Wicca is not classified as black nor white, but I understand what you mean. Eight words the Wiccan rede fulfil--an' it harm none, do as you will. Meaning, it is illegal to harm anyone, emotionally or physically, with magick or by our own hands or words. We aren't Satanists, or voodooers (well, most of us don't do voodoo) Wicca is simply controlling energy through deities and the powers in elements. I hope that answered your question.

no, wicca is a pagan religion, you know, with magic, rituals, inner peace, nature, and spells and stuff
There is nothing called Dark Wicca. Wicca is a religion, it is neither Dark or Light.. There are mysteries in the craft of Wicca, and the unworthy would use it for dark purposes. That is why there is a degree system in Wicca, where the secrets are revealed only to the worthy. Wicca is about life and earth and magic. It is up to the individual to decide what they shall attain in their life time.
Wicca is a religion, with rituals that are done to get a specific outcome. There are a variety of different types of rituals. Wicca practicioners believe they have a very close connection to the Earth and the forces within it. They believe in a unifying divine essence that flows though all things connecting all people and things. This essence is often called magic.
Actually there is such thing as magic. It's called Wicca. So if you don't believe in it good for you but it is real.
While there are some people who claim that they are the member of a bloodline in which witchcraft and skill in magic was strong, there is limited evidence for it and Wicca does not treat them any differently. Anyone can be a Wiccan.
The internet is a great place to start as there are many Wicca related websites with some great information available. I own a site called Pagan Magic, and I update it everyday with information, news, articles and spells relating to Wicca.
i am guessing the author wanted the book to seem authentic and spelled magick the right way. I think she was basing their religion (at the school) on wicca and she tried to get as many facts right as she could.
Magic or "Magick", is not like Harry Potter, it is form of religion, Wicca.

No. First of all, spells and mermaids are not real, so it doesn't really witchcraft. Witchcraft, at least the Western conception of it, is tied to the religion of Wicca. Most folklore relating to magic is not related to Wicca.
Wicca are people who follow the spiritual path of Wicca, where nature is revered. The Sun God and Moon Goddess. There are feminine and masculine (Goddess / God) forces of nature. There are cycles of nature, like Full Moon ~ New Moon, Seasons; which are celibrated by Wicca. Wiccans gather in a place by nature (a forest or meadow or a shore) to worship the God and Goddess. They form a sacred circle around an alter to keep their magic inside and evil outside. A Wiccan ritual is where everyone involves, there are no simple observents. Wiccans may raise their spiritual energy and do their Magic/Witchcraft. Wicca has secrets, only revealed as one progress after initiation. There is a moral code for Wicca. Modern Wicca may take the Wiccan Rede as the basic code. There are old laws which are more strict. The most important part is "Harm None and Do as you wish.!"
Wicca is a newer religion based on a mix of Saxon/Celtic folk traditions and Ceremonial magic. It was officially called Wicca by Gerald Gardener in the 50's. In the United States, Wicca was finally recognized as a religion in various states and by the Army in response to it's soldiers wanting to practice their faith without persecution.
