To me she is much more than a witch, but not like a god or nothing divine.

from a practical standpoint it doesn't really matter. she is yoda or merlin. she is the blind monk who spouts platitudes and can kick your arse five different ways before you can say "fortune cookie." she is the enigmatic guide and teacher who has knowledge that seems to violate the laws of time and space, but ultimately her function is to prepare a chosen one.
perhaps, given her comments about inevitability, she is functionally a slave to her exigent shop. she is the will and the word. the shop is need and purpose.
i have never read the manga, and only have a cursory knowledge of the anime, but ultimately i hope we never get an answer to your question. whatever explanation the writers come up with could only serve to diminish the character. end the mystery and you kill some of the magic.
