IS IT TRUE CLERGY MEMBERS ARE CALLED WARLOCKS AND WITCHES?​
​
Yes. And unapologetically so.
​​
Dismissing this with arguments like "that’s not how we see or use the word" misses the point entirely. Such claims ignore a vast wealth of historical evidence. Relying on modern definitions while ignoring the past only misleads future generations, and relying on sources that had built all their foundations on false information is an irresponsible approach to history.
​
To understand the truth, we look to historical records, starting with this definitive source from the 18th century.

Quotation: ​
​
“Warlock, in Scotland is applied to a man whom the vulgar suppose to be conversant with spirits,
As a woman who carries on the same commerce is called a witch.”
​
​Before the much later 1800s, no text gave an actual etymology of either titles, just loose associations irrelevant of the meaning of the words themselves. That was not the interest of particular writers or authors and their intentions. In fact, all modern etymology for both is based entirely on those fallacies that invented the claim Warlock from Warlog means Oath Breaker and Witch from Wicce meant Wicked One in the more generalized claims. Neither are true. The etymology and claims made will be challenged in detail HERE.
