Wiccan's are a mix of Paganism and modern philosophy. There is not God or Satan to them. So by deffinition they cannot be Satanists nor do they cast out Devils in the Christian sense. It's a whole different religion and has no direct connection with Christianity except that the majority of Wican's were born and raised as Christians.

Whenever I perform a healing ritual, I ask for the help of God and Goddess. Many Wiccans also draw on the energies of the Earth. Wicca doesn't believe in a completely evil being. We believe that everything comes from the same godhead.
It should be noted that not all Wiccans perform healings. While Wicca embraces the idea of magic, it is not mandatory for Wiccans to practice it.

Wiccans do not acknowledge absolute evil. Therefore there is no Satanic practices in Wicca. Also we work with many Gods to do our magicks. Would you like to see a Wiccan ritual?? Click on the link below.

Wiccan dont believe in a devil, or Satan. They are not Satan worshippers, nor use him in any way.
Also, to confuse the matter even more, there is such a thing as a Christian Wiccan, who deems God the highest power, followed by Mother Earth, and so on down the line.

Wiccans dont beleive in "satan".
Many of them heal with herbs and naturopathic remedies.
(which work anyway)
I beleive that any healing, comes from God.
Anything good comes from The Lord Jesus Christ.
How could Satan heal?

No, Wiccans do not use or worship Satan. We use the natural healing power of Mother Earth.

Satan is a Christian belief, not a Wiccan one. So no, we don't use a so-called Satan in our rituals or spell casting. We use personal power to direct energies to get needed results.

Wicca folks claim they are tapping into the spirits of the earth to gain power. I don't think they would refer to these as 'good' or 'bad' spirits, - just useful.
We Christians understand that God the Father is a source of power, and there DOES exist other sources of power, ie. the kingdom of darkness, Satan and his demons.
Un-named, anonymous, and ready to give humans unique powers in exchange for allegiance to them and not God the Father.
For the situation of healing, - if a demon gives you a thorn in your finger, (figuratively or literally) and then eventually removes it, then that can be perceived as a healing. Even the devil had the power to inflict pain on job, - but not kill him.

We don't 'cast out devil' nor do we use Satan since we don't believe in either.

How can you cast out evil through evil?
Christianity teaches that everything good comes from God.
It also teaches that there are false teachers who have the form of godliness but deny the power.
