Modern-day witches - of which there are a number in the U.S. - aren't immune from human silliness.
Most authentic witches and pagans in the U.S. do -not- use the term "warlock" in reference to male witches. Male witches are simply - witches.
In the pagan community around me, "warlock" is actually considered an inappropriate term and somewhat insulting.
Witchcraft <which does not involve Satanism or cults or sacrifices....you may find Satanists at a pagan event like you would anywhere, but they aren't witches> is a valid religion but news articles like this one put a bad light on it.
Yes, I'm pagan
ok...suppose that's all we're going to be able to discuss with that....
