Welcome @richard7! I’m Siofra_Strega a moderator here in the forum. I’m from Cape Cod.
I love 
your honest answers to the questions presented! Great answers!
I don’t want to say, “Being one with nature.” I will say having a connection to the Earth & the elements is an amazing part of the journey. Learning how they work & understanding the cycles & how they work & balance each other helps a lot with learning about yourself too.
Any inner feelings, maybe anxieties that you have about your path, they will ease as you find what works for you. Which will come from learning about different aspects & being open to trying new things, genuine active learning, & continuing to do so throughout your journey.
The Divine is a wonderful aspect of the craft. Whether it be the Universe, the Divine Masculine & Divine Feminine, the God & Goddess, or a specific deity/deities, or any combination of those… your beliefs are your beliefs & no one can tell you they are necessarily wrong to have which is the same as opinions in a way I suppose.
Have you found the courses section? Those are a great place to start for the basics of many topics. They are full of great information that you can bookmark & printables or downloads. You can also search the forum for any topics of interest or further information.
Please feel free to ask any questions that you may have, everyone here is very helpful & friendly or to jump in on any open topic. Someone will be along as soon as they can to help you or at least get you pointed in the right direction.
Are there any specific topics that interest you? We have many witches from around the world. We all have our own paths but still love to learn new things & find our own way that’s comfortable for each of us. The Weekly Witchy Challenges 
A History are good place tonseentheany topics we have covered & how they are approached… they are very open to how you approaxh them.
I look forward to helping you start your path & learning with you as you grow
