Many universes which housed versions of the Land of Oz were home to witches.
In Acquaintanceship's Oz
In the Oz of one Prime-adjacent universe, which was visited by Acquaintanceship-982, Glinda was known as the Good Witch. There was also a former Wicked Witch of the South, Blinkie. She once had innate magical powers, but they were taken from her by benevolent Ozites after they defeated. Later, after a Love Potion-aided change of heart, she was advised to petition Ozma to get them back so that she could become a benevolent magic-maker in Ozma's retinue.
