Because there are people who identify as witches today, both of the alternative religion/Wiccan/Pagan variety, and people who honestly believe they can cast spells with a wand whilst wearing a pointy hat and flying on a broom ala Harry Potter.

People use witchcraft for many reasons. Some people are in search of personal power, and feel that witchcraft will give that to them. Some people feel a deep connection to nature and want to feel closer to a more natural religion. Other people feel a connection to history, and want to worship as our ancestors did.

Any religion is deeply personal, and you will find all sorts of people in almost any religion.

That's their own problem, they are real. The whole religion of the Celtics was magic. They might not be the witches you might be thinking of. Many people still practice magic today.
