IRL 'witch' is a genderless term too. The media likes to make it seem like 'witch' is girls only, but I don't know any pagans IRL that actually draw that distinction. Wicca in particular calls both genders 'witches', and 'wizard' is more like an honorific you get for being a particularly wise witch.

My interpretation is that "witch" is more for the cooking type of magic, while "wizard" is more for the baking type. As in, a witch goes by vibes and is generally more improvisational, while a wizard is a nerd who is very exact about everything.

That about sums up the Terry Pratchett Discworld witches and wizards.

Be cool to each other. We'll welcome most occult themes, it's okay if you stray from witchcraft a bit.
