Yes. Those links are good to start out with. Its also easier to advance through magick if you choose a type of magick you want to practice to start out with. After getting a good amount of information on that subject, move on to another. I suggest starting with healing spells or luck spells.

Maybe look into things like farie/fae magick, dragon magick, candle magick, potion craft, or even just dream magick. I know that's a lot, but if you find one that makes sense it might help. Of course, you don't have to.

Fae magick and Dragon magick I wouldn't say easy if he/she doesn't know anything about it. He/she most definitely needs to know the basics before he/she can embark this journey. Especially Dragon Magick. The basics is the easiest you can get especially use those links! Not saying magick is hard it just needs practice.

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
