Merry Meet @tasha9! I’m Siofra from Cape Cod, I can agree with everything mentioned by @Garnet. We are all very friendly & supportive of each other’s unique path. If you have any question feel free to ask or jump in on any open topic. Someone will get back to you as soon as they can to point you in the right direction.
I was lucky that my husband, while he doesn’t believe in this & says that it’s not his “thing”, is supportive & will make my items or buy me crystals & jewelry related to my practice. He also likes that as he puts it, “You always have something interesting to put in the fire.” (I like to add sage 
, rosemary, palo santo slivers to the coals of our fire 
pit)
Your mother reminds me of when I was practicing & still new to all of it when I was younger & my mom thought that I had some kind of something outside our house & the cat was trying to protect us from it & then told me that I have to keep away from the evil. Of course, that evolved the totally wrong way for me because she didn’t completely understand Wicca or witchcraft & it turned into I was worshiping Satan in my room. She was the first person to introduce me to astrology, divination, and crystals… but was raised Roman Catholic & so were my brother & I. The understanding just wasn’t there just the concept? 
Not really sure on that one, but she originally was the reason I was interested at all.
The courses section does cover many topics, so take your time going through each one & find what flows with your practice & feels good or right. Another great way to find what works for you is the 
Weekly Witchy Challenges, the current one will end on Tuesday morning at 7 AM EST. You can find other witche’s interpretations of the challenge & either read the entries or enter your own.
I look forward to speaking with you soon! Feel free to reach out if you need anything!
