In the realm of witchcraft and the supernatural, the term "witch" is commonly associated with women. However, there is a lesser-known term that refers to a male practitioner of witchcraft: warlock. Although often used interchangeably with "witch," the designation for a male witch is specifically "warlock." Traditionally, the term warlock was used to describe those who were believed to practice dark or malevolent magic. However, in modern times, the term has taken on a more general meaning to indicate any male practitioner of witchcraft, regardless of the type of magic they practice. It is important to note that not all male witches identify as warlocks, and some may prefer to simply be called witches.
