So far I've only played Ulm and Machaka and I haven't seen any indication of communion anywhere.

Communion master and slave require astral magic, which is why you won't see them with Ulm and Machaka.

2) A Global Enchantment has been cast in my current game. Something about an oak tree.
What effect does this have on my dominion and what can you do about it ?

Somebody has cast mother oak. This gives them +10 nature gems per turn.

Thanks for helping out so fast,
however your answer raises another question

From your answer I conclude that there can only be cast a limited amount of global enchantments.
Maybe something like 5 or 6 (until the Global Enchantment box is full I guess)
And the oldest GE is automatically removed/dispelled from the list.

Is that how it goes ?

Man, this game is good

There can only be 5 active globals, and if another is cast (by anyone), it may replace an existing one at random.

It's not entirely random, as far as I've seen. It seems to be more sadorandom than truly random.

There's only one of the developers which knows the real truth behind these secrets... but the other developers keep him locked inside in a dark closet where his food is passed to him under the iron door.

Only 5 global enchantments max at any one time, OK.

But if you cast another one (when there are already five out) can you be SURE your new GE will become effective and one of the older ones will be dispelled OR is there a chance your newly cast GE will not be able "to break into " the list ?

Yes.
