We talk about 'witchcraft' and we think of old women with pointed hats. That is our cultural definition of a witch. If you said that a Buddhist trying to divine the future was witchcraft then people would laugh at you. It is not a European concept of witchcraft but I think it could be argued that it is "wrong".
When the Bible talks about witchcraft I highly doubt it meant pointed hats and broomsticks. There has to be an underlying theory of some sort to define it. As already mentioned with could be communicating with the dead and/or spirits or trying to alter the world around you in a unconventional, "magic" way.
