I would learn shielding before anything else. It's safer to cast spells, because casting spells is dangerous. You can read some of the articles and write notes in a notebook. Writing helps your brain remember it. It's good to practice meditating, shielding, grounding, and centering.

would you have the time to explain what it is to sheild and how one should place the sheild of protection?

Shielding comes in many forums, though to truly grasp it, you actually need to learn energy manipulation and visualization beforehand.
Shielding is manipulating energy from inward, to outward, commonly used is a 'bubble shield' this is to protect you from negative forces or things you generally don't want shifting through your mind or body.
It can be done to protect your home, or enhanced with tools with spiritual properties like salt. Its good to cleanse both before and after you shield, you don't want something stuck in there with you.

Personaly i use a shield of thorns and mirrors.
