	In early modern Scots, the word came to be used as the male equivalent of [[witch]] (which can be male or female, but has historically been used predominantly for females). The term may have become associated in Scotland with male witches due to the idea that they had made pacts with ''Auld Hornie'' (the devil) and thus had betrayed the [[Christianity\|Christian]] faith and broke their baptismal vows or oaths. From this use, the word passed into Romantic literature and ultimately 20th-century popular culture.

			===Croatia===
			Jure Grando Alilović (1578–1656) was a villager from the region of Istria in modern-day Croatia who was referred to as a ''štrigon'', a local word for something resembling a vampire and a warlock.

			Johann Weikhard von Valvasor wrote about Jure Grando Alilović's life and afterlife in his 1689 book ''The Glory of the Duchy of Carniola''. The legend tells that, for 16 years after his death, Jure would arise from his grave by night and terrorize the village. After some [[exorcist\|exorcism]] prayers, one of the villagers took a saw and sawed the head off the corpse. As soon as the saw tore his skin, the vampire screamed, and blood started to flow from the cut. According to folklore, peace finally returned to the region after Jure's decapitation.

			===Chile===
			The warlocks of Chiloé (''Spanish: brujos de Chilo'') are people of the Chiloé Archipelago off the coast of Chile who are said to practice [[witchcraft]]. The warlocks are said to be able to fly using a ''macuñ'' made from the skin from a dead virgin's chest, to turn into certain animals, and to inflict harm upon other men from a distance. Their knowledge of plants and animals also enable them to brew powerful potions. They are said to be weak to salt.

			Although these warlocks may have been simply legendary persons, in 1880, Chilean authorities initiated a series of trials against accused warlocks believed to rule the archipelago through a secret society.

A '''warlock''' is a male practitioner of [[witchcraft]].

==Etymology and terminology==
The most commonly accepted etymology derives warlock from the Old English ƿǣrloga, which meant "breaker of oaths" or "deceiver," and was given special application to [[the Devil]] around 1000 AD.

In early modern Scots, the word came to be used as the male equivalent of [[witch]] (which can be male or female, but has historically been used predominantly for females). The term may have become associated in Scotland with male witches due to the idea that they had made pacts with ''Auld Hornie'' (the devil) and thus had betrayed the [[Christianity|Christian]] faith and broke their baptismal vows or oaths. From this use, the word passed into Romantic literature and ultimately 20th-century popular culture.
