Hi @kym! I’m Amethyst from Southern West Virginia. Welcome to the forum! 
It’s great to have you here! I too got really into Witchcraft in my late forties. It’s a good time for it.
Have you found the Courses yet? They’re a great place to get started. There’s even a lesson on Shadow Work. It’s got a bit left to go before it’s finished but what’s there should help you get started.
If you have any questions just ask and someone will pop up and help. I look forward to getting to know you!
