lol yea, spells can have loopholes so try to be specific. XD
my first one was a candle spell [it was green but i don't know if it was for luck, health or money] but i do remember finding 5$ on the street as i walked home a few days later. then again, everyone calls me lucky, so i don't know if it was the spell or the natural 'luck of the Irish' that did it.
Lectures are just an option, to acquire more knowledge and experiences. About the right path, one day you will find, what you fell better, or fell more energy. I think many of peoples that start casting spells fail in some way, but they just need more practice, and I think each spell can work in a specific way for each person, like astral projection for example.
My first spell was a short protection spell for my Book of Shadows. It did actually work as I felt the energy all over my book but it didn't last very long.
I then made a better protection spell after planning out the timing of the spell and now my Book is nice a safe :)

My first was a love spell that I created myself with candles, crystals, herbs, and of course words and time. I did not want to try any spells until I know I was fully immersed in the craft first.
It worked and I have now been married for going on 21 years this August 7th. :)
My husband was a former boyfriend who came back to me and I to him. :)
So you never know who that Mr. Right is, it could be that boy you dated in High School that you though would never grow up. lol
It was a LOOOONG time ago in college during my first exploration into Wicca, it was a money spell. I played the lotto and won $20 bucks! Lol!
Sadly Catholic guilt won out and I ran away from the craft. Here I am 18 years later and it was actually God and my Angels that led me back to learn how to manage and develop the gifts and powers he gave me. Go figure!;)
