Spells using the 4 basic elements
Since the request has been made for some very basic spell work I have tried to put together four spells that work with the basic elements. Each one has been kept to a minimum for ease of doing, and in the hopes that you will find items already in your house rather than having to go out and buy things.
In all spell work we try to bring a result that will be healthy and appropriate to our physical, mental, and spiritual needs. It is most important that before any work is done you make sure that you are doing it in a manner that requires no loss to another person nor anything that will bring harm to another individual.
You are responsible for all your actions and everything you do will eventually return to you in some manner by at least three-fold.
First a short word about the use of color.

Color is used to help us visualize and maximize certain properties, events, and/or actions in our magical process.  White  can be used to replace any other color since it is actually the combination of all color within the human spectrum.   The question of black arises frequently.  I use it in candle magic for works of reflection, reduction, and reversal. There is no inherent evil quality to the color.  It is the color of night, as white is the color of day.   Silver and Gold are frequently used to represent the Moon and Sun, Goddess and God respectively.  As well as being used in many healing spells to attract the qualities of night and day.
A spell using the elemental quality of Air.
Using the aspect of air to actualize the magical process you can create a spell to help you open your powers of concentration so you can learn with more ease.
Take some yellow ½ inch ribbon and cut it into as many 18-inch lengths as you want.  Try not to use paper ribbon, try to use actual cloth ribbon.  Then sew a small bell to one end of each ribbon. 
On each strip of ribbon I will write this simple statement in permanent ink.

“With the ringing of this bell I will be reminded to listen with an open mind to the new information that is coming to me from the universe.”

Then take the ribbons and hang them on some of the trees around your yard where they will catch the air as it passes by them.  If you don't have a yard or trees, hang them in a doorway where people passing will set them to ringing.
A spell using the elemental quality of Fire.
Using the aspect of Fire to actualize the magical process you can create a spell to help you make some healthy changes in your currant life style.  This one is to help you stop smoking.
Use a red marking pen on parchment paper to write your  will concerning this action.

“To this end I will visualize the fire consuming the paper in flame and as it does so I will feel my need for tobacco becoming less and less.  I do this to promote better health for myself and those around me.”

Then wrap the paper into a tube and tie it securely with a piece of red ribbon about 3 inches long.  Placing this on a fire proof surface such as the BBQ  grill on the back porch, light the tube with a safety match or lighter, and let it burn to a fine ash. 
A spell using the elemental quality of Water.
Using the aspect of water to actualize the magical process you can create a spell that will help you in healing yourself.  This one is to help heal a nagging back pain that I have gotten from a pulled muscle.  You can use it for any pain.  (Please note that I do this not as a replacement for regular medical care, but as an adjunct to my spiritual healing of both body and mind.)
Use a simple metal strainer from the kitchen, a garden hose in the yard and some dirt that you have gotten from the garden bed.  Fill the strainer with the dirt and then balance it on some stones to keep it above the ground by about an inch or two clearance. As you let the water trickle from the hose over the dirt in the strainer visualize the your pain  lessening as the dirt is washed away.  Use the power of the water to lessen the reality of the pain. 
 
A spell using the elemental quality of Earth.
Using the aspect of earth to actualize the magical process you can going to create a spell to help to increase the amount of income that you are now receiving.  Use salt as the representation of the earth itself, since salt has such a long history of being worth its weight in trade and because it is a necessary element of our physical bodies.
Place a small dish of salt on your altar and on top of the salt place a dollar bill.  Set before that a small sheet of paper that contains your will about the outcome of the spell. (written in green marker)

“May this money increase for my needs , as long as it does not diminish another or in any way cause loss or harm to another being.  So Mote It Be.
