Warlock is a negative term If I remember right, it means.. oathbreaker.
Witch and Wizard are pretty much the same though...

Because I know one of each kind of warlock, and have done the research, and know not very many are successful in finding it, I only found it by right book, right time, occurance, but there are two kinds of warlocks.
the first and oldest is highly revered and honored (positivly) warriors, specifically rune warriors, that defend gates, holy sites, and relics.
the second is 'betrayer' and is of course negative, and popularly came out into common use during the Salem Witchcraft trials.
Wizard is a philisophical approach to magic, witchcraft is a religious approach to magic. Both can be either male or female, a witch is prodomanently either of the witchcraft religion, or is of the suppossed "satanic witch" which I do not agree are real witchs as real witchcraft does not believe or teach in/about satan, where-as a wizard can be a wizard occultist or no religion, or be a christian wizard, jewish wizard, witch wizard, budhist wizard, etc.
As time has gone by, the specific differences of Witch and Wizard have become relativly unimportant, and not necessary to know per say, less you want to be specific in the reason why you would choose which one to use.

I don't try to define them. I dislike labels. Have had people ask me, "Are you a witch, wiccan?" I am just me.

One of those the posted before me had a very good break down between the three.
Though many still belive that Wizard is just a title to make someone feel speical in a fluffy way, and meaning they are uneducated in the ways of witchcraft of paganism. Which unforunitly is how I feel about witch and wizard as well.
But I will bow down before the others and let them pass on their titles and belifes on account that many paths has many diffrent titles and names, much like priest, priestess, high prist, wizzard, warlock, witch, seer, Orical, partictioner, grandmaster, druid, etc.
What one word may mean to someone is very diffrent to the other. The best way to learn them all is to sit down with a RELIABLE sorce and discuss it.
