 In contrast with this plural use of the word , in a 1954 article written by Arnold Field , a reporter for the Daily <unk> , Gardner had apparently explained to him that " there are man and woman witches . Each is called a <unk> . " This quote offers the only piece of evidence that Gardner also referred to Pagan Witches individually as a <unk> . It is possible that Field misunderstood what Gardner was saying by not <unk> Wica , and that therefore Gardner might have never used Wica in a singular sense .
