pics
Also Simplistic and yet effective
Beginners books that can be used to begin any path pretty Dogma free
Mastering Witchcraft Paul Huson
And the sorcerers secrets Jason Miller
Modern Magick,wonderful as it is will most likely scare the total beginner off as a very first book
Paul Husons book is a perfect mix or lore,fact
Spells,rituals,etc,you can easily be learn the basics and History in a few hundred pages

I agree and disagree with both sides in this.

Yes any magic spell can work . There isn't s true " fake " spell .

However . If your going to cast a flight spell Do Not be foolish to think your going to fly.

Here's my rationalization of this topic. If you get a " flight spell" say all the right words. No matter what you will not soar into the sky. Although , flying as other terms if use. It could be an emotionally uplifting spell . What that " sends your spirits Flying" not the typical wings but something that a true spell wouldn't care about. You " flew". Not Clark Kent like but genuinely had an experience where you were buoyed in spirits to feel like you were " flying"
