Can’t help too much personally, I don’t do many spells in my Practice.
However, there’s possibly resource links to books in the Book thread: book-discussions

The best suggestion for cataloging spells is by making your own rituals and spells. I only ever found one spell that worked in the beginning of my research. I believe it was called “orb of protection.” Manifest the energies around you into a sphere and release it into the air. It’ll explode and cover you in spiritual armor. Honestly, this sight is probably your best bet for learning spells.

The main part of this site has many resources for beginners, including spells. I don’t use spells very much in my current practice (at least, not in the traditional western sense) but I used to go through various books and youtube channels and find ones that appeal, making tweaks sometimes to suit my preferences. Our book list here in the forum is vast, you should have no problem finding them.
Cheers.

Superb Saturday bby,
The “legit spells” are the ones that work for you!
Magick is sooo much about intent, not necessarily “turn around 3 times and jump up and down”; so it has to work for you.
A spell may work for Jane but the exact same spell may not work for Judy. You just have to try them out. I find ones that I like and sometimes adapt it for what I need. I use most spells as a guideline since I have my own deities and ways to cast…So, it all depends on individual practice. You will find which ones work for you.
Suggestion…I use a 3-ring binder (the mini-size 8 1/2 by 5 or so) with dividers, that way I am able to add/change/subtract spells, with the dividers I can arrange them. I have an “opening/closing” circle section. Banishing/binding section, Ancestor section…with the binder you are more free to change and re-arrange as it works for you. Since it is a malleable book you need not worry about making any “mistakes.” I did start with a leather-bound BOS, but did not appreciate the “mistakes” and/or changes I wanted to make. With the binder, it is much more adaptable.
I hope this helps you out, baby.

Hi, there are so many books filled with spells. Personally, I work with candles and knot magic, to name a few of my go-tos. My favorite candle book is “The Enchanted Candle by Lady Rhea”. I create my own sigils to customize them to a specific need. My High Priest suggests that before you start to work a spell, you consult with a pendulum. Also, when doing spell work, make sure you are grounded and remember that we are not to cause harm. I’m particularly careful to craft my intentions in such a way that it doesn’t come back at me in a negative way. So mote it be and it shall be.

Yes this is so very important. Not to ruffle any feathers, but I wrote a “negative/return-to-sender” type spell for Trump and his “homies” yet I was able to keep it all in positive language. No 3-fold return to me!!

I can’t really recommend any spell sites. Most of the spells you find online, and honestly many you’ll find in books too just aren’t legit. At a certain point, you have to build your own discernment and learn to tell what actually works and what’s not.

Hi! We have some on the site that are well researched and that I’ve pulled from either my own experience or worked with authors for (Judy Ann Nock contributed to the love spells post) or were inspired by those found in ancient texts. You can find them here: https://www.pagangrimoire.com/category/spells/
Working on adding more. If there’s a specific spell anyone wants, let me know and I’ll try and prioritize it on my list.
I also quite like the Encyclopedia of 5,000 Spells: The Ultimate Reference Book for the Magical Arts, Exploring Folklore, Myth, and Magic from Every Corner of the Earth and Across Millennia by Judika Illes.
