As a rule I perform once daily the New Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram which was written by a Frater Osiris.
One could say that the NBRP is a Thelemic version, which it is, but I think that a better term would be "New Aeonic version." Why? The paradigm of the previous aeon, that of the dying and resurrecting god, and people saw God as something ultimately outside of themselves. The paradigm of the new aeon, that of the crowned & conquering child, who is none other than the sworded & crowned sphinx, is one where people realize that they are God made manifest. And so in the NBRP we begin the Qabalistic Cross with Eheyeh ("I Am") instead of Atah ("You are"). The new aeon does not require one to adhere to Thelema; if one resonates with its energies, that of Leo-Aquarius, then that is already enough. So, anyone, Thelemite or not, can use the NBRP if they are in resonance with the paradigm of the new aeon.
I look forward to discussion about this Lapis Philosophorum that we call the LBRP. =)
I have descended, O my darling, into the black shining waters, and I have plucked Thee forth as a black pearl of infinite preciousness. - III:60 / Liber 65
