I’m kinda suprised there aren’t more Law repealeds in Europe.

There must be a lot of loopholes in the definition of „fortune-telling“, because I’ve seen a fair number of permanent „psychic adviser“ operations here in Pennsylvania over the years. Apparently there’s been a repeal bill in our legislature since May. Not quite sure they have the most influential constituency, though.

Fortune telling is generally illegal not for superstition reasons. But to protect people from scammers đ

I like how it’s illegal in Cyrenaica and the Fezzan but not Tripolitania.

How about ‚fortune-telling and magic without paying tax are illegal‘?

Tbh the term ‚witchcraft‘ doesn’t really fit for where I’m from. It’s more accurate to say its shamanism and the type of magic used is closer to voodoo magic rather than witchcraft..

Pretending to be a witch and accusing someone of being a witch is illegal? Or is it pretending to be a witch and accusing someone of being a witch are both illegal. Because one makes sense and the other is…specific.Â

Some years ago (like the early Eighties), some sketchy entrepreneur rented the Edmonton Coliseum (home of the Oilers) and organized a âpsychic fairâ. Lots of pyramid sellers (it was that era) crystal vendors, astrologers, and so on.
On the second day, the Edmonton Police arrived and arrested all the fortune tellers, Tarot readers and crystal ball gazers, who made up about a third of the vendors. Seems Edmonton had an ordinance dating back to the Thirties, forbidding the telling of fortunes for money.
None of them saw that coming.
But it gets better: on the morning of the third and last day of the convention, all the vendors were locked out because it had been discovered that the organizers had bounced their rental cheque to the city, taken the vendorsâ cash and two days of gate receipts,and skipped town. Nobody saw *that* coming either.
It took several weeks for many of them to get their tents, tables, dividers and stock returned by the city.

It is not directly a law, but I seem to recall that the use of voodoo (particularly the Juju ritual) by Nigerian prostitution networks to force women into prostitution has been considered by the courts as an aggravating circumstance in France.
