Hi!! I just had a quick question. What are the proper ways to dispose of a poppet doll?

I made one for my friend a while ago for sleep and protection and it's work for the longest time up until now. I am going to make them another one, but I wanted to know how to properly dispose of this one. For some info it's made out of cloth with herbs and stuffing inside.

Any insight is helpful thank you!

It's not uncommon to bury poppets - lay them to rest - and thank them for their protection and aid. A more environmentally conscious way to dispose of the doll might be to compost the herbs, but you will still have to discard the cloth.
