Agreed. But if you go to a tarot reading for purposes of entertainment (without deceptive promises from the practitioner), or to get general life advice and a supportive ear, absolutely nothing wrong with that.

The "magic" is just a veneer over the grift, and the entertainment aspect is a start of the sales funnel. That's why legitimate therapists, etc have professional associations and standards of ethics.
