After all, to put your money where your mouth is the epitome of taking ownership.

Honestly, I'm not quite sure what the immediate biblical perspective on this is. It does harken back to ancient days when sorcerers and warlocks would get paid to foretell the future. Maybe in that sense, King Solomon is still correct; there's nothing new under the sun.
