Where do you get most of your ideas from?
Because paganism doesn't have set doctrines, I'm just wondering where most of you get your ideas from...

Pretty much all of the above , although I'm a little leary of " accepted leaders in the field ".

All, except, as Kreeden says, the leaders in Paganism field. I don't believe in higher Druids. Sure, wiser, more knowledgeable and deserving of respect Druids, but not of higher ranks. That's part of why I dislike OBOD.
Most of what I do is experimentation, especially with meditation.

Usually from meditation. Sometimes from books.
I don't see how anyone could pick the generally accepted leaders option.

Well, experience of course.
 But as with everyting else, my ideas do change. And I also study other people's experiences as well. But mostly, the spirits are pretty good teachers.

I voted for all the choices. I know "accepted leaders of the feild of Paganism" just might be an unpopular choice, but there is no way for me to deny the influence that they have had on me, either postivetly or negatively. The "Pagan" books; often from self proclaimed leaders or they become leaders because of the books,as a source are often conversial enought to cause thought. The process of causing thought is what I look for when I am searching and reaching for more ideas.

If we were honest , we all would have to say that some leader or the other has had some influence upon us Isabella .
That is assuming that none of us have been living in a fish tank or something .
