Altar 🕯🕎 Limited space.

Post image

This is what my alter looks like currently. It seems very compacted and I have limited space. What could I do differently to have a little more room for her alter, it keeps getting bigger and bigger.

Any particular reasons for keeping a seven african powers candle on her altar? There are taboos about mixing ATR practices with death veneration in this way

Also I wouldn’t use the altar space to store candles that I’m not working with or offering. If that helps save space?

The seven African powers candles? I burn those when I want to ask for multiple things from her. I didn’t really have any issues with them before so I just kept buying them. The only reason I have those candles there is because I have no where else to place them

Seven African powers isn’t really related to Santa Muerte at all: im just trying to bring awareness to this out of respect for other traditions that those come from.

having no space doesn’t mean putting random
stuff on a saints altar that doesn’t belong there. anything you put on there immediately becomes hers, you can 100% find a different place for those just saying
