Depends, as
@Audie already stated.
When I was a christian, I would exclusively listen to the second option, but there was a problem with that...
When you only really listen to the viewpoints of those you agree with, you fall victum to existing inside an echo chamber. I dismissed the viewpoints of secular biblical scholars because they weren't led by the holy spirit... In retrospect, what they had was extremely valuable, though; unbiased historical context.
If I had to do it all over again, I'd pay more attention to the scholars. I'd have a richer, more balanced understanding of my faith, I'd feel.
That's why, when I dip my toes into druidry, I'm going to approach it with a much more open mind than I did with christianity. I'm not interested in finding things I'm happy with; I already have happiness. I'm more interested in picking at my own seams to see what unravels, so I can maybe get a deeper understanding of my own self and gain some more useful tools along the way.
