Is It Acceptable to Charge for Spiritual Services? [View all]

One issue of spirited debate in the Pagan and Wiccan communities is that of whether or not it's acceptable to charge for teaching classes or performing services. One school of thought says it's never okay -- after all, knowledge is something that should be shared freely, at no charge to a student, because you can't put a price on spirituality. Another group argues that of course it's fine to charge - after all, teachers need to make a living too. Many people fall somewhere in the middle of all this and say it's okay to take money for teaching, as long as it isn't an exorbitant amount. Let's look at some of the pros and cons of charging for one's services, in a spiritual capacity.
