ritually, burning can do at least two things - eliminate something, or surrender it to the divine - think of the ancient greeks burning a choice slice of meat for the gods as a gift to them. i am using it, with conscious intention (the intention matters), in that way. sometimes it doesn't feel right to me, too, hence the compost! which is always a return to the soil, the earth, the cycle of growth. everything composts. :)
