Means oathbreaker. Basically, from what I remember, it's anyone that uses magic for harm or gain.

In Wicca, a witch is male and female; Warlock....well, that has a very negative connection. More or less means Oathbreaker.

Ah, so it goes back to the original context of the word.

Yup.

Well what about Witch? I know there are good witches (

), but you can have bad witches, right?
Am I totally misusing the word by calling Dag'rema a witch?

Depends on the context. For Wiccans, witch just means a practitioner of the religion, iirc. For the rest of the world (Christians mostly, especially a few hundred years ago) a witch was anyone who used dark magic and consorted with the devil.

Not in Wicca; if you harm any, you aren't one anymore, you are heading for Warlock territory, whether you are male or female. Dag is a word that rhymes with witch though.

Edit: Also, after examining
the etymology
, it would appear that the word just comes from the Old English for "Wizard" or "Sorcerer," so, given the history of the word in the last 400 years or so, I don't think it would be inappropriate to call her that.

If you can, I'd recommend reading some of Dawkins literature, especially The God Delusion. That made me feel a lot more secure in my non-belief.
