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"?

How many books have you read on the topic?
How many years have you been practicing magic?
If the answer is less then 3 for either, go home.

If however, the answer is more then 3, I recommend some more study and work at magic. The tools, well some at least do help, like a sword. Have you decided which appraoch you are going to take to evocation? There are several ways to go about it.
The TOA course, sure why not (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Actually my online skrying class is pretty good as well <g>

Lately there has been an internet influx of complete newbies wanting to summon demons. I am going to do the demons a favor and not encourage this behavior LOL.
