Hi I'm new and I need a lot of help. I read the grounding and casting circles and tried 3 spells 3 days ago for the first time but don't know if it worked oh and one before midnight today. I have no fsmiley support even tho through my mothers side there's a blood line of talents. I'm really lost on how to even make something work. I always believed in magick but idk if Im losing it lol
There is no need to cast a spell at this point. Simply take your time and learn the basics such as meditation, centering, grounding, energy manipulation and visualization. It is good to have a strong foundation to begin on.
Even some who have practiced the basics for a year or so, still have not cast their first spell. It is better to take your time before you make a mistake that could be costly.
Also, not all the spells work on here. More than 70 percent of them do not work, they are to bring traffic to the site. There are some that do work, but in order to know which ones do and which ones do not, you need to study the basics and have a good understanding of what magic is and how it works.

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
as a beginner myself i find reading forums a great way to learn! the more skilled post valuable information to help answer questions:) i suggest reasing them, and taking your time
also i love it when people say the read articles :)
