Witches normally only spawn at the witch huts in Swamp biomes, which are exceedingly rare as they don't spawn in any of the ExtraBiomes swamp-type biomes, only in the vanilla Swamp. And even then, they are rare in Vanilla swamps. Finding one can be exceedingly time consuming.
However, there's an easy way to get a Witch with the Twilight Forest mod, simply use Transformation Powder on a Skeletal Druid and it will turn it into a Witch.
Here's how: First, go to the Twilight Forest and find some Transformation Powder, which can be found quite frequently in treasure chests in Hollow Hills, Lich Towers, etc. Then find an Druid Hut (also quite common to find these) which has a Skeletal Druid spawner, and use the Transformation Powder on the Skeletal Druids that spawn. Poof, they turn into a Witch!
You can make a Soul Shard from these transformed Witches, which is very valuable as Witches drop Redstone and Glowstone Dust. It will however be difficult to find enough Transformation Powder to fully fill a Soul Shard; alternatively you can use the Anvil repair to combine multiple soul shards into a single one.
Other useful transformations include turning a Redcap into a Villager, and Wraiths turn into Blazes.
