First, cap the "W", my dear. ;-)
Get some books and begin reading. Check your local bookstores for anything by Llwellyn. They publish a lot of books on Wicca, witchcraft and magick (they aren't all the same thing). The kind of supplies you'll need will depend on whether you intend to practice witchcraft. Some Wiccans do not. Just because you're Wiccan doesn't make you a witch.
If you've got Wiccan stores in your area, see if they offer classes. Many stores have "seasoned witches" who offer courses to newbies to give them the history of Wicca and a basic understanding of the Sabbats and the use of candles, colors, stones, herbs and crystals used in Wicca.
You can also check online for information. There is a great online course out of the UK - it doesn't cost anything and it's a very informative, step by step "program" for beginners. Good luck!
Blessed be.

First, you have to ask yourself why you want to be Wiccan. Never start a new path or religion without fully understanding why. Are you doing this for the right reasons or because your friends think it'll be cool? If it's for the right reasons, then there are books at the bookstore. Don't commit to Wicca until you have studied and practiced for at least a year, that way you know if it is right for you. Always keep an open mind and don't get peer presured into anything you don't want to do.

I agree with Cody W. Silver Ravenwolf can be a little fluffy and subjective, and I think you should at least have a grasp of Wicca before buying her books, so you can extract the wisdom from the tripe.
Start with Buckland or Cunningham, and he is right about The Complete Idiots Guide to Wicca and Witchcraft, it is a good book, and explains everything very simply, without trying to baffle you with complex rituals.

Study it first. Try and find a teacher or coven that will teach you. If no teacher is available go to a bookstoor like barnes and Noble or Hastings and look at their solitary wicca books.
A lot of women and teens like the books by silver Ravenwolf. I am a man and dnon't have anything against her, but she writes too mcuh like a grad school teacher for me.
Books by Scott Cunningham, Raymond buckland are good and the Idiot's guid to wicca and witchcraft is very good.

Read. Read read read. Read everything you can get your hands on. You must educate yourself before you can choose a path.
