Witchcraft in Galatians 5

Galatians 5 [19] Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, [20] Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, [21] Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Witchcraft in this sense has more to do with drugs and sometimes trying to divine the past, present, future or contact with spirits, through its mind altering effects. This is a work of the flesh in line with Eve’s “something to make one wise” by eating “the fruit” in the Genesis fall account. Can be said to be the first act of witchcraft in the bible.
