sorry, I don't know of any trad that uses warlock in a positive manner. Only non Wiicans would use this term.

Sorry, Bibliophile, but the original Pagans didn't even speak English, so dont get too glorified on what we cant call ourself

Warlocks are a bit of a giggle really, not met one I could take seriously yet.

Scoundral: most Wiccans are Pagans but no Pagans (at least not the original ones) were Wiccans. Wicca, as a religion, began with Scott Gardener in the late 1950's. And I have NEVER heard of any Wiccan refer to a male participant as a warlock... at least not without jest.

Oops! I gave a misnomer for Mr. Gardener's given name. It's not Scott, but Gerald.

The word "warlock" was used by the early English covens to describe someone who had revealed the coven's (or a covenmate's) secrets - or merely their true names (since being a witch even now can bring about persecution by others). The person was cast out of the coven and called a "warlock" which means "oath-breaker" (meaning he/she broke the oaths he/she swore to keep certain coven information secret).
