Sure, all religions co-mingle. It's called syncretism. People have culture and they bring that culture into whatever faith they have or adopt. Sometimes, part of that culture is ritual behavior or veneration of sacred objects, even pre-existing faith traditions.
One of the differences between christianity and wicca...is that christians insist that people shouldn;t do this, and refuse to acknowledge that christianity is a product -of- this..whereas wiccans are empowered to mix and match whatever they like. Pomp is power. A wiccan doesn't even have to believe in the object, they need only harness whatever belief others have or whatever it can be utilized as a focal point for.
