The early celebrations associated with Mardi Gras honored the abundant, earthly pleasures of Bacchus and Venus. We can celebrate our current pleasures, and as well we can anticipate future pleasures, with this spell. To do so, gather a pen and paper, a glass of wine or juice, and a plot of personal indoor or outdoor earth. On your paper, list the pleasurable gifts that are present in your life as well as the gifts that you would like to attract into your life. Offer a toast of celebration and honor to these gifts. Bury your paper in the soil, thanking the earth for protecting your present abundance and for the offering future nourishment and abundance. Give the remaining wine as a gift to the earth.
