Casting a circle is personal preference. Many witches choose not
to cast a ritual circle, believing that it is entirely possible to work magic
without one. Many Wiccans do cast circles for most types of magic.
Of course it’s not necessary to cast a circle to experience divine presence, and when you do cast circles what you choose to cast it with is a personal choice. Some use a wand, some use an athame; others choose something different altogether, such as a finger or crystal. It is said that the teacher and activist Starhawk uses a pen.

Wicca & Witchcraft for Dummies sets out some of the many benefits of casting a ritual circle:
The circle keeps in the personal power for the ritual. This is the reason Wiccans usually cast a circle for a ritual or to work magic.
The circle keeps out distracting, negative
or unwanted energy.
The circle casting helps prepare a person
psychologically for a spiritual experience.
The circle is a safe, consecrated place to
enter a light trance and engage the unconscious mind.
