The next step beyond LRM involves two books -- Paths of Wisdom and Circles of Power. The first covers theory and gives material for meditation, the second is a textbook of ritual magic. You can work on them together. That'll keep you busy for a few years; pick up a copy of Israel Regardie's The Golden Dawn so you have the final volume in the sequence, which will keep you going for a good many years after that.
As for a magical lodge, I'm sorry to say that these days most of the ones I know of are pretty dysfunctional, and those that aren't usually accept members only by personal recommendation. There are a lot of messed-up people out there in the occult scene! You might consider picking up a copy of my book Inside a Magical Lodge and seeing if you can find some sane people to work with, and then go on and create a lodge together.
