I've been studying religions and faiths for about ten years. I've pretty much got who believes in what. Wicca however, still seems to be "calling" me. The problem is I live in a country in which that kind of "religion" is not very easy to study. Brazil is a majorly catholic nation and, trust me, I've looked, but I haven't found any covens much less anyone to talk to about this. How do I start out in this solitary path? Is there any basic literature I should read? How do I know that wicca is really "right" for me? Are only people of nordic ascent capable of the practice? If anyone out there can help.... I'll be truly grateful :) Thanks!!

Merry Meet and welcome to this wonderful path. there is not much to add after all these great responces. I find Scott Cunningham to be the easiest to read and follow. I have been a practicing Solitary for over 35 years. I am of Italian/Spanish decent. I live in the bible belt in southern united states. I know how you are feeling. Your path will lead you to the knowledge and places you seek. good luck safari
