Hello there, I've been reading an studying up on this stuff for about 6 months now. To be honest I find it difficult to learn and practice on my own. Even from reading the books I've read I just have a feeling I'm doing something wrong. I'll bet that someone is gonna recommend joining an online coven, well that would be one help but it seems as though a lot of coven members barely respond to your questions or are even online. So I thought maybe I'll try finding a real life teacher. That itself has turned into a challenge being that I'm from the south south United States, so my question is this, where do I go or who do I look at at this point?
