That's how I got started with magick too. I may be the administrator now, but I was not the person who originally created this site in 2010. It was created by a friend of mine, who invited me to join. I joined even though I didn't really believe in magick, but after seeing some interesting rituals and success stories from others, I decided to try my hand and it started slowly working for me, and the rest is history.
Well, I recommend starting with something simple first. Magick can get very complicated, and very expensive in terms of the materials required if you so choose. However, there are much simpler things you can do with a lower barrier of entry. You can browse this section for some ideas:

If you want to start with something simple, I can suggest these threads:

A lot of things... but in my personal opinion, it has more to do with manipulating chance and the wheel of fate than direct physical manipulation of the universe. Many may disagree with me on this, but my recommendation to you is don't focus on trying to make fireballs or move objects with your mind. Rather, focus on things in your life that would benefit you, but that only have a small chance of being successful, and try and make those things have a higher chance of happening.
For example: instead of trying to manifest a bag of cash or a bar of gold in front of you, try to increase the chance of landing a job that you are only just barely qualified for, that will pay well. Or if you run a business, try to increase the chances that people looking for your product or service will find your business instead of your competition.
Of course, there are other goals besides financial, but this general rule of increasing odds instead of manifesting a sudden, physical, or immediate change applies to them all.
It will cost you time, effort, dedication, and in some cases money. Will it cost you your soul? Will it bring you damnation? Will you be condemned to hell? No, not really, unless you do the most vile things. It's perfectly possible to remain moral, even within an existing religious paradigm while still practicing magick.
Good luck!
