One of the problems with the OP is that witchcraft covers a very wide range. There are examples of malicious witchcraft in Africa and other places alongside malicious examples of Christian paranoia over witchcraft (see Stimbo's link).
I am not sure this can be equated to the situation in Europe over a 500 year period when an unknown number of women were burnt (possibly 100,000 plus) for being witches. It appears that their major crime was being independent women, or old women living on their own, or ugly women again on their own or living with other women (thereby being classified as a coven).
Whatever horrors one might suppose witches have done over history it appears this diminishes into nothing compared to the crimes against women, by Christianity, under the excuse of witchcraft.
From the little I know of Wiccans they seem to bear very little resemblance to any of the above - being worshippers of nature more than anything else. Further, I have never heard of a case of Wiccans harming anyone (not that this means the odd case may have come up but but as an example of causality it would be massively rarer than Christianity or Islam, for example).
