very important or not so?

This may sound stupid, but exactly how dangerous is casting spells without a circle and are there exceptions (for example weather spells or healing spells)?
I'm asking this because I simply don't have the space to create a circle unless I go outside but sadly enough I'm visible for the whole street if I do that -_-"
And I also can't imagine that you have to cast a circle for every spell you do...

-_- I would believe a protection circle is used for rituals, not simple spells. Also, the circle does not have to be materialized, unless needed or desired. It all depends on the need of the one doing it. Of course, this is base on my ideas. It is all about how much you are going to do. If it is nothing heavy, a simple protection spell will do before doing anything, of course some already made spells bring an intro of protection and an ending as well, but it is you who decide what to do and how to do it.

I agree that casting a circle isn't necessary for simple spells. If I am calling upon a Deity, or an Elemental I always cast a circle. You don't have to physically create a circle. If you are skilled you can visualize the circle and not actually make one.

I never cast a circle and have yet to encounter any problems, but I'm also not a frequent spell-caster so I guess it is possible that I've just gotten lucky so far.

only dangerous when summoning things i only cast circles during rituals not spell work

I do work with allot of Rituals, but I don't cast circles then either. The only circles I have ever cast were in a game with which the goal was to throw a ring onto a stick. It was kind of fun, but only because I was bored out of mind and had nothing else to do.

I myself rarely use circles for spells unless of course its working higher magick.

ok thanks, I'm relieved to hear that it's not really nesessary ^^
I don't call upon anything exept wind or rain so...
grtz and thanks again.

for general usage it can help to contain/focus/channel the energy you're working with. But its not essential in most cases
