Can you use your altar space for more than one ongoing spell at a time?

Personally I do something like this:

My Multipurpose Permanent Altar of Deity Devotion, Spell Work, and Divination

My shifting working space This is where everything active happens. Everything from burning candles and incense in deity devotional work, laying out sigils in demonolatry work, laying out cards when doing tarot readings, making spell jars, and whatever is required from a spell or ritual. Kind of messy, right? So what would I do if I wanted to keep the energies from these different activities separate? Well, I have an idea. I’ve started placing placemats on the working space. I bought a bundle …

It’s not necessary – it just helps keep me feeling organised.

I’ve also watched a few ritual tutorials where the candle has to be left to burn and the practitioner tells us to move it from the working altar space to somewhere it won’t be disturbed.

So there are a few ways you can achieve this if you aren’t comfortable with just switching it up in the same space right away.
