i have been able to communicate with spirits interact with them and see them for about three years but there is still a lot i do not know. Such as what are the dangers of communicating with spirits and what type of covens are there? these are answers which i greatly lack and was hoping that i might find them from the members of this guild. i greatly appreciate any help you might be willing to give.

There are many types of spirits and I can't speak to every sort, just those I have experience with. Nature spirits are fairly benign if your intentions are good, I have found. This is not to say that some, in some places, might not be negative.
I am wondering if storms have 'spirit' and those could be harmful. I remember once where I got the distinct impression, during a circle, that we had called the west just a little too well and a thunderstorm gleefully cut short our ritual!

Types of covens.....all sorts! There are ones with strict adherence to traditions where joining has a specific protocol, training is required and final entrance is through initiation. There are covens which arise solely out of the energy of its founding members who may have limited training. There is every sort of coven/circle/grove/hearth in between.
I have met strict Gardnerian Wiccans who are closed and reserved but otherwise quite full of opinions (I had a couple who were regulars at my IRL discussion group). I trained with a Dianic group up to initiation and am a respected guest to many of their events - they are quite open though have a certain sequence of steps through which you join them. One of the most prominent covens in my area has no training requirement whatsoever.

i see. thank you for your time. though i do still have some questions. the most important of which would be . that i am very unrefined in the craft so using it proves to be dangerous for me is there any way that i can practice and improve?

I thought the same thing when I was starting in practice, what I used to do is believe that I can control my own energy. Try doing simple spells before attempting anything that may be considered dangerous. Try to only put a little energy into the spell, I normally do and the energy still comes back to me threefold. Let me know how it goes! wink
