If it is a legal profession, then can the government require certification that witches are competent, and can actually carry out what they claim to be able to do?
I live in Romania. This news was "news" back in November, when "the witchcraft law" was automatically passed by the Parliament without even discussing it because the time limit was reached (it was proposed 6 months before).
Everybody here laughed at it and I don't think people take it seriously.
On Saturday, a witch called Bratara told Realitate.net, the website
of a top TV station, that she plans to cast a spell using black
pepper and yeast to create discord in the government.
I've been seeing this all over the place lately, and I've no idea why it's news. If people are paying you money for something, then of course the government should tax it accordingly. Doesn't matter how bizarre or ineffective the service is
Indeed, and this is no different than the US. A quick search for 'fortune teller tax' actually reveals not only do such taxes exist in various local tax codes, in many jurisdictions, one must be licensed to be a fortune-teller.
