In what way could Ritual magick, Wiccan and Buddhist magick clash?

For me, it's so odd that in spite of the similarities in these three beliefs they would tend to repel each other. The Wiccan rede, tikune and karma all denote the same thing but their methods clash. I tend to take what works from each then mix them together but I would get weird results (at some times, they work).

Take for instance, in charging a talisman, I clear the area with a Wiccan method then follow it up with the LBRP and somehow the area still won't be cleared of any negative influence (on an added note, it somehow affects the weather in a weird way: after doing these two methods of banishing, clouds would appear blocking the moon's rays off even when the weather reports say it is fair and no signs of a storm or rain are around).

Kinda hard to be new to magick - you don't know and/or can't tell the difference if you're doing the wrong thing, the Universe doesn't approve of your intent or it's just plain misconception/superstition.

Any thoughts on this, people?
