The answer all depends on what areas you are drawn too
or what aspects you are interested in right now...
For just general stuff for the moment I would
suggest reading some of Scott Cunningham's
books...
That will help you get started.

I personally would recommend dealing with controlling/focusing spiritual and mental energy, before doing very many acts. As for study, I'd go with MsMollimizz. Just do study in fields in which you are attracted. I'm personally drawn to the Celtic pantheon and herbs at the moment... and candle magick.

my advice is to read and study as many books pertaining to the subjects that you want to learn about as you can. don't just stick with one author, some good authors are scott cuningham, silver ravenwolf (i know some of you are screaming at me right now but she has a lot of good things to learn from), ann moura, raymond buckland, just to name a few. also i found a website that you can get most of the books you want (although the cheaper ones are preowned)for just a few dollars instead of paying full price for a new one. its www.alibris.com, in the search part just type in wicca or witchcraft and it will pull up the books that pertain to the subject. hope that helps a little.
