Nothing on your profile. We don't know anything about you!

Put a little on your profile. You don't have to put one super-long one like me. Just basic info.

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

"The Veil's Edge" by Willow Polson

"Modern Magick" by Donald Michael Kraig

yea sorry about the lack of info on my profile, im working on it

Don't be sorry it's okay.

Seems from your bio that you really are new. And no, your friend was not a werewolf. They don't exist. Learn what magick really is. Start by reading these:
Forums. Go to General Info and read Starting Out and Basics Expanded. This will give you a good start. And look up info on the internet. about.com is good. Stay away from fantasy. It is make-believe, like your friend's claim. We cannot change into other beings. We cannot control the weather, nor the elements. When you get some knowledge, you will understand why. May you find what you seek. Blessed Be...
