I used to have a housemate that got called "witch" as an insult, usually by men she wouldn't fuck. She was kind of hippy and had long black hair.

That's because witches are a part of folklore traditions from pagans and not generally connected to the extremely short-living Wiccan religion.

If you honestly find it offensive to call someone a witch, you're deluded. It's no worse than "troll" or "gremlin" or any other fantastical creature. Regardless of whether some extremely tiny minority decided to call themselves that, too.

Hi, Witch here, not Wiccan.

Yes, it's offensive to call a person who has an undesirable attitude undesirable a 'witch' or a 'bitch' as well, as that's misogynistic. Why not call it like it is, and go with 'nasty person'.

It is a remnant of some uber-religious (Christian) places/times; in some places, calling a woman a witch is to say that she's ugly AND has a nasty temper.
