What "leaders" are we talking about here? The Pagan Federation are generally held to be the official face of paganism but I can't think of any individuals I would call a 'leader' of my faith. Have you got anyone specific in mind or are you talking about influential figures?

Hiya Beth . No , I'm just using the term in a very general way . Teacher , leader , or anyone we get ideas from . WE all choose our leaders , and choose if we follow them or not or how far we do follow .

Pagan Federation eh ? Sounds ... political .

I get mine from meditation and messages from my spirit guides, books and personal expereinces.

The Pagan Federation scares me lol. have no idea how they work but have heard their names a few times...just sounds like something far off of paganism itself. (my personal opinion)

BTW hey all, new here

I see it as working to remind myself of what I've forgotten.

i clicked my mouse and voted: "Examination of my personal experiences"
although there are times when i'll need to do research on a spell, or trying out something new, only then will i take a visit to the bookstore, to find whatever i'm looking for.

A lot of experimentation and evaluation. Pretty much everything on the list except the experiences of others, and leaders in the field. =) My beliefs constantly change, sometimes on a weekly basis.

I get my most of my ideas from books and personal experiences. Other people's experiences may also affect me.
