At Mainely Mystics, we believe deeply in the healing, guidance, and insight that spiritual services provide. Tarot readings, energy work, intuitive coaching, and spiritual mentorship aren’t just “extras” or “luxuries” for many people—they’re essential tools for self-awareness, emotional healing, and personal growth.
Yet there’s a persistent cultural idea that spiritual work should be free, or that charging for it somehow cheapens its integrity. We want to talk openly about why it’s not only fair but necessary to charge for the services we offer.
1. Energy Exchange is Sacred
In many spiritual traditions, there’s a core understanding that value must flow both ways. When someone receives guidance or healing, they’re receiving energy, time, and wisdom from the practitioner. Offering payment is not just a mundane transaction—it’s an energetic exchange that honors the work.
When spiritual work is given away for free, it can create imbalance. Both giver and receiver benefit when there’s a clear, mutual investment in the process.
2. Professional Training and Experience Have Value
Just like any profession, quality spiritual work takes years of study, practice, and personal development. Tarot readers, energy workers, and spiritual coaches often invest in:
Classes, certifications, and ongoing education Supervision or mentorship Personal healing to ensure they can hold space ethically
When you pay for a reading or session, you’re not just paying for an hour of someone’s time. You’re paying for the depth of knowledge and skill they bring to help you.
3. Time and Labor Deserve Respect
Spiritual professionals are small business owners. Beyond actual session time, there’s preparation, follow-up, record-keeping, marketing, and all the responsibilities of running a practice. Like any other professional, spiritual workers need to pay rent, buy groceries, support families, and cover business expenses.
When you pay fairly, you allow spiritual workers to sustain their calling and be there for their clients long-term.
4. Commitment from the Client
Payment can also deepen the client’s own commitment to the work. Investing financially is a way of saying, I value this, and I’m ready to show up fully. People often take free sessions less seriously, or dismiss the guidance they receive. A fair price underscores that this work has real, tangible value.
5. Accessibility Can Still Be Ethical
Charging fairly doesn’t mean ignoring accessibility. At Mainely Mystics, we believe in balance: offering sliding-scale options when possible, free community events, or sharing free content (like this blog!) to reach people who can’t afford sessions.
But keeping our paid services at sustainable prices allows us to keep serving everyone—instead of burning out or shutting our doors.
6. Healing and Spiritual Work Is Real Work
Our society has no problem paying:
Doctors and therapists for healing the body and mind Personal trainers for supporting physical goals Consultants for giving expert advice
Spiritual professionals do real, often emotionally intensive work to support people through crisis, grief, transformation, and growth. Recognizing this as valid labor—worthy of fair compensation—is part of valuing spiritual well-being as a whole.
Final Thoughts
At Mainely Mystics, we believe spiritual work changes lives. We also believe in respecting ourselves and our clients enough to name its true value. Charging for our services is not greed—it’s respect. It’s sustainability. It’s honoring the sacred exchange that makes genuine spiritual connection possible.
When you invest in spiritual work, you’re not just buying a service—you’re entering into a partnership of trust, growth, and transformation.
