Is ta WIZZARD the same as a WARLOCK?

Answer 1

In my many years in the crafts I have met few who would call themselves Wizards. It appears to be more popular amongst fiction writers than those who work in Magick or the Crafts. To be called a Warlock is to be insulted to a great degree as that is stating you are an Oath breaker. The lowest of peoples are those who break an Oath. There are many Warlocks in our present Government as they made an oath to the people and Constitution, not their political party or President.

Answer 2

A wizard is a male magic user of a specific type. He uses a very structured, intellectual approach, and is typically celibate. Some traditions refer to females following this style as witch. Other traditions hold that a witch can be male or female. These traditions describe practitioners as following an earth based practice that is very much a part of the real world. Healing, protection and the well being of crops and livestock are covered, as well as there often being a religious flavor to the practice.

The commonly accepted etymology derives warlock from the Old English wǣrloga meaning deceiver, or "oathbreaker". A derivation from the Old Norse varð-lokkur, "caller of spirits" has also been suggested, however the Oxford English Dictionary considers this etymology inadmissible. In modern practice, warlock is a derogatory term, used to refer to someone who has proven to be an untrustworthy.

Answer 3

Both wizzard and warlock are very demeaning terms if you are speaking to a person who practices Wicca. In older english wizzard ment Traitor and warlock ment a tiwster of the truth. when the witch hunts in brittian were happening those who infiltrated wiccan covens were called those two words. In essence they are both the same.

Answer 4

No. The word Warlock actually stems from some word meaning traitor, if I remember correctly. At any rate, it has more negative connotations to it.

Answer 5

Yes, they are both imaginary.

Although in some stories, they use 2 disticnt forms of magic. Generally a warlock is a male witch and a wizard is a male magic user... a subtle difference that depends on the story teller.
