I've been experimenting with Barbarous Words lately. I'm pretty certain that's what the practice is called: the use of tongues to manipulate the energies and control the Will free of the clumsy constraints of actual language, verbalizing the sounds that come to mind automatically when willing an intention or holding a sigil/totem/item.

The exercises I've done have had consistent effects at stirring up a kind of "whirlwind" of energy around me, and has been working well at inducing trance, but I haven't achieved anything past that. Admittedly I haven't read too much on the subject, anecdote or publication.

Has anyone else had any success with this technique? Any advice or tips?

There is (to me) a difference between this (speaking in tongues basically) and barbarous words. The latter (i think..) are always distorted and miscopied old words. I think it started when someone found an old stone tablet with some words he could pronounce and some he couldn't. And maybe didn't know the meaning of either. The former is a thing in demonolatry (as far as I know) and people don't want it to have a meaning that can be verified.
Maybe watch a video on "light language" or similar.
