Excellent question, AngelicTina..wish more people would think of it before they "rant".
Anyway, yes..historically speaking the bible originally referred to "sorcery" which was "evil" in both intent and results. The term "witch" was substituted much later, after the official church was established.
Further references were also later inserted to demonstrate that "God" was on Aarons side. This can be shown to have been added for political reasons, as it "demonstrated" the church protecting the idea that Aarons sons were the only "true" priests.
The etymology of translations is a true nightmare, indeed. Many of the phrases and words make leaps across languages that have been accepted over time, but truly can't be absolute.
Based on this, and much more, "magick" is NOT strictly forbidden in your faith. I hope this helps.
