Magic Forums

Hello I'm new to these forums though I have been coming here for years on and off.

I'm looking to do a road opening ritual with Ganesha. I was reading book by Ellen Dugan in which a spell invoking him was listed and she explained a little about his mythology along why Lakshimi's and why elephants are associated with them. After dosing off daydreaming a bit while reading the book a image came to me in my mind of Elephant or Elephants plowing there way through the jungle creating paths (kinda like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKRr_f85shA). I haven't been able to stop thinking about him since.

So recently I got a statue and made a little altar for him. I have the road opening oils, candle, and incense for him as well. Not really sure what to say or how to appeal to him persay. There's spell involving him in the book but that's all I have. Can you guys recommend any others or ways to work with him for this purpose?
