Where to start?

Hi, I'm Nick, new to this site and I have a couple questions. I've been very interested in magic for probably a couple years now and I've finally decided to give it a chance. Yes, i believe in it, but I want to approach this professionally. I don't want to be like "teach me sumz cool magicz summoningz lulz" that's not what I'm here for. I want to start from the very bottom and work my way up. The problem is, I have absolutely no idea where to start. I have this book "The Sorcerer's Secrets" by Jason Miller, but I feel like it goes too fast. I want to learn ALL the basics so that when I'm ready to start doing spells, I have the right knowledge of how they work and how to prepare before and after spellcasting. Everything I learn should preferably be over the internet.

My future goals for magic would probably be to be a pretty powerful "Magician"? "Sorcerer"? "Witch"? See, I don't even have an idea of what I would call myself. So where would I start from the ground up? That includes practicing as well as studying. I don't even want to think about spellcasting yet.

Thanks!

Whatever you do, you can always practice Astral Projection in the evenings. Also you can start with Energy Manipulation, mm... first learn what is grounding and centering, after that you can easily make a energy ball. Next you can try shielding... Don't lie to yourself that some of these things are not important, every practice is important. While doing this you can find some visualization and concentration examples to practice. When you learn all of this you will be able to find out what is next by yourself.
