“Nor, for that matter have I ever known a male witch to call himself a warlock. Indeed, one commented that doing so was a sure mark of a fake.”

Most of the ones I know don’t call themselves anything. They will usually say that they are a practitioner of XYZ --- Satanism, Demonics, etc. Some call themselves Satanists or Wiccians.

I don’t, as far as I know, know any Satanists.

Either your association with those people is coloring your perception of the Harry Potter stuff, or my *lack* of similar association is coloring mine (and I grew up in New Orleans, a place notorious for its resident assortment of voodoo practitioners, tarot card readers and other fruitcakes). Where the heck *do* you reside, anyway?

Geez, where are you hanging out?? I've never met a Wiccian, Satanist or "Demonic" in my life.
