Bible Commentary for Exodus 22:18 

Wesley's Notes for Exodus 22:18

22:18 Witchcraft not only gives that honour to The Devil which is due to God alone, but bids defiance to the divine providence, wages war with God's government, puts His work into The Devil's hand expecting him to do good and evil. 

By our law, consulting, covenanting with, invocating or employing any evil spirit to any intent whatever, and exercising any enchantment, charm, or sorcery, whereby hurt shall be done to any person, is made felony, without benefit of clergy; also pretending to tell where goods lost or stolen may be found, is an iniquity punishable by the judge, and the second offence with death. 

This was the case in former times. But we are wiser than our fore - fathers. We believe, no witch ever did live! 

At least, not for these thousand years.
