I’m so confused, how many altars do I need? Do I need one for spelled candles and then separate ones for each lwa? Can I just make one altar for all lwas or would that be disrespectful? I live with other people and don’t have much space. If possible I would love just having one altar but I don’t want to be disrespectful to the spirits or to tradition.

I haven't worked with the Lwa, but if you have limited space you could hang something like this on your wall. Near your door if it's for Papa Legba. Have his candle and veve in there, and use the rest of the shelf space for his offerings. Lots of Catholic homes have shelf altars like this.

Hi hunny bunny yup 👍🏾 the Lwa’s need there own space. But you already knew that lol. So your Spelled candles and Conjure candles should have one ☝🏾 Altar. Your Ancestors altar, should be another different altar. Each Lwa that you work with should have there own separate space and altar. The reason is because of the different offerings as well as Respect. Some of them don’t mix well with others and they each have there own purpose. Hope that helps. ♥️❤️♥️🖤♍️
Thank you!
Your regular spell and conjure can have one altar unless it is the Lwa. The Lwa each should have their own altar
Thanks! Do they each need their own or one for all of them?
You can use the same Altar for the spelled and conjure candles as long as you cleanse in between rituals. And Lwas need their own altar/space.
