    i agree with ya, but thats all the want – money

    edit – to Sadhara Satguru and Julia – well why dont they spend years trying to do something usefull like become nurses and doctors. And no they don’t just have a gift, they learn how to be nurses, andi’m telling you it’s a damn sight harder then reading a palm or a pack of cards – and they should get a lot more money for what they do!!!

    To be honest with you, most “psychics” who charge money, or even those that do it for free, but promote themselves, are scam-artists skilled in reading people who do it for the attention, the money, the glory or the fame. Though not all who charge or scam artists. Just most.

    I do rune readings. I do not claim to be psychic, but I believe anyone has the ability to read runes or tarot cards (or a pendulum or other tools). Because I am Wiccan, I am a firm believer of not charging money to help people. People are free to come to me for readings, and I help them as best I can.

    Some, especially the ones who know and trust me, often pay me for my time. But this is a tip, and I do not require it, nor do I even get upset or dissapointed when I do not receive any kind of tip. I am just glad to offer aid, and knowing I helped them is enough reward for me.

    If you are serious about wanting to find someone who can give you tarot, rune or psychic readings, try going to your local wiccan/pagan/spiritualist shop. Some offer “free readings” or you may just bump into someone who can give you readings.

    I believe in it and I feel the same way you do, if they have this gift you should share it freely

    Sure, tarot card readers and psychics should give out their gift for free.

    So should musicians then. The great pianists, violinists, even the local garage band should all do their work for free – music is their gift, so gifts all have to be given out for free, right? Yay! No more paying for CD’s!

    Oh, and don’t forget artists, painters, craftspeople, pottery workers, ceramic workers, those who use their gift of art to construct beautiful landscapes and gardens, etc.

    Oh! And poets too – that’s a gift as well.

    And don’t forget those who have the gift of being able to envision and build beautiful buildings and bridges.

    And of course, teachers! Teachers have the gift of being able to teach well (well most of them anyway), so they shouldn’t charge for their teaching either. All schoolteachers should do their work for free!

    And doctors and nurses! Scientists! All these people have the gift of being good at science and medicine. So of course they should give it away for free!

    In other words, EVERYONE was born with a gift. It is something each person is very good at, and it’s ALSO something that each person can use to make a living doing.

    Don’t equate gifts people have with which they make a living as being BAD. It’s not.

    Otherwise you’ll have to apply that to every single person in the world who is good at something and uses it to make a living in addition to bringing it to the world to help people.

    No double standards, ok? Either EVERYONE is able to charge money for bringing the gifts they were born with to the world to use, or NOBODY is.

    EDIT: So what if they have to go to school? LOTS of people go to school to better learn how to utilize their GIFTS. Artists go to school, aren’t you aware of that? Musicians go to school – ever heard of Julliard? Give me a break.

    It’s entertainment, just like you pay for other novelty items and services. Circus acts don’t have PHD’s but people pay to see them, most actors don’t either but they make millions.
    Nobody is forced to pay if they don’t want to so what’s the big deal? And no, I am not a psychic.

    To pay their bills just like you do!

    Spending years developing as a psychic & then dedicating all of your working time to being a clear channel does not come with a wage, so the time spent has to be charged for!
