Equipment Options

I have a really retarded question. As I stated in an earlier post I am new to goetia but not to ceremonial magick. I was wondering how much of the equipment from the Goetia is really essential to get results from this kind of evocation.

I have a circle with the holy names on it. Its not the same form and design as the one from the lesser keys however(its my own design).

I am also making a triangle of art with a skrying mirror on it. So the triangle won't be the floor variety as in the Book.

As for the bass box, sword, and everything else, I don't have them. All I have is standard Golden Dawn equipment(minus the sword).

So do you think all the trappings are essential? Would it not be successful without following it to the "T"?

Ok.......
Its going to be one of these Q&A about Goetic Evocations?
You are a fairly intelligent person...
READ the material. YOU decided to vary the gameplan as it was written...YOU figure out your problems! (Wear the sigil...) I do not know of the Temple of Astarte...? Hence, I do not know of their correspondence course. Frankly, our Library contains all the info you should require for evocation, we will be glad to add to the lists if you'd care to share...

EDIT: Oh....the O.T.A. I know of this offshoot. I'm not familiar with their product (video and book) of Solomonic Magic(k).
