Hi @johanna3! I’m Amethyst from Southern West Virginia. Welcome to the forum! 
Sounds like you’ve got a good start with your abilities, that’s great! I second going through the courses, they’re a great place to start on the site and are just full of useful information.
Also check out this week’s Merry Meet Monday- Magick News of the Week post, it has what’s going on in the forum so you can jump in on activities and start playing with us. I look forward to getting to know you better!
