I originally planned on having amateur witchcraft in my novel that mimicked spells and rituals used in Wicca, however I found that my character is much darker and more reckless. Thus, the spells she casts wouldn't be used by most Wiccans.
I'm a little unsure of how to portray the difference in my book. I want it to be authentic, but I'm superstitious myself so I don't want to accidentally conjure any bad spirits for myself or readers by detailing the exact process. I also don't want to directly say that the character is practicing Satanism, but I want her actions to portray it. The book itself is not about Good vs Evil, rather karma. If you do bad things to others, it will happen back to you.
So to those that practice Wicca, is there anything that I should avoid mentioning that is Wicca specific with witchcraft? Or is there any obvious differences that I should mention? I have researched Wicca (and still am), but an inside opinion would be appreciated.
