Just as there were no male Furies or harpies, there is no masculine word that exactly equates to witch. We don’t picture a warlock with warts, green skin, and chin hairs, wearing a pointed hat and flying around on a broom. We don’t see him stirring a bubbling cauldron in Macbeth and eating children in Grimms’ Fairy Tales. “Wizard” brings up images of tall, stately, powerful men with shining white beards, like Gandalf or Dumbledore.
