Traditions of The Craft

I think it is best to learn about all of the traditions but decide on a tradition that resonates with you. It will take time to choose a tradition and exploration on your path is the most important decision for you. There are many traditions of craft practiced today. All of the modern witchcraft practiced today is based, in part on a past tradition/system of magick.

Side note: If you want more in-depth knowledge about each tradition, the information is available in books and online.
