Everybody can add what they think should be on the list. It can be magickal or not.

Computer
Notebook
Space to work

That's all for now.

I'll add more money to the list.

Not really sure about a computer being on the list or daily practice.

Books, however, are essential.

Knowing yourself is another occult necessity, probably above all. So, life experience is of the highest importance.

I noticed books mention. I wonder, could you be more specific? My aim with this list is to create a list that would be of use to people just starting out. I remember when I started I didn't know what I'd need, what I wouldn't, etc.

Some books for the list

The Key of Solomon (higher and lower)
Occultia Phillosphia
Dr Drakes book "OBE, Astral Travells and journey's into the beyond"

i am the only list. no necessities needed and never have been. well a computer for the forums i run but that is it.

Jing, Qi, Shen. Will, intention, focus. Patience, belief, perseverance. The only place to find these tools is within oneself. So, I guess I'd say those are the necessities.

Ha! Fun!

Pens
Pen Refills
Art Pencils
Notebooks or Blank Books
Sketch Book
Music Theme Book (Like a Notebook of Staff Paper)
Computer
Evernote or Microsoft Office OneNote (Allows for threaded text and scrapbooking)
Yoga Mat
Workout clothes (I prefer a pair of scrubs style pants, padded socks and a t-shirt)
A solid pair of shoes (For walking or running)
A good swim suit (Thank goodness - there are now shorts-style speedo suits)
2D and 3D Drawing programs (Blender is Open Source, also there are Open Source 2D programs now)
Adobe Acrobat Reader, and Adobe Libraries
My nook
My iPod nano
Good coffee and coffee creamer
Diet soft drink (like Crystal Light) or purified water
Blanket
Music (for research and research breaks)
Movies (particularly awesome horror movies)
Audio Books

In terms of books, I'm a little leery of making my list of essentials (it's a conspiracy). Maybe more later.
