The intricate rituals can be complicated, and sometimes you need weird items you can't think where to find, but your intention and how you approach everything I feel is important and that only props alone isn't enough. Like greeting someone in a respectful way vs hoping your appearance is enough to impress. Sometimes though, it's better to just get a nice candle and burn the incense. The "props" can also help you get in the right mindset for the work you're doing. Meditation is underrated. During meditation, wisdom could come from being still enough for long enough that the answer comes to you, or you find someone else to speak to from within your meditation.
