BECK LAWRENCE | PRACTICING WITCH & PROPRIETOR | Live Interview | FIGHTING BACK AGAINST ARCHAIC LAW!

Beck Lawrence owns and operates the Serpent's Key Shoppe and Sanctuary in Hanover, PA. Having practiced witchcraft since their teenage years, Beck is proud to offer an inclusive space filled with sustainably sourced metaphysical items, and art from local artisans. With various products, events, and services to offer, The Serpent's Key is committed to being a resource to the witchy community in southern Pennsylvania.

Beck Lawrence went viral in Fall 2023 after being warned by Hanover’s police chief that they could face charges over an arcane law from 1861 outlawing fortune telling for profit in Pennsylvania.

The Hanover Police chief saw Lawrence’s tarot shop — billed online as a “witchery and apothecary” — featured in a local magazine and visited the business to inform Lawrence that offering tarot readings was illegal, even though Lawrence has a sign that states “for entertainment purposes only” displayed prominently in the shop.

To save their business and insulate themselves from further legal trouble, Lawrence has sued both the police chief and the Borough of Hanover, challenging the law's constitutionality by arguing it violates their First and Fourth Amendment rights.
