Properly, these home altars are called ogantwa or pe. On the ogantwa sit many of the same items found in the badji of the hounfò, including lithographs (or other representations of the Lwa), thunderstones, satin scarves of various colors, dolls, ceramic govi (lidded jars housing the Lwa), paket kongo, etc. There will likely also be a perpetual lamp of some kind.The Basics of a Vodou Altar / Vodou ShrineA Lwa altar or ogantwa can be made on a table or bookshelf, inside a cabinet/closet, or within a set of divided niches, each one for a specific Lwa. Cover the surface with a mouchwa or silk cloth, often a white cloth ―cotton, satin, or other spotless fabric but can also be in another color and style. Behind it, place the image of St. Claire who represents the Lwa Klèmezin Klermey, a spirit who brings light and protection.Other images include the Holy Virgin, Sacred Heart, Lazarus - Papa Legba, St. Patrick - Danbala Wedo, Mater Dolorosa - Ezili Freda, St. Isidore - Kouzin Azaka Mede, Ogou - St James or St. George , and so on. A candle is placed on one side, and a red or multicolored candle on the other. Holy water from a Catholic Church, perfumes, Pompeii, Florida Water, or Reve d’Or, incense, as well as fresh flowers, complete the setup of a personal shrine. There should always be a glass or bowl of fresh water on the ogantwa, and most devotees will place a kwakwa or rattle or a bell here (or an ason, if they are priests) to use for calling their spirits. Other items that may be necessary include, a small brazier for burning incense or other items, a glass bowl for making lamps, a supply of white taper or beeswax candles, cotton wicks, and olive oil as well as playing cards for divination.Most lwa are associated with specific Roman Catholic saints. These links rely on "analogies between their respective functions"; Azaka, the lwa of agriculture, is, for instance, associated with Saint Isidore, the farmer. Similarly, because he is understood as the "key" to the spirit world, Papa Legba is typically associated with Saint Peter, who is visually depicted holding keys in traditional Roman Catholic imagery. The lwa of love and luxury, Èzili Freda, is associated with Mater Dolorosa. Danbala Wedo, the serpent, is often equated with Saint Patrick, who is traditionally depicted with snakes, or with Moses, whose staff turned into serpents. The Marasa, or sacred twins, are typically equated with the twin saints Cosmas and Damian. Scholars like Desmangles have argued that Vodouists initially adopted the Roman Catholic saints to conceal lwa worship when the latter was illegal during the colonial period. Observing Vodou in the latter part of the 20th century, Donald J. Cosentino argued that by that point, the use of Roman Catholic saints reflected the genuine devotional expression of many Vodouists. The scholar Marc A. Christophe concurred that most modern Vodouisants genuinely see the saints and lwa as one, reflecting Vodou's "all-inclusive and harmonizing characteristics." Many Vodouists possess chromolithographic prints of the saints, while images of these Christian figures can also be found on temple walls, and on the drapo flags used in Vodou ritual. Vodouisant also often adopts and reinterprets Biblical stories and theorizes about the nature of Jesus of Nazareth.Used to serve each lwa. Often placed on the altar and worn as a head wrap.If you have any questions, please feel free to send us a message.Thank you for visiting. See you again soon!
