Honestly! Please use common sense when looking at spells on this site!

Some do and some don't. Anything that says it's going to turn you into something else, give you wings, allow you to control the elements, etc will not work. Use common sense when sorting through them and avoid the fantasy section of the spell list. It is called "fantasy" for a reason.
That being said, if you are new to magic, I would start with the basics. Looking at the F.A.Qs tab on the home page and the Featured Articles in the Articles tab may also help. The Basics Expanded and the Starting Out threads in the General Information section of the forums are also good places to look.
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
Use common sense if you think the spells might not work, like the fantasy spells section we have here, all of the spells classified in fantasy spells would not work even if casted many times over.
The spells themselves are just a focus for you really. The ability to raise, channel, and direct energy, for your your paticular need lies with you. So yes, some of the spells will help you get into the proper mindset for that. Others, not so much.
My personal beleif and a saying that has been past down from my family for ever was "the strongest spells are of that the ones that you have made". Not saying that there are not spells out there that do nor don't work.
Don't listen to alfather he doesn't notice that you're a beginner and he is being very rude. Yes spell do require a lot of ingredients and some don't at all
