if you're at all interested in wicca in particular, scott cunningham's "wicca: a guide for the solitary practitioner" is a great read for the beginner witch. i'm still finding my path personally, and i'm slowly stepping away from wicca, but i still consider cunningham's books to be very valuable resources for any pagan. just understand the time it was written: pre-internet, and with a bit of a presumptuous view that wicca is synonymous with witchcraft as a whole. as long as you bear in mind that there are MANY paths in paganism & witchcraft, there's much to be learned, and who knows? maybe wicca will be right for you!

Very interesting journey to start on, but when it comes to figuring out where to start you have to kind of know where you want to start!
What’ interests you the most about paganism?
The thing that interests me the most is the pagan view of the world they see the world as somewhere to cherrish and that really resonates with me!!

May I recommend reading Drawing Down The Moon by Margot Adler? It's a big read and not a mandatory obviously, but it has quite a bit of context and history behind paganism, and it has some interesting insights that might help you find the aspects of paganism you resonate the most with.
Honestly overall I recommend looking into how other people practice (try to stay away from short-form social media videos on the subject, because if they're genuine they're still being forced to condense everything, and may lose important details, and then obviously they aren't always genuine, or can be blind leading the blind) and take on board what resonates with you and what you can incorporate into your practice, and feel free to cull what doesn't resonate.
Also make sure the sources for your research are a) well versed in what they're saying and b) don't have sinister motives.
I wish you luck!
