Sorcerer

From the Latin sortiarius, one who casts lots, or one who tells the lot of others.

In Dan 2:2 it is the rendering of the Hebrew mekhashphim, i.e., mutterers, men who professed to have power with evil spirits. The practice of sorcery exposed to severest punishment (Mal 3:5; Rev 21:8; 22:15).
