Modern magic(k) is a contrivance of the new age. This is a recommendation: I would pay very little attention to this way of getting closer to elementals. What you need is a proper understanding of the elementals as a whole (from Old System Magic) then move to the application of Transcedental Magic within your Magical Chamber ONLY, obeying the rules all the while--avoid mixing systems as well, if you please (this is assuming you have established a baseline for your work). You will see there is no need for 'going outside' and 'getting in the mood' with the 'elements.' All will occur NATURALLY and as a result of your work that will bring about RESULTS. The rest, in my opinion, and feel free to disagree as much as you'd like, is a part of the nonsense that plagues the so-called 'magical' community of today. You may encounter troubling phenomenon as a result, so please make sure to be careful with these beings--control is crucial! It may prove to be costly since their manifestation is so in accord with their proper natures of air, fire, water, and earth. Forewarned is forearmed, I always say--but do what you want--I'm NOT here to convince anyone--just to tell you what WORKS consistently and WITHOUT failure.
