From the Urban Dictionary:
 
 Despite modern neo-Pagan offense taken by some at the word, "warlock" has for centuries simply meant "male witch" in common English usage. Claims that the word originates solely from an old word for "traitor" are erroneus. In extant Medieval records, male witches are often called "warlock" by Christian persecutors and judges. If one of its' meanings is indeed "traitor", then it is reasonable to assume that oaths broken were Christian oaths, and that "warlocks" were perceived as being "traitors" to Christian values and society.

Many modern day male witches are reclaiming "warlock" as a positive word of power and ancient imagery, even as the word "witch" was reclaimed in years past and recast in a rightfully positive light. These men know that many who make sweeping statements about witchcraft speak only for their particular coven or tradition and not for all, despite assertions to the contrary.
Several ancient words from Scandinavia and the British Isles are very plausible as being origins for the word "warlock". The Norse "Vargrliker" (one who takes on or assumes a wolf's body) and "vardlokker" (an enchanter, singer of spells or caller of spirits) are two such examples. The Old English word "waerloga" does mean "oath-breaker", but ironically, the Scottish version of the word (which anti-warlock neo-Pagans like to tout as their reason for disliking the word in the first place) does NOT. It means "cunning man" or male witch.

It's been a long, long time since I posted anything in this blog ao I thought I would post a bit about my Independance day.

   Spent it here in Cape May, (haven't been to the campground much this year). A couple of months ago I purchased a spa and have been having a great time at my place.

 Anyway, this 4th was a lot of fun. I went to the Wildwood boardwalk with my friend Bill and my guest Eric....Eric Violette is the guy in the free credit report commercials, ya know "dressed like a pirate in this restaurant"...he came down from Montreal and spent some time here with me before his trip down south...Gotta tell you, you couldn't find a more wonderful and genuine person than Eric...he was a gracious guest. I hope that his career soars, couldn't happen to a better guy! He's gonna try to stop here again on his way back...I hope so, we all had fun.

      Anyway, that's a little of what's been happening...I guess i'll try to write in here once in a while....

I can't believe that the last time I updated this blog was in May! Here it is the end of October and camp is closing...I am headed up there probably after the weekend to shut the water down and close the place for the winter...Neither one of us went up there that much this summer....however we did manage to get some needed repairs done to the place.

    I've been in a relatively good mood most of the summer, had a three day hospital stay in July (asthma again) and then another emergency visit on October 1st. Seems to be under control now, and hopefully I won't have to go again for a while....I did manage to purchase a nebulizer for home so I can give myself breathing treatments when needed...but at this point I haven't had to even use an inhaler in weeks. 

    I was featured in an article in Out In NJ magazine this month...!!! THat was a highlight!

    Love life is non-existant as usual...I don't care.

                              Maybe I'll do another update soon....

Thhe Campground opened this week and I finally made it up today to begin cleaning and readying the place for the summer. The ride up was uneventful a little slow traffic on the Northeast extention, but nothing too terribly awful. THe place was actually in great shape when I got here. I spent most of the day and into the early evening hours cleaning the interior. Very little sign of winter vermin...one mouse and for the first timw a bat! At thos point I have 95% of the inside done and have started a bit on raking some of the winter blown leaves up...tomorrow I will try to get as much of the outside work done as I can...I'm exhausted already!

This evening I worked Keen for a bit and it was fairly busy so I may go back to it, if I don't fall asleep first.

I'm glad to be back at camp...last season I wasn't very happy with it here, but this year looks like it's gonna be a lot better...well at least my attitude will be hopefully.

More  later..........
