Where can I find a good Wiccan teacher or coven that I can meet with in person?

Find a Universalist Unitarian Fellowship. They have a group that is affiliated with them called CUUPs (Covenant of the Universalist Unitarian Pagans). This is usually a group of people who follow various paths that get together to observe and celebrate the Sabbats and Esbats. Also, go hang out at any metaphysical stores you can find. Let the shop owner/s know you are looking for a teacher.

I know you're asking about Wicca, but ADF has a couple of mottoes that apply here: \n\n"Why not excellence?"\n\nWhen you're in such a hurry to ask a question that you can't take the time to place it in the proper category, then you aren't focused on excellence.  You shouldn't be concerned about learning Wicca in "the fastest way", rather you should be concerned with learning it in the most excellent way.\n\n"As fast as a speeding oak tree"\n\nIt takes decades for the tiny acorn to grow into the mightiest and kingliest of trees.  You can't rush excellence; attempting to do so will warp, mutate, or even kill the nascent potential.\n\nSo you, my little acorn friend, should be patient.  The arts magickal are not a race.  \n\nHere are some recommendations to get you started:\n\nBooks:\n"Triumph of the Moon" by Ronald Hutton\n"Drawing Down the Moon" by Margot Adler\n"A Witches' Bible Compleat" by Janet and Stewart Farrar\n"Witchcraft for Tomorrow" by Doreen Valiente\n"Spiral Dance" by Starhawk\n\nWebsites:\nhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/amberandjet/\nhttp://www.witchvox.com/_x.html?c=basics\nhttp://www.witchvox.com/_x.html?c=trads\nhttp://wicca.timerift.net/index.html\nhttp://mothersmagic.net/\nhttp://sacred-texts.com/\n\nAnd please, for the love of Mike, stay the Hel away from Buckland, Ravenwolf, and McCoy will you?  More experienced practioners see them as laughing stocks.

Choosing someone of your faith certainly makes a better match in the long run, especially in our faith (I am Wiccan myself).  It's very hard to maintain a relationship with someone who is always secretly thinking your going to hell, even if they keep it to themselves.  Plus it makes it harder to celebrate the holidays, especiallly if your coven considers their celebrations exclusively for believers.

www.psychic-chat.org \nYou have to join and then you can go into chat rooms where different psychics are. They will read for you in some of those rooms. It is free. They also have sessions to teach others how to open up their own psychic abilities. \nLove & Light\nSharon

I don't know that there are source books online, I've never seen one.  However there are many sites where you can talk to people, and groups just about everywhere.  You will get better info talking to a person rather than trying to learn from books.  Books give you the basics, they don't give you the depth that you need to actually learn about witchcraft.  If your just looking for spells, their everywhere also.  You can always see if this site helps you out:  http://www.mind-n-magick.com/

There are several Wiccans that do not belong to a coven and practice by them selves.  You do not have to be initiated.  And for the people who think that Wiccans are satanic....you have no idea as to what you are talking about.  You don't know, so don't judge as you are not supposed to do anyways.

There are plenty of diecreet outlets to seek out other witches.  I will post some links below to groups that meet in real life and on the net.  :)\n\nThe second link I sent you is a site I use rather regularly.  I have a profile on here  Look for Anthea in Freeport, IL.

Whilst wicca appears to be a sincere and genuine spiritual concept, for your own spiritual well being, I would most strongly advise you to look for spiritual guidance from another source!\n\nIf you are looking to increase your understanding of your own spirituality and your connection to the Divine - then read the Celestine Profecies, or books by Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, etc, or look into Reiki, Shamanism, Spiritualist groups\n\nHowever God gave us free will and this is your choice\nMay God bless you and protect you on your journey!

I am a witch and it is nice to know that there are other practitioners out there. However I can't help with your request. I do wish you the best of luck. \n\nAnd you know you're going to get a lot of hate responses. Ignore them and keep looking. Good luck!

I don't know if you heard of Keen.com but you can literally choose from hundreds of Psychics there.  The one I usually talk with is Psychic Adviser James he is awesome.  Good luck!
