Hours of the Tide: Thieves' Night

Sin-mother of sharpers and shylocks, sharks and showmen.

She is the Headless One, and all schemers love her,
She has no qualms, or troubled thoughts for those that come to bother.
Gambler
Thiever
Cheater
Deceiver
On this dark night, we built your altar.
We made an offering at your shrine;
of stolen coins and drugged wine.
A knife for the threat, a key if you're slick;
Loot from a bet, cards for the trick.
All I ask is you keep the ne'r do-wells from me,
And if I'm the swindler, let me get away free.

Or as Leland recounted in the Gospel of Witches:
"O Goddess Laverna,
Give me the art of cheating and deceiving,
of making men believe that I am just,
holy, and innocent! Extend all darkness
and deep obscurity over my misdeeds.
"
