Sorcery:

See also Rev 9:21; 18:23. In the Sept., Exd 7:11, 22; 8:7, 18; Isa 47:9, 12. In "sorcery," the use of drugs, whether simple or potent, was generally accompanied by incantations and appeals to occult powers, with the provision of variouscharms, amulets, etc., professedly designed to keep the applicant or patient from the attention and power of demons, but actually to impress the applicant with the mysterious resources and powers of the sorcerer.

Sorcery:

"the magic art," is used in the plural in Act 8:11, "sorceries" (see SORCERER, No. 1).

Sorcery:

akin to A, No. 2, "to practice magic," Act 8:9, "used sorcery," is used as in A, No. 2, of Simon Magnus.
