Some may, some may not. The term "witch" refers to wide variety of religious and/or spiritual practices that are almost as numerous as their practitioners.
Most contemporary Christians generally regard themselves as monotheists, and believe in the Trinity, composed of the Father God, the Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. These are three different persons within the same deity. "Wisdom" is described in various places in the Bible as a sort of female Goddess who was present at the creation of the universe. However, she does not play a significant role in most modern Christian faith groups.
Wiccans generally believe in a duo theistic deity structure: a Goddess and a God. Further, the Goddess has three aspects: Maiden, Mother and Crone. They represent sexuality, fertility and wisdom.
At first glance, the beliefs of Wicca and Christianity concerning deity appear to be hopelessly at variance with each other. But some Wiccans have been able to integrate Christian and Wiccan elements into a single spiritual path
It is clear that a Wiccan cannot consider themselves to be Christian without first rejecting much of the content of the Bible and many historical Christian beliefs. This would exclude them from the conservative Christian fold in the same way that liberal Christians are considered to be non-Christian or sub-Christian by many religious conservatives.
So, the final answer in a nutshell would be "Some almost certainly do, while others almost certainly do not."

I am turning seventeen in a couple of months. I was wondering if there is any special wiccan tradition?

Strega = italian witchcraft, in a nutshell

They may profess to beleive the Bible but in reality do not, it forbids witchcraft
by Anonymous on April 22nd, 2005
it forbids poisoning and idolatry. Wicca is not idol-worship. Good answer.
by zeropointburn on June 11th, 2005
Very good answer.

Any true Christian does NOT ascribe to the notion of a "goddess." ONLY a God.

Nice answer. @101 What defines a 'true christian' is irrelevant in this instance, not the topic under discussion.

Answers - who appointed you the official gatekeeper of the definition of "true Christian?"

You believe there is one God, do you? You are doing quite well. And yet the demons believe and shudder. (James 2:19)

Can we PLEASE get the Christian answers and references to the Bible out of the Wiccan section? Quoting the Bible is no more credible or meaningful to a Wiccan than quoting the Book of the Dead...in general, it is less credible.
by AntigoneRising on December 8th, 2006
Yes. That is what I normally do.
I commented on this some time ago.
That is one very interesting scripture.
by Perryman on December 8th, 2006
So, you are normally inappropriate and irrelevant? Don't make me sharpen my fangs...
