| Photos |  | Stolen Pants Simon had a pair of his pants stolen. The thief, a farmhand named Hans Phillip Appold who worked for the brewer Michael Grübner, was sentenced to five days in the tower for the crime. But Simon himself was also fined 3 fl. because he had used "forbidden superstitious things" to find the thief, namely using Scissors and Sieve. |
 | Scissors and Sieve Scissors and Sieve, or Coscinomancy as it was also known, is divination performed by suspending a grain sieve from a pair of shears. After an invocation, the names of potential thieves are read aloud, and if the sieve turns, the person is guilty. This practice was also seen in 17th century New England. |
