There are a lot of groups at yahoo groups. There are a million publications available. Check your local area for what is called "Meet Up" which is a monthly meeting of witches held in many parts of the country for people with like minds to meet and discuss their way of life.

Copy pasted:
Modern 20th century Wiccans draw their religious ideology from the Mother Earth cults of the Celtic and Nordic peoples of pre-Christian Europe. The word "Wiccan" first appears in an early manuscript of an Anglo-Saxon scribe in the alliterative phrase: wyccan and wælcyrian, "witches and valkyries."1 The word in Old English has masculine and feminine endings and denotes both men and women using magic arts. The word "victim" in English has the same derivation as wycca and originally meant a living human being "set apart" to be sacrificed to a deity.
The religion is traced to ancient Celtic and Northern German people who practiced human sacrifice. The Roman historian, Tacitus, records that the ancestors of the English speaking peoples, the Angles, sacrificed to the Mother Earth Goddess. In his Germania, "On the Origin and Geography of Germany," Tacitus describes this gruesome ritual as "a ceremony performed by slaves who are immediately afterward drowned in the lake." Some of the victims, astonishingly preserved in peat bogs, are on display in museums in Denmark.

if you'd like to email me off this board, I'll be happy to answer questions, but I don't teach anyone except face-to-face.
But first my hubby has to show me how to make my email available to posters here.
I'll ask him to do that tonight - but be aware that he and I are leaving on a short vacation (five days) tomorrow morning.
