Forgive me if that's not the politcally correct way of asking.
I'm not trying to bash anyone. Just curious.

God Bless you...
That depends on who you ask, what kind of answer you will get...
Ask a witch, they will say "NO"
Ask a Christian, Muslim, or Jew, and they will say "Yes"...
Not bashing anyone...just answering a question...

No, I am a Witch and I don't even believe in Satan, much less worship him. As you have already read from many answers here, Satan is a Christian invention, not a Witch thing, not a pagan thing, just Christians.
I truly amazes me how many times we get accused of worshiping the devil, and the most preposterous thing I have read is that even though we say we are not devil worshipers, that the devil is working with us or on us or in us somehow because to be against the Christian God is to be with Satan. If they believe that, then they must believe that every other religion besides Christianity is in bed with the devil and the whole thing is so ridiculous!
I just wish that the Christians would keep their dang devil to themselves, because we don't want him. He is way too mean for nice people like Witches!!!
Bright blessings!

It depends on your perspective.
Putting aside what each group would say:
IF Satan is acknowledged as existing and is trying to subvert man from God, then, "Yes." With the occult crowd he has done a marvelous job, hiding his efforts quite well and still achieving his aim.
IF Satan does not exist, or any similar being, then, "No".
Many such "witches" believe that Satan is a bastardization of pagan deities and beings who are very real, and that the Christian concept of God is make-believe, or of a being not exactly benign. From their perspective, God might be considered "Satan" (Aramaic for "Great Enemy").
If you are a Christian, or any of the Judeo-Christian religions, involvement in the occult is a mistake if you are literalist (the Bible as utterly true). This is a rare bird, however.
Most are pretty normal people otherwise who really believe "If it harm none, do what thou wilt". Not exactly Satanic.

The term "witch" is very broad. There are many different types of witches. Some follow some sort of religious crede and some do not.
So, to answer your question, some witches are Satan worshippers..certainly. But I would image that out of the multitudes of different witches, the Satanists would definitely be the minority.

Not at all. Satan is a Christian belief, not a Pagan one. Christians created the devil by corrupting the image of a Pagan deity to give Paganism a bad image too.

Nope. There is no satan in witchcraft, satan is not even part of our religion. As much as I recall, Satanists don't even worship satan although I don't want to be treading unmarked territory so just remember witches don't worship satan.

a ways from being Christian, Halloween is an previous pagan holiday masquerading as though it have been between the customs of the church. inspite of this, professing Christians inspire their infants to get into the spirit of this pagan custom! The social gathering of Halloween is obviously a relic of pagan circumstances and superstitious custom its is a demonic holiday and little youngsters should not be partaking in those events why circulate to door to door soliciting for candy???

I am Answering from a Christian perspective. Christians believe that God created us and gave us His Son to be sacrificed for our sins. We believe, in various ways, that the constant action of total self giving of love in its purest form between the Father and the Son results in the Holy Spirit who helps us to recognize and love God. It is believed that those who oppose God intentionally are, by default, choosing evil, which is the realm of Satan. It is believed Satan, who was a beautiful and powerful angel created by God, rebelled against God and was followed by all the angels who were not loyal to God. A Christian believes that anyone, who is loyal to God, whether they're Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim, or any other religious group who believes in a God of Love and Peace and Truth, is doing, or at the very least attempting to do, the will of God. Therefore, those who reject God, though they may not be aware of it or choose not to accept it, are following the will of Satan. Hope this helps. Peace.

No. im pretty sure they sometimes worship Pan, which is a horned god of fertility. Pan is the basic christian image of Satan. its just another example of people taking something good and turning into something evil out of fear.
Hail Satan
Hail Azazel

No, in fact I don't believe in satan at all.
Not a very good type of worship if I don't believe it exists now is it.
That's just christian propaganda. They want people to fear us when there is nothing to fear. It's not like I am going to knock on your door on Saturday and ask to come in and talk to you about religion......Oops I forgot, They do that.
