Witchcraft is part of a much larger whole. Being a long term practicing Witch myself I can make a few simple statements:
Witchcraft is part of Pagan religions...key word is *religion*...if you are unwilling or unable to study, and dedicate your life to it it WILL NOT WORK for you. Like Christianity Pagan religions are a way of life, NOT a hobby or a pass time. Be prepared to spend a lot of time looking at yourself, and make absolutely sure you are willing to do this.
If you are asking this because you caught an episode of Charmed give up right now...that series is SO far removed from what Pagan religions are all about.
But if you are wiliing to learn, study you will find that Pagan religions can benefit you in a multitude of ways, both personal and professional.

firstly people need to learn to speak english "I thought you WAS one?" No its were. Next time pay attention in school. Anywho my friend is a pagan and no she didnt join a coven. Its spirtual and a commitment like any religion( if you decide to become pagan or wiccan) I found a website particularly catering to your interests: http://www.wicca.com/celtic/wicca/howto.htm . This teaches you the spiritual aspect as well as how to set up your alter and other things you need. Yes my friend she even teaches simple"spells". However in my opinion spells are merely a faction of the imagination however, the spiritual side as well as your commitment to the lord and lady will make you a "witch" or better known as a pagan or wiccan. I hope this helped

Dedication, Research, and a lot of time and hard work......
You can be taught in a Coven and learn a "Tradition"....
You can practice as a "Solitary:" either by following a particular tradition or by eclectic study and research.
You can be taught by a family member if you have the luck to be born into a hereditary family.
Or you can be "apprenticed" to a Solitary who has agreed to take you on as a student.
You need to decide if you want to work within a Tradition as Part of a Coven or as a Solitary, Elcectic or Traditional. Then you need to either find a suitable Coven or Pagan Church to join. Or start the long hard task of teaching yourself....both methods have their positives and negatives...it is up to the individual as to which Path suits them.

Why do you want to become a witch? They do not exist.

It is easy -- buy a black hat, get a cat, cast magic spells, consort with the devil, ride a broomstick.
Witches were an invention of the misogynistic medieval church to explain misfortune, bad weather, diseases, etc. They took it out on elderly single women, whom they tortured and murdered. I don't think you really want to be a witch.
In the past 50 years or so, a new "religion" called Wicca was invented that is supposed to be based on ancient pre-Christian beliefs from Northern Europe. It is basically feminist, new-age mumbo-jumbo. They don't cast spells or ride broomsticks.

It's very easy. Just declare yourself a witch and you did it.

you have to become conscious of what you project and recieve from other people as well as other parts of your environment. This is serious stuff if you can understand it.
