Hi I am very new to magick and spell casting and I want to know if there is anything i should know before I start casting. Here is a list of the spells I am going to do and there intentions.

1. Lost item spell. (for finding something I lost )
2. Wealth spell. (to get some money)
3. Blessing spell. (to help my mom)
4. Remove Affliction spell. (to help a friend)
5. Banishing spell of my own creation. (to send a mean neighbour away)

Thanks for any help!

  I have some general advice that you might find helpfull since you are new to this.  While there are books of spells that doesn't mean that they work the same for everyone just as some people can follow a receipe to the letter and their result comes out inedible.  We need to discover what abilities we have and then learn how to use them.  (1) For something lost,  I would focus on and see the object in my mind and then look around it.  Sometimes the surroundings are seen in a quick flash or even just as a color, but that is where the lost object is now.  So if you see "green" look in all the places that hold that color.  Not a spell, but it works.  (2)Wealth. I personally would never do a spell for wealth, because it sounds like something I want rather than need. I would focus on the situation that i need the money for. (3,4) again consider the end result that you would like to see. The blessing for your mom may be a bit vague unless you are just wanting her to have a good life. For your friend with the affliction, I would ask to make him/her functional. (5) neighbor.  The neighbor is not the problem here it obviously is something about him that affects you, so without me knowing the details....you can cast a protective circle around your property, do a binding spell, place mirrors to reflect the negativity, make a witch's bottle, any number of things.  You must remember that everything exists in an intricate balance. I feel it is my place to ask for and accept only what I need.  As I said before there are books of spells but i feel there is a fine line between spells and prayers.  Having a legitimate purpose and good intent is understood as well by the Gods as any perfect ceremony in my opinion.  I will do a spell when I know one or can compose one,  other times I just pray.     Shadowolf
