"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of
heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in
your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many
miracles?'  Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you.  Away
from me, you evildoers!'"  -- Matthew 7:21-23

Witches of any kind have no love for Jesus, therefore do not do the
will of the Father.  The 'will of God' is summed up in, 'Love God &
love your neighbor...'  Part of loving God is bringing glory to Him.
If a 'power' does not bring glory to God, it is not of God.  The above
quote shows that, even though good may appear to result from
something, if it is done with no love, it does not have heavenly
approval.
