Deuteronomy 18:11

Spiritual warfare

9 When you enter the land that the LORD your God is giving you, do not imitate the detestable ways of the nations there.

10 Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, practices divination or conjury, interprets omens, practices sorcery,

casts spells, consults a medium or spiritist, or inquires of the dead.

12 For whoever does these things is detestable to the LORD. And because of these detestable things, the LORD your God is driving out the nations before you.

13 You must be blameless before the LORD your God.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
