To Find Stolen Goods
Place two keys in a sieve cross ways.
Two people hold the sieve while another makes a crossed sign on the forehead of the suspected thief, calling out their name loudly three times.
If the person is innocent the keys will remain stationary; but if the person is guilty the keys will start to revolve slowly round the sieve.
Note: this is an adaptation of a christianised charm. Source version can be found in Ancient Legends, Mystic Charms and Superstitions of Ireland. By Lady Wilde. 1888.
