Merry meet @sarah51,
Welcome to the forum, and congrats to you for beginning your exciting magickal journey! 
It sounds like you have some wonderful magickal interests- have you been able to find everything okay? There is a lot of content on both the main Spells8 site and here in the forum, so I recommend using the Search Tool (with its advanced filters) and the Tag System to quickly find discussions about your favorite aspects of magick.
And if you have any questions, the Q&A Category is there for you! You have a friendly coven of fellow-magick lovers, so feel free to ask away 
Looking forward to talking with you more soon- Blessed be, Sarah!
