Wiccans hate the term term Warlock as it translates to oath breaker or lier.

While witch originates from the word for wise or Wicca.

While I'm not a wiccan I don't understand why they use the word wizard.

That word brings up images of Gandalf and Merlin.

while warlock brings up images of a black magician who sacrifices babies to Satan.

edit- I'm a Christian but that is my thought

Technically, the "oath" a warlock has broken is the covenant with the church -- no longer a undesirable element for a non-Christian yet an excellent deal to those nonetheless contained in the church. surely it extremely is asserting that the guy *used* to be Christian and now's no longer. it is the tale with extremely an excellent form of modern-day Pagans so i do no longer think of it extremely is offensive in any respect. besides the indisputable fact that, Wicca has began utilising this be conscious to represent somebody who has broken oaths taken in a coven, which isn't at each and all the classic which capacity. yet quite the be conscious is basically used as yet another descriptor of a magic-consumer, like witch or magician, and that they have got been the two undesirable words as quickly as too. take a glance at a number of our different terminology to work out the form between what a call capacity to outsiders as against the practitioners themselves. Heathen and Pagan initially referenced the heaths and geographical area the place the "backwards" human beings lived. It grow to be like calling somebody a "hillbilly." Now they're titles taken on via human beings honoring the relationship to custom and the land those comparable human beings had. i for my area experience that warlock is a greater effectual masculine term than witch. We take on the titles we experience strongly define the terrific human beings. If a guy feels "witch" (or the different term) to be empowering for him, this is large too.

A warlock is a made up Hollywood term. All, male and female, are witches.

No. That term means something else. These days it means pretty much nothing.

A male witch is called a "Witch".

the original meaning of warlock was "oath breaker"; some wiccans don't like the connotation
