Wiccan, to be precise.
If you're asking how many people in the world are Neo-Pagan, estimates vary widely, in part because some censuses don't have a "Pagan" box to tick, and also because many people are concerned about self-identifying as Neo-Pagan for fear of discrimination. What does seem to be clear is that Neo-Paganism is one of the fastest growing families of religions out there.

You can add in me and my mate :P
Another complicating factor in getting a head count of pagans is that some people are afraid to come out of the broom closet, even on anonymous surveys.

Count me in too.
If you're looking for a general number of self-identified Pagans in the world, estimates I've heard run close to 500,000, but those numbers are a bit dated.

Billions of people. Pagans are who is not a Christian, Muslim or Jew, especially a worshiper of a polytheistic religion. Pagans are not heathens.
One who is polytheistic is one who believes that there are many gods. For example, Trinity God.
Here, "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:" Exo 20:4
and
"Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: ...Exo 20:5
Tell me, Who practise paganism?

Me.
If you're looking for a percentage of the population, you'll find the numbers vary greatly from source to source.

Yup. I'm a polytheist. I can't imagine any other way of life.
