WHAT DOES COWAN MEAN?
Cowan is a term generally used to refer to a non-magickal person. Think ‘muggle’ from Harry Potter. Originally, it was used to mean someone who practiced masonry without proper training or apprenticeship. It’s connotations include coward, pretender, and interloper. As you can see, it isn’t a terribly nice word, and most Pagans I know refuse to use it as it is seen as quite derogatory.
