"Blame" is a verb in infinitive in this sentence, thus "to" is not a preposition. "To" is a "function word" that indicates the infinitive form of the verb.

"The witch" is the subject. "is" is a linking verb that describes the state of the witch. "TO blame" is an infinitive phrase that acts as an adjective.
So, "TO" is not a preposition.
