I thought some questions  would e good and interesting, as we  do not, at least I do not see  a lot of discussion on Wizardry. No not talking Harry Potter either in case   some would think lols...

1) What  makes a true  Wizard?

2) What is some of the history, where can Wizardry  in the old world be found?

3) According to somethings I have read, Wizards are only men, is this true or not, why or why not?

4) Is there a difference in Warlock and Wizard, and if so what?

Thank you

Blessed be

Lady Hekate-  who may add more questions later lols:)

LOLs   I  am familar  or used to be with one  who was but lost  touch, named Celtic Wizard. Just thought make for interesting discussion and sharing here

Thoughtt maybe others as well would want to know some truth on this matter

The term wizard is coined from the word “wyzard” I forget the original  language it is from but is  meant “wise”. I coulis so be wrong, but , I do recall Celtic Wizard mentioning this.

wiz·ard

[wiz-erd] noun
 
1. a person who practices magic;  magician or sorcerer.
 
2. a conjurer or juggler.
 
3. a person of amazing skill or accomplishment: a wizard at chemistry.
 

Origin:
1400–50; late Middle English wisard. See wise , -ard

From that, I'd have to say "wizard" is a male form for "witch".

Warlock is an old Scottish term for "traitor".  Warlocks were later identified with wizards because wizards were "traitors to god", and with the idea of the Divine Right of Kings, since the king was god's representative, they were also traitors to the crown. 

The modern conception of a warlock came about when witchcraft became more legal and mainstream, as defining a man who only practices "black magic".
