Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of genuine teachers, there will always be those who think it's possible to buy and sell spirituality.

I know certain Glastonbury types have a reputation of being the worst when it comes to buying and selling 'spirituality', but they are by no means the only culprits.

Some things are worth so much that they move beyond monetary value. Wiccan training is one of those things.

Caveat emptor!

the problem is where people see a profit can be made, they are going to charge even if it's a beleif/religion. christian church is another good example of this.

The problem is that money corrupts, and when people start teaching for the money, then the money starts becoming more important than anything else.

I'm not saying it's easy not to charge lots of money, for a person with no morals it would be incredibly easy to make a lot of money out of pagans, and I've seen people charging hundreds of pounds for crap handfastings, and thousands for worthless training. It's heartbreaking at times.

I agree, that's why it's adviced that you only go for those people that have been recommended by someone else.

Doesn't that depend on who is doing the recommending??

yes but then its up to you to decide if there recommendations are worth listening to.
