CURSED BREAD

In ancient times cursed bread was used in divination to find a guilty person.

A piece of bread that would be about an once in weight would be given to the suspected person.

The piece of bread would have a spell caste over it.

If the person became sick he was regarded as guilty. If he remained fine then he was innocent.

Often barley bread was used for this as it often caused choking or the person may be allergic to it.
