Closed Ban the sale of goods and services relating to tarot and spiritual readings

Closed on

We believe people involved in this industry are exploiting vulnerable people out of money, and that the Government should ban the sale of all goods and services relating to tarot and spiritual reading.

There is no scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of tarot or spiritual reading, and many practitioners of spiritual readings use tactics such as 'cold reading' and 'hot reading' to inform the advice or predictions they offer clients.

We believe these practices are used to take advantage of people who are often vulnerable due to losing a loved one or some other life event.
