If you’re following this tutorial: Tutorial: Petition Spells
then it tells you:
After the final recitation, you dispose of the petition. This is usually done through the elements. You can burn it, or flush it, or cast it to the winds. In ancient Greece, because the petitions were to underworld spirits (and written on clay tablets), they were most often buried. If your intention is to remove something from your life, you could bury it, and, as the paper rots in the ground, so will your intention manifest.
Sometimes, the petition is not disposed of, but left on an altar until it manifests. In his book Sorcerer’s Secrets, Jason Miller talks about leaving a financial petition in a cash box consecrated to Jupiter until it manifests, and then disposing of it. In our example, if you had an altar devoted to Lucifer, then you could leave the petition there.
So you have multiple options and you take what feels good for you. I would add that you could also fold it and put it in your journal and then throw it away after it manifests.
Personally I burn them… outside, though as paper smokes a lot.
