1 Not-So-Fun Fact Learned Today
I want one of the blue raspberry ice cups we have in the freezer. But it’s not a good choice with it being minutes to midnight right now. So I shall refrain this time.
Did you know that reading tarot for money is illegal as it falls under fucking vagrancy laws in Wisconsin?? I sure as hell didn’t. I mean, I always forewarn and forearm anyone I give a reading to that the cards don’t tell you anything you don’t already know. And that I am not a psychic, not your mama or your therapist, and to take everything I say with a grain of salt and optional shot of tequila.
But yeah, it’s crazy to me that:
A) vagrancy is illegal
B) tarot card and/or fortune telling in general could made illegal
C) that it’s a Class C misdemeanor if you’re arrested for it??
According to the laws rambled off the Wisconsin.gov site:
947.02 Vagrancy. Any of the following are vagrants and are guilty of a Class C misdemeanor:
(1) A person, with the physical ability to work, who is without lawful means of support and does not seek employment; or
(3) A prostitute who loiters on the streets or in a place where intoxicating liquors are sold, or a person who, in public, solicits another to commit a crime against sexual morality; or
(4) A person known to be a professional gambler or known as a frequenter of gambling places or who derives part of his or her support from begging or as a fortune teller or similar impostor.
History: 1977 c. 173; 1993 a. 486; 1999 a. 83.
I wonder if doing tarot readings so I could buy food for lunch for myself in high school (sophomore, junior, and most of senior year) would have been considered likewise illegal?
Anyway, I’m for book, meds, and bed.
Take your meds, folks!
