Im new to all of this!
Yep, I have no clue what I'm doing which will probably upset a lot of you and for that I'm sorry.
But you see I have been a believer all my life and have attempted magic since I was a child. I am only just starting to appreciate and understand its power yet there is so much more I need to learn. I don't even know what types of magic there are! Though I have vivid dreams ,can communicate with spirits and animals, i can see into the future and have been told I hold great power by many others. Even though I have had this I have never been strong enough to ask for help and for someone to teach me, even just to gain my knowladge of why I can do these things.
Well, some things you could do to help yourself out would be to look into what some people call the "basics." There are several locked and pinned threads in the forums that briefly cover the basics. I'd suggest starting there to learn about some of the things you should first look into.
Practice meditation daily. It helps with centering and focusing, because with much of the craft, visualization and focusing energy is very important.
For grounding, you need to learn how to draw up energy before you can thus ground. Grounding is taking the energy to draw in and giving it back to the elements or your God/Goddess. There are many ways to ground. I like to do a yoga pose where you curl into a fetal position with your knees to your chest and your forehead to the ground, and visualize all the energy you have borrowed(not your own energy) and allow it to move out of your body back to the Earth/God or Goddess.
My ex Coven leader liked to eat snack food(sweets like cakes or cookies) and relax while visualizing the energy leaving her. Just do some research and find what feels more comfortable for you.
Message me if you have questions, I'm here to help.

It seems like your a "natural" then. Keep working on your skills, research and be aware of them. Be aware of yourself and what you think and feel.
Research seems like the best thing you should start with. Get as much as you can and just try to get familiar. Theres many books and websites and even videos that will teach you what you want to know. I suggest keeping a research book of what you've learned and just keep working on that.
As you learn the basis of Wicca and Witchcraft, you'll grow further to understand your gifts and how to use them. Take your time and be open minded.
if you have questions feel free to message me and I'll help with what I can
