Tarot on Trial, Ice Cream Trails & Energy Saving Tips for Summer
About this episode
The episode discusses a legal challenge against a Pennsylvania law on tarot readings, the Cumberland Valley Ice Cream Trail, and energy-saving tips for summer.
Beck Ravenswood, owner of The Serpent's Key Shoppe and Sanctuary in Hanover, Pennsylvania, is challenging a state law that criminalizes paid tarot readings after being threatened with arrest by Hanover Borough Police in October 2023, arguing that the law unfairly targets spiritual practices such as tarot, palm reading, and astrology. Ravenswood will discuss their personal experience, the ongoing lawsuit to overturn Pennsylvania's 1861 fortune-telling statute, and recent legal developments as the case moves forward in court. Aaron Jumper joins us to discuss the Cumberland Valley Ice Cream Trail, a popular summer attraction that connects visitors with local ice cream shops across the region while offering prizes, special promotions, and unique flavors to discover. We'll talk about what's new on the trail since 2023, any new participating shops, National Ice Cream Day celebrations, the rewards available to trail participants, and some of the must-try ice cream flavors this season.
