I don't know that she's "happy"....the light going over her face makes her appear kind of grotesque, in turns.
But No, she was not a witch all along. She only came to an agreement with the Dark One (the devil, who EVER it is) in the last scene.
.
I think she was. She admitted at the end.
shareNo, she only became a witch after signing a deal with the devil at the end.
shareNo. It wasn't done very well but it's clear she lost all hope and gave in to temptation. Which leads to an interesting final scene, though the flying witches looks like it was done on someone's laptop.
shareShe became a witch at the end
shareIt’s clear that the devil wanted her all along & to that end he made sure that he got her. Same old tactic, divide & conquer, separate her from the herd, a house divided cannot stand. That kind of thing, tactics of the ages that are as old as human history itself.
The devil is a master planner & the only thing clear to me about all of this is that he had his heart set on her from the very get go & he eventually got her. He made sure she had nowhere else to turn to other than accepting his deal & being a witch. Would’ve been curious as to what would have happened if she declined. Most likely he would’ve kept up his pursuit of her until the very end but who knows.

from the wikipedia page:
"The film's plot orbits around a psychological conflict, using a repressive, patriarchal portrayal of Puritan society and the dark, murderous liberation of the witches. The main female character, Thomasin, harbors worldly desires that differ from those of her conventionally Christian family, yearning for independence, sexuality, acceptance and power.
However, while her father and the Christian God fail to fulfill her needs, Satan instead speaks personally to her, offering her earthly satisfaction.
Therefore, with the demise of her family and the rejection of the Puritan society, Thomasin joins Satan and the witches, her only alternative, in order to find her long desired control over her own life.
Her nudity in the last scene reflects her act of casting out the bonds of her previous society.
The difference between both options, nevertheless, is rendered blurred in an evocation of equal religious extremism.
This is first felt in the architecture of the family's own home, which ironically resembles an archetypal witch's cottage itself, hinting the gradual reveal that evil is already installed in them.
On the opposite side, Satan's temptation of Thomasin also acquires traits of ideological grooming, slowly alienating her from her family.
At the end, despite her newfound cause and ecstatic laugh at the coven, Thomasin has not escaped her previous religiosity, but merely changed its direction, turning to murder in exchange for freedom.
The symbolic conflict between civilization and nature is also present in all the aspects of the film.
The family lives next to a dark forest, a place tied to witchcraft in their culture, which underlines the conflict between their civilized, patriarchal religion and the Gothic, wild natural world that surrounds them. The forest, as well as the state of nudity, are associated with monstrosity, with the untamed wilderness where the forbidden liberation and sexuality emerge.
Accordingly, Caleb returns nude after being seduced by the witch, the witches themselves perform their acts while naked, and Thomasin eventually adopts this code upon joining them.At the end of the film, nature triumphs over its adversary, with the Pan-like Black Phillip goring the axe-wielding William in a metaphor of man being consumed by the wild."
