What are some of your favorite spells? Do you mind sharing? Candle color, waxing/waning moon, etc...

I wrote a protection spell intended to be usable by people who have no witchcraft training:
Take a number of votive candles equal to your age, and place them around you in a circle. Light them, starting at the east and moving clockwise around the circle. When they're done, hold your cupped hands about a foot to a foot and a half above the first candle, so you can feel its warmth but you're in no danger of being burned or smothering it. Move your hands to the next candle. Continue around the circle.
When you get back to the first candle, push it about a foot farther out from the center of the circle. Do this to each candle in turn, so you have a larger circle. Warm your hands over each candle again.
Then push them out again, one at a time, and then warm your hands on them each for a final time. When you're done, go to the center of the circle, and spin around clockwise three times. If you can, visualize the warmth of the candles filling you, and the spinning creating a "tornado" of warm energy surrounding you.
After spinning , go back to the first candle. Whisper over it,
"Fire warm me, fire protect me,
fire burn whatever would harm me."
Blow out the candle, and then blow the smoke away from the circle. Go to the next candle & repeat until done.

Eclectic Pagan (solitary by practice).
Usually I find it best if I write my own spells rather than copying them from another. It lends more energy to the spell as well as shaping it directly for the purpose intended.
If you are having a hard time coming up with some, check out some books (like "The Element Encyclopedia of 5000 Spells: The Ultimate Reference Book for the Magical Arts (Hardcover)"
by Judika Illes) and then if you want to customize the spell for your purposes, thoroughly research the symbolism or meanings of things that you may want to swap out.
Personally I do a lot of work during the Full and new moon's, as well as some working on the dark of the moon.
Overall I use natural colored beeswax candles as my base candles, if color is needed I either can visualize it with the natural beeswax candles or else I special order in colored beeswax and then make the number of tapers I need by dipping.

I'm a chaos magician. I don't really do "spells" per se, although I do...I refer to them as rituals. I have no specific ritual that I do for any one thing; they are usually planned with a specific goal in mind and not used again, although various methods are sometimes used over and over. I perform them both alone and with another magician, depending on the circumstances and the ritual.

Not all pagans are interested in magic. When I cast spells I like to use various crystals and stones. It would be rather useless for me to tell you any of my spells if you didn't already know how to raise, work with, and direct energy. Also since our personal correspondences may be different, our connections to various stones may be different, and even our entire magical systems may be different, what use would one of my spells be to you? I'd help if I could. Sorry.

I wouldn't really consider myself a pagan, but I do like working with candles and oils best.

Meditative energies, i guess is what one would call what I do, but I try not to devulge any more than that. As far as spells I would say healing.

My best spells are done through Astral Projection.

Thus saith the Lord
Deu 18:10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,
Deu 18:11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
Deu 18:12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
