In the instruction booklet, Lala notes the metal offerings we should use on our altars for the conjure candles.
However, I’m wondering if you all know of any extra offerings that would be good to put on the altars? I’m all about making sure I give sufficient offerings and thanks to any spirits and ancestors I work with.
Also, what offerings would you guys recommend for the non-conjure spelled candles?
I already always put a glass of water on the altar but am wondering what other things I could offer. I currently have the XL Good Fortune and Power spelled candles so I’d like to have a couple of things to put on the altar when I burn those.
Lastly, do any of your use ancestor money? I have some but have never used it, so not sure the best way to go about using it as an offering. I’ve heard some people even use real money. Are you supposed to burn it?
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks fam.
Amber. I have burned ancestor money in the past. This morning I just cleansed and chanted. I waiting for excitement
I use the xl ancestor money to scribe sometimes from the new moon to full moon then burn it. I mainly use the ancestor money for my ancestral altar. If I dedicate real money to an altar it belongs to the spirits, I don’t use or burn it. Some ppl do. It’s whatever feels right to you. That’s what matters. As well as any offering that I make to spirit, it belongs to that spirit/deity/lwa. I do not use it for myself. Another offering that I decided to incorporate recently is once my petition is fulfilled I will donate a predetermined cash app amount to someone on the conjure or the soul purges Instagram acknowledging the spirit that assisted me. You can also use bay leaves or start a money drawing/magnet jar.
@amber. I put ancestor money on my altar along with real money. Preparing for tomorrow
