No. There is no creation story in original Wicca.
Many have been written since, but have nothing to do with Wicca. I remember hearing one about a "Great Cosmic Egg" but, again, it was written in the late 80's or early 90's and has nothing to do with Wicca.
There are a couple of reasons, or combination of reasons, why there is no Creation story for the Wicca. One, it was lost in time. Seems odd I know. One would think that would be a pretty important thing to get passed along. Two, it simply doesn't matter. The focus of the Wicca is very much about the here and now. If a person wakes up one morning in the middle of a forest one of the first things to enter their mind will be "How did I get here?" That will last all of twenty seconds before they
resolve themselves to "I don't know." and the rest of their focus will be on what to do next. Next we have the paradigm shift. At some point Wicca moved away from Orthodoxy to become more of an Orthopraxy. While a story of origin would be extremely important to Orthodox thinking, it again just doesn't matter if the focus is on proper practices.
So, no. There is no creation story of the Wicca. I hope this helped.

Wicca itself does not have a creation story.
Most Wiccans i know beleive that the Goddess has some say in creation as she represents nature. But they also believe evolution. (most - not all)
There is such a wide range of styles and traditions of Wicca you really can't make blanket statement on any of it. The rede is about the only thing they all have in common. (just Wiccans - if you go to other types of witchcraft and Paganism that doesn't apply either)

There are many, many, MANY creation stories for Wicca (partially because there are many, many different branches of Wicca, just like Christianity has denominations).
I have a dozen or so on my site, here: http://girlgerms.net/crea.html

The STORY of CREATION
Before Time Was
Before time was, there was the One, and the vast expanse known as the universe was the One, all wise, all pervading, all powerful, eternally changing and space moved.
The One moulded energy into twin forms, equal but opposite, fashioning the God and Goddess from the One and of the One. The God and Goddess stretched and gave thanks to the One, but darkness surrounded them.
So they formed energy to gasses and gasses to suns, moons and planets. Light arose and the sky was illuminated by a billion suns. Satisfied the Goddess and God rejoiced and loved and were one.
From their union spread the seeds of life and humans, so that we may achieve incarnation upon Earth.
The Goddess chose the moon as her symbol and the God the sun to remind them of their fashioners.
All are born, live, die, and are born again beneath the sun and the moon....

Wicca is a creation of man, and is a form of the occult.
