Facts in Wicca come from personal experience I find. I may not agree with them all, simply because I ahve no actual experience in that area. Take for example, astral projection. Many say it can be done and they have done it. I have not, and while I respect anothers belief, I am not prepared to believe in an alternative astral universe until I have been there to see it for myself. On the other hand, I believe in ghosts because I have seen them.

Pertaining to rituals, the methodology for a solitary tends to be quite informal. For example, a group would create a circle to cleanse and prepare the area for their workings, as well as to focus the individual energies into one. As a solitary, I don't usually bother with a circle, primarily because of personal preference and because there is less of a need. Groups tend to do more formalized rituals, filled with lovely, long incantations, chants and parts for each witch to play, laid out in advance. As a solitary, I can customize and even alter my practice as I am doing it with out losing the rhythm.

I hope this is more what you were looking for. If what you are looking for is examples of spells for solitaries, check out http://www.pagans.org/~annath/shadows.html
