I do have a question, speaking of burning rituals. Any thoughts on the paper used? I have learned not to use post-its. I am trying to avoid inhaling potentially harmful chemicals – sometimes I write a letter so my pieces are on the larger side.

@mary25 I have used unbleached writing parchment paper for burning. The bleached paper will release toxins when burning

Hey @mary25 
I hope you don’t mind, but I moved your question to its own thread so more eyes can see it and give you an answer! I have thoughts, but I’m getting ready to head to the eye doctor. I’ll answer when I get back!

Huh, I never thought of that! I usually use notebook paper but that’s bleached and lined. Good question!

That is a good question @mary25, I never thought of that. I usually just use a writing pad with lines on them from Cambridge.

@mary25 hi I personally use tissue paper for spell that require burning paper. It burns fast and completely. Also it’s cheap lol.

Aww thanks! As for an answer to your question, I’ve usually always just burned what I had around me. If all I had was a sticky note, I would use it. The thing with burning things is that, no matter what you burn, there will always be smoke around and chemicals that you inhale. I’m a big fan of use what you’ve got

Over the last few years, I have used parchment, tissue paper, and paper from pulling apart non-glossy or painted cardboard boxes. Scraps of cotton fabric work well also. when I had my woodshop I would also save planing shavings that were long and thin.
