Vodou Lamps
One of the most common, yet most powerful things we have in Vodou are lamps. Lamps may be set to honour and serve the lwa, or they may be used to work toward a particular request. Lamps may run for any number of days, but will be prayed over each and every one of those days.

Individual devotees and priests typically maintain a small altar for the Lwa (or for a specific Lwa) in their homes as a focal point for prayer and meditation; here, they make private devotionals and frequent services to their personal mysteries. 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 Shrine
A 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.
