Despite modern neo-Pagan offense taken by some at the word, [warlock] has for centuries simply meant male witch in common English usage. Claims that the word originates solely from an old word for traitor are erroneus. In [extant] Medieval records, male [witches] are often called warlock by Christian persecutors and judges. If one of its meanings is indeed traitor, then it is reasonable to assume that oaths broken were Christian oaths, and that [warlocks] were perceived as being [traitors] to Christian values and society.
Many modern day male witches are reclaiming warlock as a positive word of power and ancient imagery, even as the word witch was reclaimed in years past and recast in a rightfully positive light. These men know that many who make sweeping statements about witchcraft speak only for their particular [coven] or tradition and not for all, despite assertions to the contrary. -
