COWAN IS A NON-WITCH

Cowan is the term for a non-witch. That is to say for a person who has not been initiated into the craft is a Cowan.

In fact the word is an old Scottish term for a mason who has learnt the trade but not served an apprenticeship. A Cowan may be invited to attend sabbats but are usually not allowed to attend circles or esbats.

The term does not seem to be used much these days in Witch circles. The term Cowan was often used in the past in a very derogatory manner. The term is sometimes used in Masonic rituals.
