witch/warlocks

You have to keep in mind that before the last century or less, witches and wizards hid their identities and their practice for their own, and their family's safety, because they were hunted down and killed. You can find who the most famous witch or wizard is, but we can never know who the most powerful was.

I am the most powerful of all time! Mwahahaha!

(Surely I am not the only one who wanted to do that just because)

I agree. FaceofBo are greatest Warlock of all the times. ;-)

Thefaceofbo is actually a witch.. Just throwing that out there. :)

That would depend entirely upon the definitions your using, and the age of the definition. I was just going by the one most seem to associate the word "Warlock" with; a man who practices witchcraft. :-P

lol You kids crack me up. I personally go by witch because my in my practice a warlock is actually an oath breaker. But I can understand the Hollywood jab since it is obvious I am no Merlin. ;)

@ DeathLancer i don't know of a witch in California [i'm sure there are] but i thought of Laura Cabot the 'official witch of Salem'. doubt that's who you're talking about though.

I am a genderqueer person and was wondering what should I id my self as a witch or a warlock

You would still be considered a Witch if you practice witchcraft.

The term "Warlock" comes from the Anglo-Saxon word "waerloga" meaning "oathbreaker". It is used by Hollywood, fantasy writers, and a few in it for the shock value, but it is not a term that is used to refer to oneself by any serious practitioners of witchcraft that I'm aware of.

The word "witch" comes from the Anglo-Saxon as well where a "wicca" was a male witch and a "wicce" was a female witch. So the same root for both male and female witches. Whether one is gender-queer is immaterial. One's body is either male or female and hence the name of "witch" still applies.

A true witch or wizard if you want to call them that would tell you that power is only an opinion of a person. A word. An ego word at that. Because no matter how many spells you know, how much umph you can put into a work there is always ALWAYS someone out there who can do it better and with more umph then you. We all have our skills and we all have things that we are good at that others might not be. So to say that one is more powerful then another in anything is only a figmant of our imagination.
