The word "Warlock" actually means Oath breaker or deceiver, and is not a commonly used term in Paganism. The opposite of Warlock is commonly accepted to be Witch. However, a witch is simply a practitioner of Magick, or a wise one, and the term applies to both genders.
Witch can be used to describe the religion of either gender. Both males and females are called witches. There is no opposite, although "warlock" is sometimes used.

When addressing either male or female it is still Witch. The word Warlock translates to "oathbreaker". If you call a male Witch a warlock, he's going to get angry at you. The word Warlock was made popular by movies and media. (There is no such thing as a "warlock"). It sounds very mysterious and magical and makes for good movies. *shrug* As usual, Hollywoods poetic license I suppose.Another answer* WITCH is genderless- it applies to all who practise the craft. Also the term Warlock, if it is used, would refer to an alchemist. An old form of magic and science that was blended together and studied the natural laws of the planet and nature and ways to change one thing (lead) into another (gold). Now days warlock isn't really used anymore and so the word Witch is used for both genders and is universally excepted.There is no gender for the term Witch. Both male and female the word Witch is used.The words Warlock or Wizard have different meanings than the word Witch means.
Magus.
The noun 'warlock' is a common gender noun, a word for a male or a female. The original meaning of the word "warlock" was "oath breaker" or "one who has broken their oath with God" It is from the middle ages and referred to anyone male or female, (it also is a non-gender specific word) who practiced any form of paganism. At the time the Catholic church was on a mission to eradicate paganism, and in their attempts they demonized the gods of paganism and claimed the practitioners had "made a pact with the devil", hence the term "oath breaker". The noun 'witch' is also a common gender noun, a word for a male or a female. Contrary to the popular fiction and fantasy works, there is NO masculine word for witch. Writers of fiction can use any word as it suits their storyline.
