There is no need of trapping or binding elemental spirits (or any kind, for that matter) as that is deeply offensive and rude. All you need to do is simply call upon someone who is already there and treat them kindly. You'd be amazed at how much more effective this is.
Also, any spell that isn't absolutely ridiculous can work for you. Spells and Magick are only labeled as a part of a faction, but the core of what you are doing is the same as what everyone else does. Spells are a combination of two things: intent and energy.
Actually, this is a summoning spell. You summon that spirit, to borrow its powers. After that, you show to it a lot of respect on its offerings of knowledge. The spirit is not trusting in the beginning, but by respect and common projects, the spirit will become one with you, and you'll have it's power. That means your mastery. After that you are doing the same process and you create the fifth eye and etc. I agree with your advise, but this is how it goes.

It is not trusting because it is trapped and bound initially (thus being a common practice of evocation). Ask for its presence, provide offerings, invoke it rather than evoking it, and spirits do tend to be more cooperative.
Some eldritch spirits do enjoy the formalities of evocation, however, seeing it as a display of one who is worth dealing with while outwardly putting up a grumpy front.
That being said, to examine elemental energies, learn of them, and utilize them, you needn't evoke or invoke a spirit but can instead explore the energy itself. Examine the qualities of the element, familiarize yourself with its purpose so that you can "feel" it when you evoke/invoke and you can dispense with the need to harness or otherwise deal with a spirit, and instead work directly with the energy/element.
Working with an elemental, or spirit, can be quite fruitful in its own right though.
I would point out that these are basic, traditional magical practices that have existed for centuries. Examine works by Eliphas Levi or Henry Cornelius Agrippa to better understand the occult properties of the elements and their purpose in magic.
As someone asked "why wouldn't we be Wiccan, and be called elemental guardians after we did this?" I would point out that you can be whatever you want. Calling yourself an elemental guardian is perfectly fine, albeit a bit dramatic and silly and superfluous. You would still be wiccan, if that is the religion you practice, after performing this ritual.
You still insist to I say lies. I'm not a liar, I never was. Anyway, I cannot prove you to believe me, if you won't try it. The shadows of doubt, are around you and ready to eat you. A lot of members of this site, has a very great success on it. You cannot throw away all of my research because you doubt and not only that. You put history inside just to reclaim to others that you are right. Well you are not. So, if you doubt and you don't wanna see something that's unknown to you, just go away and leave me alone to show who are interested to learn. Understand?
Can the spirit be set free?,i meant how can one undo the spell,because my grandpa warned me never to trap a spirit inside of me,what if it possess your body?
Not exactly. The dark spirits, are to curse someone by entering one inside to the person you wanna curse. The elemental spirits, are spirits who they don't want to harm anyone. They are pure spirits. I believe you understand.

I can't believe how many of you are backing up WindyOne. We are not calling him a liar, we are explaining that his research is similar to past research and can be found across the globe under different names.
We do, however (AwakeTooLong and I, not speaking for all mods) believe that there is a certain way to go about things that are simply easier to do as well as more respectful. You don't gain power, you learn as the spirits teach, thus expanding your own knowledge and energy.
For example, if someone goes around being snappy to others in the universe, someone's bound to snap back (my personal view).
Eiskora, you don't understand nothing too. The spirit is not draining all of your energy to teach you. It has energy on its own and helps you to get more. This research is mine and I'm sharing it with everyone. You should try it to understand, but it seems most of you moderators are nothing else from lawyers that brings others away from something new and unknown to you. This is white magic, is not hurting no one, I made sure. The only thing that left to some of you is to try it.
