Burning the prayer in the dedication ritual

Hi all, I'm new here :)

As many others, I am wondering about the dedication ritual used to
make a formal commitment to Satan. I really wish to do this, but the
main obstacle is the burning of the paper where the prayer is written
on. I'm aware of this being a sign of respect, but having a very nosy
family(which are not xian, but worried about me going insane), I'm
kind of stuck on this one. I will, of course, use a candle in the
ritual, but I'm afraid of causing a ruckus because of smoke, smell and
such. The only time I can do the dedication, would be after I have
bathed(on the bathroom), and burning the prayer there would be... hmm,
fatal(especially if you think about neighbors, the smell on the
bathroom, and the small window).

The question is:
Is it entirely necessary to burn the prayer after the dedication ritual?
I do not intend to be disrespectful and throw the prayer in the
garbage, but merely keep it until I feel am safe enough to burn it.
Would this be alright, you think?

Thanks in advance, and I apologise for the long read.
Have a good day :)

On a sidenote:
I have found that this is the right religion for me, and I feel a
sense of peace in my solar plexus(where my emotions are usually
felt^^) whenever I read about Father Satan and the topics related to
him, which I have not felt before.

*** You should burn the paper as this is "formalizing" and concluding
the ritual. I fully understand the constraints, as I went through
exactly the same. Maybe wait till nobody's home?

***You could also do the ritual outdoors, in a spot that is secluded.

***Great. Glad to hear it. It's almost like a calling that we have.
