The Law
In Maryland, demanding compensation to forecast someone's future via palmistry, tarot, or astrology was long considered a form of fraud. Lawmakers in the 19th century drafted these statutes to protect gullible citizens from traveling charlatans. Even today, many jurisdictions still classify paid fortune-telling as a misdemeanor unless done strictly for entertainment purposes.
