The first thing that's almost always suggested is to start meditating, but I'm sure you know that if you'be already done some research. There are courses out there you can take, but most cost something. I've found one that is free online (although there is a book you can buy) called Quareia. I haven't gotten through it much because I frankly have other priorities than magick atm, but it's based on visionary magick and uses concepts from Kabbalah, from what I've read about it. It deals with the Arbatel at the end of the course so there's also some Christian mysticism involved, I believe.

If witchcraft is more what you're looking for, here's a list of books from some trad witches:

And another from an occultist:

If you're interested in Chaos Magick, there's Liber Null & Psychonaut by Peter Carroll and Condensed Chaos by Phil Hine. You might check out the podcast Rune Soup. The host is a chaos magician and has written a book called The Chaos Protocols, which isn't really for beginners but you may find interesting.
