tools can be visualized to good effect. In other words imagine the tools vividly in your mind and use them in ritual.
but to answer your question, no. tools are not needed, they simply help to direct the energies and give the mind something to hold onto that is tangible and real.
I have definitely done magic without tools and such. I find them helpful though, because, as stated before, they give you something tangible to hold onto, see, feel, and help direct your energy.
If your interested in doing magic though, some simple things you could get are incense. You can get them almost anywhere, heck, even my dollar store carries them (they aren't the best quality, but they do their job).
Anyways, you don't really need the tools, especially starting out, as you should be working on meditation, energy manipulation, and things of that sort. Then you can figure out some tools you want to use, and eventually get them if you can.
No, you do not have to have tools, to do rituals or spells. You can simply visualize an altar or ritual tools you please in your mind. I sometimes do this myself i always imagine myself with supplies and altar in my mind, But i tend to keep on the astral planes or astral form. But i do like to have some stuff physically, just to help visualize or direct energies, like they said.
Of course. Magick is energy, the tools just help us connect. What can be done with and Athame can be done by your finger just as easily. Herbs and crystals naturally have this energy inside them, so using these items in your spell can make it stronger, but you can simply charge energy and say a chant, it just takes more focus.
