To contact elemental spirits
The dragon lives in every element. It flies in the wind, breaths fire, lives in a cave under the earth, flows like water and swims elegantly. It is the symbol of all the elements of creation gathered together into a same being that encompass all of their powers.
There is a goal to contacting elemental spirits. If it would be only for fantasy and leisure, we would not even speak of their utility. By being in contact with a being, you can experiment the traits of this being in yourself. We contact elemental spirits so that we can feel in our body, their virtues, their qualities, and even recognize their attributed flaw, so that we can become aware of our own flaws. We contact elemental spirits to grow with them.
Contrarily to other types of spirits, like angels, the elemental spirits do not obey to you because you did the ritual accordingly, with the good methods and formulas. They are attracted by the law of correspondence, like any other type of spirit, but they are also free, like humans. Their free-will obliges us to befriend them. They do not have to obey us, they only obey to their program, and they obey directly to a command of God. It would be pretentious of the human seeker to pretend being able to give them a command as God would do, and hope to be obeyed. This would only make them mad, and they would bestow a curse on you, not providing the help you requested.
When in contact with an elemental spirit, you must let them see your heart, your true intentions, your real self. They will sense you, and provide their friendship at the level you have developed your virtues and qualities. To attract the friendship of a water elemental, you must be flexible in your decisions, and not subject to paranoia. To attract a wind elemental, you must be quick in your mind, and be honest. Each elemental spirits are attracted by a virtue and offended by a vice.
Once contacted, they can provide information of their elemental functions, and help you in your process of transformation. A more advanced ritualist can be more precise on his demands, but your must remember that any greedy request will result in offending the elemental spirit. With a good heart, you will succeed in asking just about anything, if you address yourself to the type of spirit who can accomplish the request.
