See the intended outcome as if it’s here now, or right around the corner and forming in reality right now. The name is less important than the outcome. Your intention needs to be focused on the outcome to put the energy into it.
Attention only tells energy where to go. Intention tells it what to do when it gets there. Miss that and they’ll get an influx if unfocused energy that might just as well build them up as curse them. Energy is intelligent and works to peoples highest good, if you don’t tell it to be baneful it might not.
Yes and it seems really conducive to put in gratitude. Being thankful that situation is as you want sends a really strong message to the universe about what shape it’s in.
I do this after every spell and ritual. Every one i do with gratefulness at the end is completed way faster and with more powerful results. Its basically a way to ensure the success of a ritual depending ofc on circumstances and external factors. Where your ritual may of failed with all things lined up for it to work, gratefulness takes it that extra distance.
The point of Glasya-Labolas lies in the most realistic event possible, which is ultimately in your favor as the caster.
So even if it takes a while to happen, it’s the most ideal.

Last night my friend had a tornado very close to their house, so I called upon Furfur and basically said “I give you my greatest appreciation and gratitude for taking the storm away from my friend” and after I was finished, my friend was telling me that the tornado had moved far from their house
Point being, I absolutely do understand the need for appreciation when calling upon demons
