My experience in high school was that the kids who got into the whole witchcraft thing were feeling socially helpless, and were specifically looking for a way to make other people do things. They got totally wrapped up in the "spells" to make people love them, or cause people pain, etc., and had no real interest in the rest of it.
Of course, if your daughter has lots of friends who are into it too, it may just be a way to fit in socially in and of itself. But you might talk to your daughter about what she thinks other people would think about it--might reveal whether it's purely a personal interest, or if it's more in reaction to the people around her, either positively or negatively.
