Rev. Don discusses both customary and unusual uses of the word "Warlock" in answer to a question from IntelligenceAgent1. See all of Rev. Don's Vlogs at www.witchschool.com/page/rev-don-lewis-vlog
i have seen it as being a word for meaning a male witch and that of being a traitor, ofcourse i think the latter came much later and just as the word witch and witchcraft have beeen blackened i also think that the word warlock has too.
but then again i identify as a magus or magister but will also use witch, but i will also use the word witchcraft to identify what i practice much like many of the first generation of the revival would use, or of the wica, old religion and other names.
If you need to know where to find the etymology of "warlock", look at the online etymology dictionary.
"O.E. wærloga "traitor, liar, enemy," from wær "faith, a compact" (cf. O.H.G. wara "truth," O.N. varar "solemn promise, vow;" see very; cf. also Varangian) + agent noun related to leogan "to lie" (see lie (v.1)). Original primary sense seems to have been "oath-breaker;" given special application to the devil (c.1000), but also used of giants and cannibals.
@camcamey I mean no disrespect by this, but if I understood your question correctly....I think you may need to seek professional help. There's no such thing as "fire spells." Things like that only exist in Harry Potter.

What does some one need to do in order to get "warlocked" in the modern Salem community? What's the process of warlocking them? Is there paper work?

I hate the word "warlock." There are a lot of terms that this community could do without, and that's at the top of my list.
