Welcome to the site, I wish you well on your journey. :)
If you need some help getting started, start with the Basics, they can be found through Google or another search engine, if they are difficult to find,
add 'magick, pagan, occult, wicca' ect to the search.
The basics are as follows:

Shielding
Grounding
Centering
Circle Casting
Meditation
Colors and their meanings
Moon Phases and their meanings
Days and their meanings
Hours and their meanings
Herbs and magick Tools (Stones, wands, altars, ect)
Visualization
Energy Manipulation
Astral Projection and the Planes of Existence
Charms and Chakras
Elements
Astrology

Aswell as your signs and spiritual attachments, Zodiac and elements,
totems, ect. Which can depend on your birthdate, and others require spiritual
guidance through meditation or dreaming. Communication with your spririt guide(s)
can also help you on your experience.

To run down the basics, If you want to learn how to write, or properly cast spells
YOU NEED TO LEARN THESE. There is short cut to truely participating in this practice
without this essential knowledge. You study until you have these memorized, and you may
forget a few along the way. As long as you keep practicing, is as long as you will remember.

These are the basics most go by and is not as long or unnecessary as the other person listed.

The basics Tools,Meditation, Visualization, Moon Phases, Colors, Days, grounding and centering, power flow, Elements, circle casting, Charkas
