Witches don't believe in Satan or Lucifer, nor do they worship any deity in the sense that Christians and other major religions go about worship. I'm not saying there isn't the occasional Satanist out there, but in my experience they are rather odd individuals and often quite attention seeking. I have some friends who are witches (not specifically Wiccan) and they are some of the kindest and nicest people I know. They don't go about hexing because they believe these things rebound (a bit like karma), so it will come back and bite you. They honour the four ancient elements (fire, water, air, earth) but they don't worship anything or anyone. There's nothing I've ever seen them do that can't be explained in terms of normal human psychology and herbalism.
I appreciate many Christians believe that even "nice witches" have been tricked into serving the devil, but I simply do not see that with my friends (and I come from a very evangelical background). I have seen, or rather felt, real evil. It was to do with Aliester Crowley, whose name I'm not even going to google to check if I've spelt it right. I had a friend who was into Crowley and showed me some films he had influenced that were made by Kenneth Anger. I really felt like my soul was under attack in a way I've never had before or since. Even a few days later I still felt so tainted by it I had to speak to a Franciscan nun, who was very kind. Any mention of AC's name really freaks me out. So I don't deny the existence of real and profound evil. I don't deny people can be tricked. But I do not think all witches worship Lucifer.
On a lighter note, I don't really feel like their "hexing" was very effective last time around!!!
