I am a baby which I have been studying for about a year now and I can do things that normal people in my family cannot manipulating spirits spiritual emotional and physical energy this all is nerve-wracking to me but witchcraft so far has explained a lot of what's happened to me it has become a study that I feel is the right path for me and would like to have a teacher to show me or tell me about this world I don't know if there are witches out there that have a Google classroom or or would like to help guide me or know somebody that can please tell me I guess I'm trying to say is help. đ

Hi! I'm honestly not in a position to be a teacher or mentor, but here are a couple of ideas for you to ponder...
1) Slow down and take a deep breath! đ The sheer volume of ideas about witchcraft (never mind the commentary, guidance, spellwork, etc. associated with each of those ideas) can be a flood that sweeps you away -- think of trying to get a drink from a fire hose vs. getting a drink from a small water fountain. Take a little time to think about what aspects & practices of the Craft seem to attract you the most (or at least seem slightly more interesting than others) and focus just on those at first.
2) Learn some of the basic vocabulary that's generally used by other practitioners, and some of the basic history that tends to be referred to with the apparent assumption that "everybody knows this." That way you'll be able to more easily absorb the information instead of having to constantly stop to look things up. MAKE SURE YOU USE MULTIPLE SOURCES FOR THIS so you get a general idea of things rather than just one particular point of view about some things. The "Books & Resources" area here in the Forum is a good place to start. :-)
3) Know your own preferences but remain flexible; it's surprisingly easy for a preconceived notion to masquerade in our minds as a basic fact, and as we learn more it can become necessary to adjust our ideas & views. That doesn't necessarily invalidate any ideas... but it doesn't necessarily support all of them, either. Enjoy both the reinforcement of what you thought you already knew AND the blowing of your mind with new information.
4) Check out the Wonderlust Coven Discord for a sometimes wild, sometimes noisy, but always far-ranging set of discussions and ideas in addition to what's available here in the Forum. It's a very different kind of environment but there's a LOT of information available in there even if you just lurk & read.
Best of luck to you in your learning, and be sure to leave questions & comments in the various sections of the Forum to help you along your path!
Thank you this helped a lot.đ¤
