How can you find a teacher/coven,or contact people who follow the same path?

A good place to start, could be www.wiccancovens.com which is a part of the Wiccan Directory Project. This site offers free listings for covens who want to solicit new membership. You need to know that over 90% of the covens do not list themselves publicly. But, with the behavior and attitudes of the religious intolerant, you really cannot blame them. 

The Wiccan Directory Project offers an anonymous database for your use and on over 3,000 websites nationwide. Most people who visit this directory are practicing Wiccas or honestly want to learn more. This site offers anonymous email for email communication for people involved with covens and those who want to learn. This service is called the Magick Mailbox and it is a go between for you to find the people you seek without having to worry about judgmental or narrow minded individuals.

Here are some tips for you:
This doesn t mean that your coven will increase dramatically if you list it in the directory, but it will make you accessible to people who want to join you.
People who are in covens, should take their time and get to know the people who approach them. It also doesn t mean that you have to accept the people who approach you. They want to join you, but do you want them?
Ask potential members the tough questions. This can be an effective screening process and you want to protect your current members.
Always meet for the first time in public and never alone.
