Merry meet and congrats on starting the path :)
Seeing as I'm not sure what particular path you're following it's a bit hard to give specific info, not to mention I myself have much to learn. but I do go on one *amazing* website (That has a book published off of the one course) if you're genuinly serious about this. There's a year long program && a forum that should have most, if not all the information you'll need from *many* different people; both solitary and coven-based, new and older practitioners, etc.
http://www.magickaschool.com/
some of my biggest generalized advice though, for those just beginning, is to make sure you get your hands on all the information you can. Read things, both online and in print. but try to make sure you get good sources; for example, I personally would HIGHLY discourage the works of silver ravenwolf, and this article should cleary explain why:
http://wicca.timerift.net/ravenwolf.shtml
...
aside from that just relax and let things come to you, follow your own path and have fun defining yourself :)
Blessed be! namaste <3
------- *EDIT*
wasn't my answer "answering your question" ??? :S
are you looking for specific authors to check into or something?
there are of course the works of Doreen Valiente,
many of Crowley's works,
Buckland maybe.
Plus Farrar and/or Cunningham
hope this helps

Ok, here are my problems with this:
Christianity worships and revers one god, Wicca embraces the God and the Goddess, how do you reconcile that? Neither Christianity or Wicca are part time religions, you either are or you are not.
You say you have been Wiccan for a year and you are 12? How can you be so sure at 12 that you really and truly want to be a Wiccan priestess?
As far as I know, no ethical coven or solitary would take a student under 18, so who brought you into Wicca? If the answer is no one, how can you be sure you are Wiccan?
My advise to you is the same advice I give to all children who think they want to become Pagans, Witches and Wiccans. Wait until you are an adult and can make these kind of life choices without having to worry about what your parents think, and in the mean time study what it means to truly be Wiccan.
Talk to adults who have be Wiccan for several years, learn it's history and why Wicca was started, not just the New Age version that calls itself Wicca.

Well, there are many good Wiccan sites. I usually go onto www.witchvox.com and www.modernwiccan.com. But I prefer books. A couple of good authors are Raymond Buckland and Scott Cunningham, but many people have said to stay away from Silver Ravenwolf. And one of the best ways to learn is through another person, so if you can, find a teacher. You just have to be careful, if you don't trust a book or site, just go to something else. And don't believe that everything you read is true, some people just write books for money, and some make a site believing they know everything because they read one book. Just follow your intuition, sometimes you are the greatest teacher.
Blessed be,

Goddess don't listen to the negative/hate mongering prats. YOUR path is your personal path. What works for me might not work for you.
There's a lot of information out there. I suggest the first thing is to look at what you're confortable with. My daughter's path leans more towards crystals, when my is more lore. Doesn't make one right & the other wrong, just we're on different paths.
It's useless to suggest looking at Runes if you're more intrested in herbs. Look within, look at what you're interested. Check the sites many Pagans here will toss up. My _personal_ ones are the two below.
Be careful & listen to your inner bell.

wicca.timerift.net is basically your one-stop shop. It's got great 101 type info, essays, book reccomendations, history, practical advice, and above all else a good sense of humor, which many sites unfortunately lack. Plus it's associated with "Oh My Gods!", the Pagan-based comic for the polytheistic masses.

So Wiccan is going to teach you at your age.
The fact that you claim to be both shows you don't know what you're talking about- and, frankly, it's allowing people who don't know what Wicca is to claim to be Wiccan that is responsible for the nonsense some alleged Christians here are claiming.

go to google and type in "Wicca" or "Pagan" and put in words like "Rede" and "goals" and you will find thousands of other things to help you.
Just remember the rule of three and not to do spells until you are well grounded into your faith and you are sure SURE of what you are doing and why.

Yes - 'From Witchcraft to Christ' by Doreen Irvine, gives an excellent description of just what you're involved in.
