The Wiccan use of the term "witch" to describe a practitioner of the Wicca belief created a false association of Wicca with Satanism, based on the fact that Christians used the word "witch" to refer to one who has made a pact with Satan in exchange for supernatural powers.
In actuality, Wicca is similar to druidism. The Wicca faith is based heavily around nature.
To answer your question, if you were asking whether Wiccans were Satanists, the answer is no. If you were asking whether "Wiccans" and "Witches" referred to the same thing, the answer is yes.
Also, if you're further interested in Wicca,Wikipedia is a fine source of information (as always).
