Michael Newton, "Raising Hell: An Encyclopedia of Devil Worship and Satanic Crime" Avon, 1993;

entries in his Glossary of interest telling his understanding of these aspects include:

Book of Shadows -- Occult diary of an individual or coven, recording "recipes" for spells and notations of rituals performed; one of the nine tools of magic.

Flamen -- Male leader of a wicca coven.

Flamenca -- Female leader of a wicca coven.

Pentagram -- Five-pointed star, sometimes inscribed within magic circles. "Upright" pentagrams are understood to denote "white" magic, while inverted stars -- with one point downward -- signify black magic or Satanism.

Warlock -- Misnomer for a male practitioner of witchcraft, used by those who fail to recognize that 'witch' is the proper term for both sexes.
