for how to use the wand, there are many schools of thought there, and indeed it is something you should develop as you go. The traditional "swish and flick" of Harry Potter is a lovely movement that symbolizes the release of energy in a particular direction.

If by "spell" you mean doing a ritual designed to produce a specific result then yes. "The Power of Positive Thinking" is a spell by this definition. So is a Catholic priest saying mass for a sick person with the intent of asking God for healing. However, if you expect any eye of newt in our spells you'll be disappointed (good news for the newts). For us, spells and rituals are a matter of arranging elements to encourage a frame of mind conducive to working Magic. See similar questions...

Some do and some don't. Since a commonly held belief is that what is sent out is returned to the sender threefold, Witches tend to be very careful with spells. A spell is a series of steps taken, to direct the will to a desired end. Energy is drawn from the earth, concentrated, and sent out into the world and it is also believed that with proper training and intent, human minds and hearts are fully capable of performing all the magic and miracles they are ever likely to need.

Nope. Personally, I still perform all my rituals and spells cast on Sabbats and Esbats in a circle, but where and how I cast spells on a daily basis are more flexible. Spells can be cast anywhere as long as you are able to concentrate and visualize on your goal adequately. See similar questions...

Once you have found a wand, move it to your ranged slot. Open up your spell book (Press P) and on the top tab you will find 'Shoot' under your abilities. Left click on the shoot icon to select it, and then left click again on your hot bank to place it. Once it is there, find a target and either click with your mouse, or press the corresponding number on your keyboard. See similar questions...

Except for the normal Blocking spells, no. That can seem unfair, but this balances nicely with the fact that one-second spells are now uninterruptable by anyone who hasn't taken the Wait maneuver. This comes from the idea that Concentration is now the equivalent of a Ready maneuver. As good as you can get, you still cannot ready any object instantaneously*. The same is now true for spell concentration. See similar questions...

Simply go to special ops, enter the amount of wizards you want to use to cast the spell and select the spell. They only work once though! So casting no fear twice will only give you the 10% bonus once, not twice. See similar questions...

Spells are categorized by their primary for of ethereal calarite that they use. There are six forms of this energy present in the ethereal plane. The great mages categorized them as Controlling, Attacking, Enchanting, Enhancing, Healing and Draining energies.

The major law in our religion is: "Do what you will, an it hurt no other." (The Golden Rule) In other words, no one is prevented from exploration of God and GodSelf as long as others are not harmed. We do believe in directing the energies of the universe toward accomplishment of certain ends, but magick is never effective on another person unless the person specifically requests it and takes responsibility for that request.

Yes. And pagans also pray to their gods. But while a group or individual might include a prayer in their spell(s), they're two different things. A prayer is a conversation with your god(s). Humans being what they are, a large proportion of those prayers are requests for help or a favor, but we try to remember to just talk with them as well - not in a time set aside for the purpose, but throughout the day. A spell, on the other hand, is you using your own powers and abilities to effect change. See similar questions...
