I first learned by reading in the library. It was stupid books you can guess like X's guide to magic, introduction of spells by Y. It took a lot of time for me to learn the basics. Most spells have the same 4 steps:

1- Preparation 

If you will use any components. Enchante them, check their status or obtain them etc. If you won't use anything this is optional. 

2- Energy 

This is the step of the energy source. Shamans called upon the spirits, some people wanted power from their god, some meditated and some used stored energy. Source is at your preference but power of the source is highly related to the effect of the spell.

2- Conversion and affirmation 

At this stage you give energy an effect and a purpose. For example let's say we want to attain money. Sun's energies are highly effective for it. So we can use either the Sun's energy from the second stage or use some Sun mantra or similar to give our energy Sun like features. 

Then we give the energy an affirmation. This is usually optional but i highly recommend it. Affirmation needs to be short, concise and understandable. Magic is like water and it will try to take effect in the way with least resistance. So you gotta limit it. I have seen someone use 'In a positive and healthy way' in their affirmations in the past. This is one of the most basic but effective tactics in affirmation imo. Let's get back to the example. We could use an affirmation like 'I am earning huge amounts money in a positive and healthy way. '. Short, concise and understandable. You don't need to read poems or recite 5 different ancient writings for a spell. 

4- Guidance

This is just guiding energy to what you want to effect. In this example we just infuse it to ourselves. 

This is basics of it. Just read about what other people use in it. After you select a way you want to gain efficiency in, just research. Use commonsense and logic when making spells. Anything too absurd or dangerous either will not work or hurt you.
