Here is the blog reposted..
I hope anyone reading this finds this helpful. It is not a step by step thing, more of just a loose guide, stepping stone and a few ideas.
The list I recommend is of books I have read. Check back often to see the new books added or comment with a book for me to read so that I might be able to add it to my list! 
Remember Wicca is not the only way! It is important that before you read a book research it and then after you read it check their sources but also use it as a stepping stone to research topics mentioned in the book and do further reading on the subject.
Always read any book with a grain of salt.

The List
The books with the * next to the numbers are books that have been mentioned in the books below them, that is why they are at the top of the list.You can read them first and then do further research on the topic so that when you read the other books you will know what they are talking about but also if they are making stuff up. The *books can also be skipped and read later if you like:
*0)The Malleu Maleficarum (Yes I understand what it is and that most killed were not really witches but I feel that this shows the fear people use to have towards the idea of witches and how that fear has lessened over time.Plus almost all the books below mention this book so I felt it was worth a read and I was right)
*1)Aradia by Charles Leyland
*2)The Book of the Law by Alister Crowley
*3)The Golden Bough by Sir James Frazer
*4)The White Goddess by Robert Graves-His book has been criticized but it is still a very good read

6)The Triumph pf the Moon by Ronald Hutton

Note:By reading and learning about the culture and point in history these myths came from will help you to better understand what they were trying to say. Also finding and reading older versions of the myth is also good. After that it is important to see how the myth relates to your modern time or to interpret it in your own way that fits you personally. This is not changing the story, it is just a way to help you understand it better.

0)ABC of Witchcraft Past and Present by Doreen Valiente
1)Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs-Great herbal reference book
2)Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Crystals, Gem & Metal Magic
3)Signs, Symbols & Omens by Buckland

Other Advice:
-Take a moment to think why you are wanting to go down your chosen path. Write down what you hope to learn, gain and contribute to your path or tradition. You can write this down in your BOS and every once I awhile add to it or if your views change add that to the list and then why your view has changed.

-It is important to do research and to have an open mind but also to use critical thinking Skills!

-Simple or complicated it does not matter; As long as you have Belief in your Will, Will in your Intent and Intent in your Belief.

-As you read these books^ it is best to highlight anything that you want to remember, queots you like and take notes on stuff you would like to do further reading on. Then when you are done write a review of the book in your own words and put them in a folder for later. Every once in a while it is good to either reread the whole book or just reread the review and highlights.
-It is good to read lots of books about other religions (such as The Christian Bible, Torah, The Holy Quran, Mormon Bible ect)
-Try taking Collage classes on Philosophy and Religion or classes done by pagan or other religious groups
-Go to religious and cultural gatherings and various kinds of churches. I found that it is a good learning experience.
-Meet up with a pagan group or join a coven (Please be smart when meeting new people and cautious when looking for a coven to join)
-Watch Documentaries on Religion, other Cultures, Social issues, Physics, Astronomy, Nature and Global issues 
-Try to connect closer with nature. Become more environmentally friendly. Start a garden. Get some house plants (but make sure they are not poisonous to people or pets!) Go hiking and camping or just walks in the park or around your local cemetery (They tend to be made for strolling plus they are quiet, peaceful, beautiful and full of plant life and shade..usually).
-Meditation is good along with yoga or TaiChi. I actually like to do Belly dancing as well :D
-Try to make as many of your own tools as possible. Online it is easy to find ways to make you own tools, altar cloths and so on. It is easier then it looks. For example I am not good at sewing but I have made my own altar cloths and a gossamer like robe from cut fabric and Insta-Hem (The kind you iron on).
-Start a book about any spells or lessons you have tried. Any poems, songs, stories or incantations that move or inspire you. Keep track of meditations, dreams and if you do reading those as well. This will be the start of your BOS but later you will develop a more organized system that is just right for you.
-Set up an altar and create a space where you go to meditate and practice.
-Write your own spells and rituals, I find those tend to work the best.
-If you are trying to become part of a BTW coven then read up on that tradition's rituals and traditions. They usually have a specific way they do things and if that is your goal it is best to learn what those things are. Once you have read up on the tradition you would like to join then go look for a coven in your area but BE CAREFUL!!
