Give your spells time to manifest. Spells can take up to a year to manifest. U can always redo the spells and it will give the first spell a extra boost.
I can sence energy aswell and most of my spells manifested. U have to direct the energy to the intention and let it go. Don't pull the energy back by thinking of the spells after ward and worry when it will manifest. The trick is to let go and forget about it

another thing that helps is not to doubt your spell but to do re-affirments a lot, just say to yourself that is has worked and it also helps boost the spells effectiveness

Make time every day for meditation. Even 15 minutes a day can help if you've got a busy schedule. Learn how to enter a state of deep relaxation with ease. Once you can do that, practice simple visualization techniques.
Try looking up the Middle Pillar Exercise from the Kabbalah. Doing that exercise three times a day for two weeks can increase your energy level a lot. It helps with aura cleansing and a few other things as well. If you can't find it, just message me and I can type it up for you, I do it a few times a day myself.
I don't know if you're familiar with hermetics, but you really should be if working with a hermetics based system. Try looking up hermetic correspondences as well, familiarize yourself with them.
Energy manipulation is a must as well, learning how to build and control it, directing and transferring it as needed. I can give you a few exercises for that as well if you're interested, just message me.
Also, in order to work magick, we must first work on ourselves. Physically, and mentally.
There are many, many more things you should learn/develop before attempting rituals or spells. These are just a few things. I studied for over a year before attempting my first ritual. That's just me, everyone's different.

this is a problem a lot of beginners deal with, but don't get discouraged. Sometimes spells take some time to work, and sometimes some spells aren't meant to work for a number of reasons.
Take a good look at the spell before you cast it, learn about exactly how to do it, when to do it, and what you need. some spells require a certain timing (Like a new moon, on a Sunday) and it'll cast best on that time.
The ingredients are also important. There is a good amount of spells at there that don't require many ingredients, but the ones with them tend to work better (for me at least). Everything in the spell should be balanced out and fit right for your intent.
you also should try to figure out if the spell you're casting is what you need right now, you also should have belief in it. if you don't need the spell at the time and you cast it anyway it might be a waste. and if you don't believe - or truly want - the spell to work then it isn't going to.
keep working with it, it does take some time to build the corrent energies and learn to use your skills. study, study, study. You'll get the hang of it.
