Yeah, meditation will help with a lot of things, if you are new here, start with the basic, check old questions in the forum, later, follow any coven, and be active try learn some classic books (mentionated inthe forum), one way or other you will find you best path.

Blessed be

I can help you.Read my bio and mail me with your decision.

Welcome to Spells of Magic!

There is many things you can do, but I honestly believe before trying anything to do a heavy research on it. Meditation is a very good thing to start with but what help is it if you don't know why that is?

I recommend researching for awhile.

Choosing a path to follow, wouldn't hurt either.

Make sure to focus on everything it may seem overwhelming but just get through the steps and you will be good. Message me if you need any help

I think you need to start reading...and reading and reading. I know it doesn't sound like fun right now but the only way to truly understand things like meditation and why it will help and what to do next is to do plenty of research. Meditation strengthens your ability to focus and visualize which is essential for any magickal working.
I recommend starting with a great book by Sorita d'Este called Toward the Wiccan Circle which is basically a beginners course and teaches you a brief history and some beginning exercises to get you started in your journey. Throughout the book and in the appendix you are also given further reading recommendations which I highly suggest you read to find your path.
I also am new and I'm still working my way thru this book. The Author states that it is meant to take approx a year to finish because the exercises take time. We don't get them right on the first try. I also will read about an influential figure in the crafts history and branch off and do independent research as well. That is the only way to truly find your way. Thru knowledge and patience. But you will get there. The first step is being brave enough to take that leap which you have done! :)

I'm in the same place as you are :D

I highly agree with Lotusdreamer Reading and doing reserch will help you A LOT.
At first when you start reading you may only have a few questions,and that's okay; but be prepared to have more questions after you are done with a book if you that's what you chose or a section on a website, or a video that someone posted.

also try seeing what you are interested it.. that helped me get started. for example:
I am highly into crystals, so I read some books and alot of articles on them, it led me to crystal healing and that lead me into questions about witchcraft (:

It isn't just reading so much as understanding. Take the time to understand each side and then chose what sort of path you would take
