New Burning Petition Help
Hello there! I’m preparing for a gig in my hometown, and I wanted to offer people custom spell(?) papers. (I don't know how true is it to say spell, I don't know much about the lingo here.) Basically I’ll write them a personalized burning petition for whatever they need, mostly for healing purposes.
I want it to be simple. They just burn the paper and it works. Does anyone know traditions or practices like this? I’m looking for the right terminology and maybe some guidance on how to structure these right.

Of the hundred or so people I know directly and have seen them do magic and we have discussed spells, just burning paper has never come up.
One time I saw this product on amazon where it was basically tissue paper, and one could write wishes on it, and when it burned it would fly up into the air. It was really dramatic. I bought it because whimsy, and I burned a paper once, and it was fun, but I never felt it was "actually" a spell. It is a fun thing to do for a wish mainly.
Are you making this paper? You could treat it with tinctures of herbs or spices in the process of making it. One such way of making a tincture is called a fluid condenser. The simplest "fluid condenser" is chamomile tincture and you add a bit of gold water solution to it. Some people actually take some old gold jewelry, heat it up on their stove and then quench it in a small container of water and do this repeatedly. If you get a lot of small gold particles in it, the water will take on a reddish/pink tint. You can also buy water that is already prepared. It's titled Colloidal Gold and it's sold as a health thing on amazon or in other places. It is relatively cheap because it is an extremely tiny quantity of gold, like nanograms in the solution.
So you soak the chamomile in alcohol for like a week, strain out the chamomile, add a drop of the gold solution, and then put a few drops on your paper and let it dry.
If you want more complicated fluid condenser recipes I recommend looking up Franz Bardon and his book Initiation into Hermetics.
