Thought I would share....I will post the source at the end.
Most spiritual work involves writing a petition, prayer request or giving some sort of written instruction to the Spirit. If you think about it, in most works the written record or request of your intentions is the foundation of the work. In a magic lamp, the ingredients being used are piled up on top of the paper identifying the lamp's target. In candle burning spells, the candle is placed on top of the paper describing what the petitioner desires.
Name papers are used when you are working on a specific person. When performing works like "Come to Me", "Commanding", "Compelling", "Stay with Me", "Pay Me Now" or any type of work that manipulates or changes another you should write the name of the target onto paper. Name papers are also used in all types of Court Case work and spells designed to coerce your boss into giving a raise or promotion. They are also used in crossing, revenge and break up works.
SELECTING THE RIGHT PAPER
For those rituals designed to bless, heal or uncross an individual use unlined, white typing paper or parchment paper.
For work designed to cross or manipulate another, most folks use brown paper, which is easily procured from a brown paper grocery bag.
TREATING THE PAPER RIGHT
For those rituals designed to bless, heal or uncross an individual, you may cut the paper into a square if you are not using a standard 8.5 x 11.5 sheet.
For work designed to cross or manipulate another, you should write whatever you are going to and then carefully tear the paper into a square so that the edges of the sheet are "rough".
WRITING THE NAMES
You need to write the name of anyone you are working on. Try to use the person's full name - that means any and all names that were given to them at birth.
Write the person's name the appropriate number of times based on your work. Generally you want to write the target's name seven (7) times if drawing and nine (9) times if manipulating them. The minimum number of times the target's name should be written is three (3).
For blessing work, use dove's blood ink, blue ink pen or blue China ink. For manipulating, use Dragon's Blood ink or a lead pencil. For crossing and or revenge, use black ink pen, lead pencil or Bat's Blood ink. For any type of love works use a red ink pen or Dove's Blood ink.
CROSSING AND COVERING THE NAME
No matter what you write over the top of the name you need to turn the paper 90 degrees to the right or the left. If you are drawing or blessing, turn the paper 90 degrees to the right. If you are removing or sending something or someone away, turn the paper 90 degrees to the left and write the command over the name.
Sometimes, you want to cross and cover the target's name with your name in order to establish supremecy over the person. You might use this method for "Boss Fix" work or to force someone to give you employment or a raise. You might use this technique on your husband or mate, when you want to wear the pants in the family. You could write your business name over the business name of your competition, in order to win contracts or draw more customers. In any situation where you need to come out on top or master another, it is appropriate to write your name on another's. Just remember, that when you add your name to a paper, you are building a spiritual connection between you and the target.
Remember that the name paper is the foundation of your work. It is the directions you are giving the Spirit. It is the target of your energy. Take your time, do it right and focus on your intentions while writing.
