I think she says her previous experiences were more about black magic and she doesn't want to learn that..... I could be wrong though.
Maybe you could slow down to type and fix the wrong auto-corrects so we can understand you better.  I use my touch screen phone & constantly hit wrong key or it autocorrects wrong, it's a pain but I can still post something others can read (hope that doesn't sound mean lol)

The complaint is less about your typos than your use of abbreviations and shorthand. For example, it is not much harder to type "Sorry" than "Srry" and "my" instead of "mi". It's good forum etiquette and shows that you respect those you are asking questions to. We are taking your requests seriously and ask that you write to us as if you are taking things seriously as well rather than just hastily texting. Even when I use my tablet, I take the time to write intelligibly.

It is a good thing I am fluent in iphone, lol.

I'm going to send you to the library for now (which is my usual answer for most study problems.) You said you were very turned off by the idea of black magick, so it seems like you are letting your moral compass decide your course of study. Good for you for going with your gut.

My first question to you is this: where do your interests lie? You are asking a very broad question. Are you looking for info on the path of wicca/witchcraft in general or a direction of study to pursue? For general stuff, I would suggest Scott Cunningham's Wicca for the solitary practitioner. I'd also send you to www.witchvox.com, a pagan ezeene that was esential to me when I first started studying. You'll get a lot of varied points of view but it has a lot of resources about specific traditions and paths as well as a listing of events, classes, resources, and organizations by area so that you can find other teachers near you if you are interested.

My next bit of general advice is to start meditating regularly. The Witch School First Degree book has a lot of basic spells, energy work, and daily exercises that will help you to strengthen your energy work and ability. And both Cunningham and Rev. Don Lewis, the authors of the two books I am recommending take the "Do No Harm" law very seriously.

Next, start to read things that appeal to you on a spiritual level. What myths do you identify with? Is there poetry that moves you? Are you a diehard foodie? If so, maybe kitchen witchraft is for you. What do you think of when you think of magick, of witchcraft, of wicca? What do you hope to gain from your experiences? Lets narrow down your goals. Witchcraft is a very broad field and the more specific you can be about the information you are looking for, the better.

I recomend that you type more slowly, because warning or not, i can barely read you.
Also "Der" Instead of "There" is not a haste typo, that is balant misspelling. Avoid that please.
(Because i refuse to help people who insist in typing like that...)

Wow that was brutal to read through. Some of that I can understand attributing to your iTouch, but most of it is pure user spelling error. Please don't "type fast" anymore.
