well it depends on the spell or ritual you are doing, for some it is necessary but for others it just to help with the spell or ritual or just dont need one at all.

If you feel it's necessary, then by all means go for it. It's really a personal path thing. One of my friends doesn't cast circles at all, but that's her. I cast circles anytime I cast a spell.

Oh, good...
I can't draw pentagrams..
I'd have to look at my amulet the whole time or draw it on a piece of paper..

well you dont need a pentagram in your circle or a huge pentagram on the floor. a simple circle should be ok for most stuff. now if your looking for something with a pentagram i would recommend just printing one off from a computer or something. it wont be big but it would be perfect for some spells and/or alters.

Completely personal decision. I've only really seen circle casting in Wiccan ritual work, honestly.

It is really up to you...

There are also those who visualize a circle and cast it with energy rather than creating a physical circle.

If you believe it is necessary then go a head and do it. It's personal choice.
Also if you want to include a pentagram you can.

Do it specially when you are working with flames or fire. imho
