That's such a HUGE thing to say! ;) There's so much to learn about, that it can't possibly be contained within an email. If you have specific questions you can always post them here, or maybe PM somebody you think may have information for you on the board.
My main suggestion would be to read. And read. And read! Any book you can get your hands on. :)

and websites. use those. Everyone will have different views and opinions but that's how people are. Handwriting notes is a good way to memorize things. Thise websites may help.

Websites are of course a great resource, just as anything though, remember they are subjective, so read them, but don't necessarily take everything at face value :).

I'd have to second this strongly. Books and websites both have a wealth of infomration to them. Read them subjectively, and make sure you think about what you're reading before you accept it. Only accept something if it apeals to you common sense. And of course... Have fun learning!
I really recommed the sites Rayer listed, lol. And as for books, I like Christopher Penczak's "The Inner Temple pf Witchcraft", "The Outer Temple of Witchcraft" and "The Witches Shield" for basics, and a bit of direction as well as exercises to get you going.

You also have to realize that different people mean different things when they say pagan. When I hear pagan in forums like this I usually think of neo-paganism which includes such groups as Wiccans, neo-Druidry (not to be confused with the type practiced by the priestly caste of the Iron Age Celtic-speaking tribes or even Romantic Druidry that became popular in the Victorian era), Goddess Worship, etc. Many people also would include the reconstuctionist groups, but most reconstructionists don't consider themselves to be neo-pagan at all, and won't apply the term pagan to their religion. I know I don't. But there are other people who when they say pagan, mean any religion that is not one of the three Abrahamic faiths (Christianity, Juddaism, and Islam).
So in order for us to help you, we have to have some sort of idea of what you mean by pagan first of all. And even then, it's easier if you have specific questions.
