The Thief Stave (Þjófastafur in Icelandic), is one of the most common types of magical symbol in the Icelandic paradigm, with multiple variants across the surviving grimoires. The Huld Manuscript records one version with the instruction to carve the stave under the doorstep of a suspected thief: he will recoil when he steps over it if he is guilty of theft. The original manuscript source of this design states:

“To know who has stolen from you. Carve this stave on the inside and outside of a washing bowl with wood or lead while the moon is full and tide is at its highest. Some carve on killing-wood or a lead tablet with an unused steel knife that was made between daybreak and matins on a Sunday. Lay it under your head and you will see the thief. Say Pater Noster first when you wake up, but think well of the thief when falling asleep and do not pray for yourself.”
