Well, the meaning of the word "Pagan" is an old English word for "valley dwellers". I know what you mean, but I just wanted to get that out of the way. By standards nowadays, Paganism is a generalized term covering many different pantheistic religions and traditions, including Wicca. A good way to understand that relationship is this: Lutheranism is to Christianity as Wicca is to Paganism. So, simply put, the answer to your question is "yes".
