That depends on if Elly was a wiccan, not if she was a witch.
According to the laws of wicca, what you send out comes back on you three times stronger. (The law of threefold return). So if you send out nasty things, you are liable to get nasty things back.
Even something like a love spell, in which you are seeking to control the other persons feelings about you, could result in a negative spell, because its possible that that person would seek to control you three times as strong as you sought to control them. I hope that makes some sense?
Now, modern wicca has only been around since the time of Gerald Gardner, who began the "Gardnerian tradition" and the other popular tradition is the later Alexandrian. Gardner claimed to have been initiated into the ways of Wicca by "auld Dorothy Clutterbuck" and claimed that his way of wicca was authentic, traditional, and ancient, and that it had survived the Burning Times. Whether or not this is actually true, no one really knows. What is known about Gardner is that he was a first degree Freemason, and that there is some similarity in rituals. He also courted the company of Aleister Crowley, famous for the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and again, rituals are similar. In the main, the knowledge that wicca holds today comes from sources such as the ancient Jewish Kabbalah (or Quabbala), and old grimoires such as the Occult Philosophy by Cornelius Agrippa (see my thread on Transitus Fluvii for more about him). From what I have been able to find out thus far (in a couple of years of research) Modern wicca is a bit of a modern take on these ancient scripts and laws, but with the inclusion of the law of threefold return. Wicca is if you like, being a "white witch".
Other witchcraft also exists - satanism could be classed as one of these. Aleister Crowley claimed to have called up demons. For this type of witchcraft, and remembering that modern wicca didnt exist in Ellys time, there is no law of threefold return.
I hope this clarifies things a bit, and doesnt go way over your head, as I said previously, reading up on the subject really does help in understanding wicca and witchcraft.
