As the Reformation was in the 16th century and Wicca didn't come into existence until the early twentieth century. There were no Wiccans to be treated in any manner.
As for how witches (real and just those accused of being) were treated at the time… The history books are full of references to persecution, prosecution and death.

How were suspected witches treated in Elizabethan times?
They were burned on the stake, or they would be dunked in water. If they survived, the people would believe that they saved themselves and they would burn on a stake. If they drowned they would be found innocent. It wasn't much of a sensible way to catch witches, because if you were innocent, you would be dead anyway :(
How were witches treated in America in the 1600?
No one was living in America in 1600, but Native Americans. Our first colonies didn't start until 1603 and Plymouth wasn't until 1620. The Salem witch hunts didn't happen until much later and the people who did try and convict the "witches" killed most of them through various means.
Why were the witches that were prosecuted at the Salem witch trails really witches?
There is no such thing as witches and spells so just on that fact alone they couldn't have been witches. Extensive research as been done on the people and the events in Salem and the data shows that the people accused were on the fringes of the society for that time/place. Several of the women were widows or single for one reason or another and were considered "odd" or strange. People who were mentally or physically ill in the 1700's were often thought of as witches. The fact that the entire event was started by 12-13 year old girls is also a factor when considering what happened.
