No one knows for sure but we do know that the number is increasing rapidly. Our best estimate here at The Witches' Voice is about 1 million in the U.S. and 3 million worldwide. The Witches' Voice is one of the largest Pagan and most active sites on the net, but just one of the numerous sites that focus on Witchcraft, Wicca and Paganism. People are generally drawn to Witchcraft, Wicca and other pagan paths for several reasons.
Many women feel left out of more mainstream religions because of the lack of feminine divinity.
For them, the Wiccan concept of the Goddess as Mother of all Living fills an empty space in their spiritual search. People drawn to the mystical find pagan belief systems much more accommodating as we do not see anything unnatural about psychic ability or the use of magick to create needed changes in one's life. Some people pray, some people chant, we happen to use spells, projections and magick. Even today in the twentieth century discrimination exists. DO respect requests for anonymity and privacy.
