Usually, a witch. Some go by "warlock" but this is pretty rare.
The word witch is not gender-specific.
Some will use the term wizard, but some define wizard quite differently from witch.
Ask and I'm sure he'll tell you.
Merry Meet,
A male witch is called either a witch or a warlock. The word witch is not gender specific.
Blessed Be

While there are some male witches who do identify as a warlock, there are many who consider this a derogatory term. The term witch applies to all witches, male or female. Some male witches also identify as wizard or sorcerer, but this isn't official and is a matter of personal identity.
this is more true in modern times though, as warlock traditionally meant oath-breaker and was a terrible title to have, and in most circles it still has this meaning.
I agree.
This was probably a sarcastic joke, but I didn't get it at first so I wrote this.
Witches are real. Around 600 AD - 1692, witches had been hunted and executed for striking fear into others (Kinda stupid right?). From then on witches were never heard from. In the 1900s, a new era was born and Wicca, the tradition of witchcraft, was born in Europe. Then it passed over to the US in the 1990s. If you are a participant in Wicca, you are called a Wiccan. Wiccans are still called witches to this very day.
I think that warlocks and witches are two different things. I feel like witches can be good and warlocks don't have a choice. I am a young male and to give out my age and I would liked to be considered a witch. If you have an argument I would like to here what you think about it.
I think the term "warlock" applies to the extra masculine. A male witch can go either way. They are not afraid of their masculinity but they are free to embrace their femininity as well.
A warlock who disguises himself as a female would be less convincing than a witch. For a number of reasons.
New question. Is there such a thing as a female warlock?
That is an interesting question. I have thought of that myself. Theoretically, there is no reason a woman can't be a warlock as it isn't a gender-specific term. But I've never met a woman who called herself a warlock, nor have I ever heard a woman referred to as a warlock. But why not?
Warlock is a bad title. It is an oath breaker. A violator of the Rede. It is much like being called a sinner but far more severe. Warlocks are considered unworthy of the Earth mothers favor..There is no "forgiveness" available. As a male witch i get called a warlock alot and it bothers me. I try to explain but most people look at me like i am crazy.
I believe that you should go by your rank if you have them than your name I will give you 3 ex.
none of these are real names that I know of but these are some examples to help you help you out and good luck in your future

If his name's Dave, call him Dave. If it's Crispin, call him Crispin etc. You get the gist 😉
Most male practitioner's of Wicca call themselves wiccan or a witch. The term warlock is rarely used and contrary to popular belief does not mean oath breaker: not in the original Scottish definition anyway. The term wizard can be used for a male practitioner of magic but I'm not certain if wizardry has much of anything to do with the Wiccan religion.
You're right, Wizardry and Wicca are two different traditions so the term 'Wizard' would be incorrect. Witches have their own opinion on the topic of the term 'Warlock'. My opinion is that it is still the old term from the old 'Witchcraft trial' days (I have no idea what to call them).
So what's thebscottish term warlock mean? You left us hanging.
I believe wizardry has more to do with the cunning craft. Cunning Folk in Britain were often referred to as wizards. Some still practice this art today but it is rare. The term warlock in it's original Scottish usage meant a male witch. Only later in the Old English use of the word did it come to mean oath breaker. In it's simple dictionary definition it means a male witch and can be used for a male practitioner of witchcraft, although most adherents are opposed to this. The term occult magician can also be used for a male practitioner of the magical arts. But more commonly followers of Wicca regard themselves as either wiccan or witch male and female respectively.
However I do believe that just as it is empowering for female magical practitioners to claim the word witch. It is equally as important for male practitioners to embrace terms like warlock, wizard, magician or whatever seems fit.
Although nowadays many male followers of some Pagan faiths consider themselves to be wizards. Some of them perhaps male witches.
There's a few different words. Witch is gender-neutral. Warlock is usually male. Wizard
As a male wiccan I and others in our coven call ourselves witches, we deduced that Christians go by that name regardless of gender as with all other religions so why wouldnt we? however it comes to a individuals preference.
