Magic Forums

Hi all am totally new to all of this have been thru a lot of sites but this one was the one that I felt I should be so here I am. I'm Sammylee Lucy I have created a profile and I do keep trying to upload a profile pic but for some reason it wont let me I do keep trying though. I'm here to learn and discover the right path for me. There's so much to know and I am just pouring over the whole site I just feel so hungry for the information and to find out all there is to know but that's just me I guess. I'm very open minded, my family seem to think that is a problem but I disagree I like to find new things and try them out and I strive to succeed in all that I do but when I make mistakes I learn from them and do better and try harder.
I have no idea where to start. I don't want to just go ahead and start casting spells for the fun of it. I feel if I should be finding out and studying the history of witchcraft and practicing everything but spell casting before I actually spell cast... am I wrong? Or is it just that simple as choosing a spell and casting.
