Getting StartedIn my opinion, the best way to start down the wiccan path is through the reading of many, many books. Practicing in a coven situation is not comfortable for everyone. I encourage you when starting out, to read and study at first on your own. Then if you feel so inspired you may contact one of your web weaving contacts and possibly come under his or her tutilage. Below I have provided a list of great books that you might consider looking into.
"Wicca: A Guide for Solitary Practioner's" by: Scott Cunnigham
This is an excellent book for beginners, it outlines all the basic principles of the craft and more. Cunnigham puts everything into terms that even to most novice Wiccan can understand.Definately a must read!!
"Living Wicca: A Further Guide for the Solitary Practioner" by: Scott Cunnigham
This, a further voyage into the craft by Scott Cunnigham, is an excellent book for the beginner. It goes more in depth into the daily life of a person walking down the Wiccan Path!

This is overall one of the best books for anyone starting down the Wiccan Path and those a little more versed in the Wiccan Mysteries.

No Wiccan book collection is complete without Buckland's Complete Book of WitchCraft.
