You'll find that this place moves very slowly, and almost not at all on Sundays. It may take a while, but you'll get used to it.

In my reserved opinion the term warlock is just a male terminology for the male practitioner of witchcraft but if it is that important to you it origionates from a word in the gaulish language: varloch which roughly translated means spiritual medium.

I found a nice page with several meanings for warlock listed. Here is the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warlock and here is a little snippet from there:
Members of the Wiccan religion consider the word an insult. It is said that the word itself comes from a Scottish word meaning "oathbreaker" or "liar". However, one source suggests that the word may come from the Old Norse Vard-lokkur, "caller of spirits".

The origin of the word warlock, may be found in the Old English 'wærloga' which means "one that breaks faith" or "the devil". (dictionary etymology).

A highly speculative etymology interprets 'wærloga' as 'the man of the logs' alluding to the small pieces of wood the Anglo-Saxon and Scandinavian priests and wise men used to divine by means of the runes. This etymology seems to have been created to support neopagan beliefs about the past, inasmuch as warlock then appears to be a slang word of Christian coinage pejoratively used for those who remained Pagan and practising the art of the runes. However, its dependence upon sarcastic Christians referring to small pieces of wood as 'logs' makes it extremely unlikely, especially since the etymological roots of 'log' are believed to refer to felled trees or equally massive objects.

Gallowglass ... that's quite a name I've never heard before. Different.
You're a warlock? Just curious ... What have you experienced in your lifetime? See any ghosts, demons or angels? Do you cast spells and did anything work for you?
I apologise for sounding so nosey and rude. I'm Invoke. It's nice to meet you and welcome to the board!
