I want to keep an altar for Legba and Freda after I invoke them but my space is very limited right now. I came up with the idea of keeping an altar box but would that be appropriate? Also what would be items that would go inside? The boxes I’m looking at are about the size of a shoe box so it would have to be small items/offerings. And when I give them bigger offerings would I set it up on my personal altar?

Print out their Veve my space is also limited continue to speak to them not just on their days but in general. If your heart is in the right place and you have invoked them continue to acknowledge them. Listen to songs that are specific to them just invite them in.
The altar box is a great idea! I put my Papa Legba altar up each Monday evening and dismantle it by Tuesday when I get home from work. It's just I dont have any space to keep it set up daily and I have 3 kids, two of whom are 4 and 1 and cant keep their hands out of anything! Thank you for this idea!
Decoration. Things that remind you of them! You can even write down poems that remind you of them or things they have done for you. Some gods like it when you give a couple dollars to charity, thinking of them.
I think it's awesome. Have you browsed altars on Instagram or Pinterest for ideas?? You can collage and journal for them...My God likes stuff like cinnamon, rocks, candles, little things like figurines of their fav animals..
I think it would be fine! My alter is an alter that I have to hide from my family. I have to put it away whenever they come back.
This Is A Really Good Question
