For the altar itself rather than for one working — what the rest of it is set upon and kept in.

Read from what this product is. It is not a promise about what will happen.

Shipped from the shop in Easley, South Carolina. See this on our storefront.

The practice

What this shop’s tradition does with an object like this. It is how it is used, not a promise about what follows.

  • Mondaythe Moon’s day — worked for the roads, the home, and anything that has to open.
How it is used
  1. 1Given its own place, kept clean, and kept apart from where ordinary things are put down.
  2. 2Water is the simplest and oldest offering. Changed, not topped up.
What people get wrong
  • Letting the altar become a shelf. A surface that collects post is not an altar any more.
Named for Changó

Thunder, fire and justice. Force applied openly rather than quietly.

  • ColoursRed and white
  • DayFriday
  • Customary offeringRed apples, cornmeal, rum.

What is here is what the label says and what any botanica will tell you across the counter. Ceremony, initiation and anything belonging to a house is not ours to publish — that is between you and a padrino or madrina.

What completes it

A working has more than one part. These stand on the rungs this one does not.
