This is fabulous, but I would only add...enough light to read your ritual! I made that mistake my first spell/ ritual. I had spent days planning, gathering, writing, getting supplies, setting up. Cast the circle and with the dim candle light...doh! I couldn't read my notes!
Excellent addition to the list! We often get so caught up in making the ritual "witchy" enough, by insisting it be done in the dark by candle light. Nothing wrong with performing magic during the day or with the lights on!
My person addition. Music. Some can't stand it, some can't go without it. Try a few kinds doing a little relaxation meditation, chances are your feelings about it will be the same. If you choose to use music don't forget to start it if you're keeping electronics out of your circle. Personally I bring a speaker in with me but I still need to remember to start the music before I cast my circle
