Modern witches would give that a resounding "NO," arguing that Satan is a Judeo-Christian concept in which they simply don't believe.

One might argue, however, that IF Satan is indeed the spirit of evil, then simply refusing to recognize him doesn't mean one isn't doing his work. Some people who are naturally inclined to mischief may study witchcraft into order to gain power to amplify that mischief.

However, as far as ceremonially worshipping Satan, conjuring him, kissing his butt, having sex with him or his minions, receiving secret marks on the body, signing contracts in blood, etc., that's all made up by people who were trying to whip up hatred of witches. Unfortunately, a few wacky people will try to do that, in a sort of rebellion against conventional religion, so the anti-witch crowd gets a little ammunition to claim, "There you are!" Rockers and goths (though not all of them) are particularly problematic in this regard.

The great bulk of witches practice a sort of Earth Magic (or "magick," to distinguish it from illusionism) which is totally benign: no hexes, curses, causing plagues, miscarriages or the like.
