Welcome and merry met. It is good to see a young open mind.
For starters. everyone on this forum will be more than happy to answer any question that you might have. It's the reason that we are here, to help each other.
A question to you now. Are you looking to follow the faith or just the craft?
If The faith calls you, I highly recommed Scott Cunningham as an author to read. His primer is very comprehensive and easily understood, also, he preaches exploration over any specific path. Exploration is essential when you are just starting out. A lot of people don't look at what's around them enough anymore. They miss so much (myself included.) but there is a well spring of good writers out there and you should have no trouble finding a primer to suit you. If you find a book and are unsure of the reliabilaty of the author, please post a question about it here to us. With as many diverse people as we have here, I'm sure someone will have heard of it and be able to give you an opinion on it. Remember though, the ultamate desicion on any matter will always be you. We can only advise.
If you are like Witch1693, happy with your current religeon and only seek to practice the craft, then I very much, highly recommend the "Element encyclopedia of 5000 spells" by Judika Illes. It encompasses multiple magic structures from Voo-Doo to Sumarian to Santarian. It's a great reference to have until you build your own, personal tome. It's also a great reference for the practiced caster as it covers all levels of difficulty. Kind of like a "Witches home desk reference."
A warning though! Be aware that Judika Illes does not lean one way or the other in the moral debats on spells. This book has both the posotive and the negative side of things and she presents it as a scientist would formula. Some of the spells listed can be dangerous.
Good luck and Goddess Bless.

The greatest advice I was ever given: It matters not what you believe. Only that you believe it wholeheartedly.
