*One incense holder.
*A wine glass or chalice.
*Coins or gold.
*Wine or fruit juice.
*Oil.
*Wand.
*And optionally an instrument like the drum or flute.
1. Lay down the altar cloth and place the candle in the center.
2. place the item bound to the spirit[s] you wish to work with. Place it on the wall or elevated behind the candle so you may see it easily.
3. Dip your finger in oil and smear it on your lips, proceed to kiss the item. Let the oil dry and do not wipe it off until you are done.
4. To one side of the altar, place the rice or bread. If working with various spirits leave one for each.

The rest is completely customisable. You may add things if you wish.
Incense holders are vital, so you don’t get your altar dirty with ash.
Ensure you clean your altar on a daily basis.

Ensure there is no religious paraphernalia of any sort. No crosses. No god/goddess statues. No pentagrams. No bibles or other religious texts.
We are necromancers, we must keep necromancy and religion separated out of respect for the spirits we work with. Pray to the gods away from the altar, keep the altar dedicated to the spirits and the spirits alone.
