The fact is you do not need all of those things to practice magic. All you truely need is yourself and your intent. I say this not to knock what you have written but to let those who may read this and are just starting out know. Money is tight for everyone now a days and I do not want someone to come along thinking they can't practice witchcraft and magic because they do not have the right tools and can't get them.

Very true - I have been doing magik for over 50 years, and still ain't got most of that stuff. Maybe if I suddenly got hold of it all, I would become supermagik.

Earth is a good suggestion, I'd add heaven, intuition and my heart- that would be my essentials.
We do have the stuff already but we need to learn how to use it, even though in practice I'm definitely a minimalist, sometimes tools and items for correspondences can help to set your intent and focus your energy, so in doing workings that seem challenging taking a little time or expense to find just the right items might be a good idea.

You are right some of the things we do have already but in reality it is not needed to practice. While the reason for tools is to help us focus energy more and set our intent the truth is all we really need is ourselves.
