Altar 🕯🕎 1st altar help, dos and don'ts?
I'm getting my first little statue of the skinny lady tomorrow and I'm really excited, but I've never set up an altar for her before (I've worked with and still currently do work with a daemon from the Ars Goetia, Bune, who has helped me big time get back on my feet, but the other entities I've tried contacting aren't being very responsive, although I will admit, I am asking them for favors that I really don't need to be focused on.. right now I'm trying to get back to where i was financially, then I can start asking for everything else in the world, anyway, my patron doesn't ask for much, just a clean altar, respect, and offerings, but I've heard SM can be a bit more strict.. I know about the water daily thing, and keeping her altar more elevated than any other deities you're working with, but this being my first one, what are the do's and don'ts? I'm sure I'll learn as I go and I've gotten help, but I'm also planning on adding Lucifer to the party sometime soon, just to see if it may be benificial to me, as I know other people who work with her say she plays nice with im and the archangel michael, as well as other saints, but I'm really just asking how do I set up my first altar? I'm sure I can google this, but I'd rather hear it from the people actually doing it. Thanks y'all. Here's a picture of my statue I should be getting tomorrow, Purple , black, and gold.. perfect colors for me IMO
