I have a Coworker who's a wiccan. Before i knew that, my thought was wiccan's were some group you'd hear about, but would probably never bump into. The fact that I have makes me think their more common then one might think. The thing here is, we say "witch" and we think of green skin, black pointy hats, a broom, and a bubbling caudrlon. To a wiccan, the word "witch" probably has an entirely different context. I really don't know, just giving it the bennfit of the doubt.
