Question by K J: Are there laws concerning psychic services and tarot reading in Washington State? California?
Hey there,
I was wondering if there were any laws concerning psychic services, specifically tarot card reading in Washington and California. I have been reading tarot for a very long time. I was thinking I would hand out calling cards to clients and read in my own home. Is this legal?
Thanks!
Also, what about taxes?

I would contact those state local governments to find out if you need a license. I wouldn’t take the word of someone on Yahoo answers. If they are wrong, it could cause you problems.
The county or city governments are usually the ones that pass ordinances about Tarot reading. Where I live in Florida, they have changed it several times. We had to have a license at one time and now we don’t. It is only a problem if you read at psychic fairs or bookstores.
If you are only planning to read only at your home, I don’t think it will be a problem for you even if you pass out cards, not matter what the law is. But if a license is required, and you feel uncomfortable about not having one, then of course get it. In Florida, we had a background check and paid a yearly fee.
