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.
