"Magic" is not a religion or a belief system. Paganism and Wicca are considered religions by many.
The Bible explicitly states that magic and sorcery are bad, so I wouldn't bring that up if you are making a case that the Bible somehow validates magic.
As for Druids being the first to call themselves Christians, you are now 0 for 3 here. Druids were not the first. Druids in Ireland were converted around 500 AD--- a looong time after Christ died.
Factual inaccuracies in your question aside, worship of nature and the supernatural and the role that "magic" and spells play in that worship has a long history. Organized worship of nature deities is recognized as a religion in the US.
Will it ever be as accepted as Christianity? Unlikely, unless practitioners of these belief systems attract more followers and establish a much higher profile.

the real question is does it really matter? i know a buch of people will say it does but i don think so. As long a person is "good" (meaning the dont kill, hurt others... stuff like that) the the peron will go to heaven. Magic? i wouldnt call it christianity, or even a religion. Sry, but i think of it as more of a hmmm... lifestyle or hobby. I only sat this because magic has nothing really to do w/ a life after death... if there is and i dont know about it then yers... i guess its a religion, but i would still say no to the christianity idea just because magic is not a focus in that religion.

The idea of magic is no more ridiculous that Christianity or any other religion when you think about it. I think that most people have come to accept that there is no truth in most religious beliefs, but they still practice the traditions and live by the morals of their religion.

Even a spell checker could not make anything of what asker has written.
No, the bible is quite clear about magic and Christians are to have nothing to do with magic or its practitioners
Nowadays magic is just for fun and we all know it is tricks and not real but in ancient times people believed in magic and magic spells
Exodus 22:18 in 19 English translations of the Bible:
Various Biblical translations render this verse as:
1. American Standard Version "Thou shalt not suffer a sorceress to live."
2. The Answer: Put to death any woman who does evil magic.
3. Amplified Bible: You shall not allow a woman to live who practices sorcery.
4. Good News Version: Put to death any woman who practices magic.
5. James Moffatt Translation: You shall not allow any sorceress to live.
6. Jerusalem Bible: You shall not allow a sorceress to live.
7. King James Version: Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
8. Living Bible: A sorceress shall be put to death.
9. Modern Language Bible: Allow no sorceress to live.
10. Revised English Bible: You must not allow a witch to live.
Receiving the Holy Ghost has nothing to do with magic - reads Acts for yourself:

It is in the Bible, but not as a practice by those who fear God.
And the pagans at Antioch were the first to call themselves Christians. (Acts 11:26 & 26:28)
Better study your B-I-B-L-E a little more.

the whole point of christianity was to suppress that sort of thing- but it does have very deep roots in the ancient esoteric traditions.
