Best way to petition Papa Legba, for a beginner seeking to open the door to learn?
Hello, I feel as if I want to petition Papa Legba to open the door for me to begin to incorporate Vodou into my spiritual path. I'm sure this may not be the traditional way to start learning but something inside me tells me it's what I should do, as I am in no rush to practice I just want to be open to receive it. So, I am curious as to if and how any of you have petitioned Papa Legba at the beginning of your journeys and how you did it?
Thanks for any info.

Legba will share if he has to.... its not such a big deal. Generally though putting him next to your door is a good idea, he likes to be near doorways and gates. We dont generally give him cigars, he'll take them but they're not his favourite..... that'd be something called Mayi Griye, whiich is dry grilled corn; take dry corn kernels and toast them in a pan (not so they pop, but they'll brown a little bit on the edges). A cup of coffee from time to time, black but with sugar, will also keep him happy. So will rum, to warm up his ol' bones.
Red, White, Brown... any of those are good candle colors for him; sometimes you'll see a glass 7 day candle that's a yellow candle with a pic of St Lazarus; those work well too.
