Hello and Sorry That This Will be a bit Long

Hi. I'm…a little confused to say the least. To start, I'm kinda new (obviously) to this site and the whole Wicca thing. I've found and began following two deities and I've made a small alter of sorts, which doesn't look like much of one because I'm not out to my mother yet. Though I've managed to get my hands on some tarrot cards, I can't really get my hands on any proper books. My best friend and I have started on this path together, and she's found her own deity.
But, here's the thing we really could use some help with. My best friend and I are beginning and we're both in the same boat. It's very hard to explain. We did this thing called 'linking' in which we would reach out with energy and connect to other people's minds. We could feel their emotions and see what they were seeing, if we were well enough focused. It led us down a path where we learned to feel out energies and we could manipulate them. Store it for later, draw on what we stored, we could store and use energy from the world around us. We kinda just figured out that these were magical energies, but it makes more sense. We also were-well, technically we still can-able to see and speak to shadow people and other various ghost types. After some times, we got connected with our souls. We're able to speak with them and even, through a meditative state (in a way) see and move around the soul world. Recently, though, we've been focusing more on ourselves and our souls have been leaving us alone to do so (rather than dragging us into all their problems, which I won't lie, got annoying and invasive of time that needed to be spent elsewhere). Now with us beginning in witchcraft, we feel a bit lost. There are things that feel like it's just the technical terminology for what we've done, or are possibly variations of it, and we need to know where we're at so we know what direction(s) to go from here.
This is a lot and possibly confusing. I'm really sorry to be a bother if this is completely new and not something that can be answered easily. It feels as though starting from scratch would be counter-productive. I appreciate everything. Thank you.
