Layereed Rituals, and assigning a barbarous name to each later, with an anchor, so it can be instantly done

I have a list of daily rituals, and it seems to me that besides the standard Golden Dawn style opening and closing, and spiraling in and out of light, the Rose Cross Ritual to purify the space, and the Cabalistic Cross to purify the self.

It is the QC or Cabalistic Cross (autocorrect), that seems to be an additional opener and closer of a ritual, such as the LRP, or Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram.

Look at Liber Samekh, of Liber Israfel, the Headless/Bornless Rite, and what gestures and movement are done aside from the barbarous words. These must have at one time been a collection of small rituals merged into a gigantic ritual. I realize that with at least the Bornless Rite, that Enchain tablets and names are used, but this does not speak for the Headless Ritual or the opening of Liber Israel, or by what means the GD standard opening makes spirits obey.

So, I propose, with word and thought and gesture, in each ritual pertinent to that ritual and layer, but assigned a barbarous name in before closing of the specific ritual, to be one of many barbarous words called later. If this is LARPer/Harry Potter nonsense, then so be it.

My list of daily rituals:
Controlled Breathing (in hold out pause, first outer layer)
Relaxation Ritual (visualization of golden light to remove any pain or tension)
Cabalistic Cross (second outer layer)
Invoking the Four Powers of Earth ( a suped up Earth invoking LRP, third outer layer)
Ascent into Cube of Space (inner layer starts)
Rite of Elemental Equilibrium
Rising on the Planes Exercise
Lesser Ritual of the Hexagram, Saturn Invoking
Optional Personal Rite/Novena/Candle Ritual
Middle Pillar Exercise (inner layer ends, 5x godnawes, 10x circulations)
Banishing Four Powers of Earth (LBRP with divine names and kerubic signs, end of third outer layer)
Cabalistic Cross (Ends second outer layer)
Sign of silence
Ends first outer layer, do official closing

The question - How to assign a barbarous word/name to each rite, or at least each layer, with a different anchor gesture?
Then, how to combine the several barbarous names to accomplish the act with thought and word and gesture?
Can this be done?

There is also the daily IOB (Identify, Objectify, Banish) LRP that I use to banish as a form of protection; and three tarot rituals, one a contemplation ritual on a major key; the second split hexagram spread, and third Celtic cross spread.
These would not be practical, save the IOB, to include in the layered ritual or rituals, so they would be saved for card of the day and post ritual divination on success of the ritual.
The latter would be particularly interesting when only the barbarous words and anchor gestures are used.

daily IOB
That seems weird to me. The purpose of that ritual is to "give a face" to something that you want to remove from yourself - literally cut the cord that ties it to you.
If you are going to do that on a daily basis you are programming yourself or building the expectation that tomorrow you will have to cut the cord with it again (essentially saying that it will come back and latch on to you again when you're not looking)
You need to see it die. Don't do it and then say "see ya tomorrow!"

Good point. The LRP, not to mention the LRH as well should be more than necessary to subdue mot things or people , shouldn't they?
LRP = RHP Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram
LRH = RHP Lesser Ritual of the Hexagram
RHP = Right Hand Path (Hermetic groups)

The LBRP and LBRH are general rituals. They are fine for everyday use.

What I meant is that if you Identify something, Objectify it and then Banish it, it should be gone. You have created and given it life and taken it away after all. On occasion this ritual is great, but the finale of it should be the end.

Okay, I understand the point, and its a good one. Is there any possible benefit to layering rituals? The LBRP in itself does so by including the QC twice. Or at least using that as a signal as to start and end the contained ritual. So then, can barbarous names be applied to the call of a ritual, to give it greater power or more efficiency, and tied to a gesture?

Which barbarous names? Do you know what they mean - or what they mean to you - and what they do?

Not entirely, but the concept through revere of the Bornless Ritual as one such piece of work.
