Elemental Magick Options

I was curious i anyone could maybe post up a class lesson on elemental practices and working with the elements ie sylphs,salamanders,gnomes,undines. I really have been wondering about how to go about working with them and just being able to communicate with them in my everyday life i feel a great connection to the elements. But i do not really know how to go about practicing with them please help. Any information on this would be great just please dont put up websites like angelfire i dont find alot of these to be very helpfull just information i already know on them i would really like help from the community and those who have worked with the elemts themselves. Maybe your experiences etc. Thanks in advance to any responses or help.

They do say that fairies are elementals of air, which they could be, I've not asked.
I don't remember working with fairies magically but their have been times when their perspective and insight have been invaluable.
I get the impression that they deal with the decomposition of dead things, an most of the lore about their desired homes are to do with certain combinations of British tree's,
although i'm sure the american equivalents are their, but any composting materials with a variety of healthy old trees around is a good place to start.

So far as i can tell gnomes are Created. Usually in clay or cement, an thus earthy with an inquisitive and nature gardener trickster type persona.
Like a mini specialist-wizard.

I think personifying anything helps in someway, but personifying something thats their helps more.
I think that communication with them would be best handled by ritually involving them in the process of creating their image + persona, letting them impower themselves with your minds perspective of them,
form is a very mutable thing in their world.

Fire seems alive to me, in varying quantity's, can't see why you would need to see it in any particular form, but i had an enchanted candle that i would see a fiery snake weaving around within.

Sounds like you want to have a more active communication with these forces so it might be a good idea to read book about channeling.
