Hello All .
So I wanted to come in and ask about PAPA LEGBA.
I wanted to come an ask some advice on set-up for my alter and how do we chant or what do we say to him for help.
This will be my 1st time. I ordered that candle and wanted to be ready to go when he arrives.
Any help and advice I can get will be greatly appreciated.
He likes coconut candy, toys, keys, cigars…. Read through the booklet that LALA provided. As the others say you don’t chant once you invoke you ask what you would like for him to do. There is no dismissing. Papa Legba has shown up for me. Make sure that you don’t have his alter where someone else alter is. His day is Saturday. Red and black are his colors. Search Legba in the forum and you will find a lot. Next time a Rite is offered for him to open doors you should join.
With the candle an informational card is included. There is also information about him in the back of the booklet, which you can view online. If you desire to setup an alter, it’s a personal so it’s completely up to how you are lead. Once you read the information, follow your intuition. It can be small, big, outside, as many offerings you are lead etc. Sit still , relax, and follow what come to you
As his daughter I would say to set up your alter of course but as far as things to put on the alter he is the most understanding spirit so with that being said if you only have a few things that you want to give him just do that and you don't chant with him you may continue your relationship with him after but you don't need to chant or anything also come with respect
