I've been practicing Wicca for nearly 20 years now and I'm always happy to try to answer questions or point people at good resources to get themselves started.

To start with, here are some books that I would suggest.

"A Witch Alone" by Marian Green
"The Elements of Ritual" by Deborah Lipp
"Witchcrafting" by Phyllis Curott
"21st Century Wicca" by Jennifer Hunter
"Before You Cast a Spell" by Carl McColman
"When, Why...If" by Robin Wood
"Practical Pagan" by Dana Eilers

You can also find the recommended reading list that my coven uses at:  http://www.tangledmoon.org/reading_list.htm

Here's some websites that you may find useful in helping you with questions.
