Someone has put a spell on you.

Of course, there is no hard evidence of the existence of such things, but that doesn’t stop those who believe from taking protective measures. Black magic, also known as dark magic, involves using evil spirits, supernatural powers, or magick for nefarious and selfish purposes. Black magic specifically refers to the seven magical arts prohibited by canon law, including:
- Nigromancy (necromancy/demonology): Ritual sacrifice involving blood or animal corpses
- Geomancy: Divination where a person casts sand, stone, or dirt and reads the shapes
- Hydromancy: Divination using water as a medium to see illusions within
- Aeromancy: Divination involving tossing sand, dirt, or seeds in the air and studying the dust patterns of the settling of seeds; also involves thunder, comets, falling stars, and cloud shapes
- Pyromancy: Signs and patterns derived from patterns of flames
- Chiromancy: Reading palms, intuition, and symbolism with ties to astrology
- Scapulimancy: Divination using an animal’s scapula, breaking it, and using it to read the future
Similar to white magic, black magic has primitive, ritualistic worship of spirits, but there are some key differences between the two. White magic seeks to get close to spiritual beings and uses spells as a form of healing, but black magic uses those spirits to the practitioner’s own benefit and comes from a dark and negative place.
Author Robert M. Place wrote a 2009 book called Magic and Alchemy, where he describes white and black magic as "high" and "low" based on the intent behind each practice. If you believe in magic and witchcraft, it is essential to protect yourself from evil forces. There are physical, mental, and emotional signs that might tell you that someone is doing witchcraft to you and that black magic is being used to disrupt your peace.
Here are 7 chilling signs you’ve been targeted by dark energy or black magic:
1. You experience headaches

A headache can be a sign that someone has placed a negative spell on you. These kinds of headaches are random and inexplicable. But beware that headaches are also associated with various conditions and illnesses such as stress, weather, noise, and diet.
According to spiritualist and hex breaker Oshun, any general issues with the mind, including headaches, inability to focus, and brain fog, might actually be suggestive of a witchcraft attack instead of ordinary stress or exhaustion.
2. You have frequent nightmares

Another symptom of black magic or witchcraft directed at you is the presence of horrifying nightmares. You might have dogs, snakes, or other creatures chasing you in your dreams. Remember that stress and anxiety can also make you have nightmares. Trauma, insomnia, and specific medications can be an underlying cause as well.
According to Linda Yael Schiller, a body, mind, and spiritual psychotherapist, sometimes the stress and panic from our days seep into our nights. Before connecting your disturbing dreams to dark forces, she recommends examining your current stress levels, news consumption, and sleep environment.
3. You suffer from body aches and pains

Everyone has experienced an ache or pain somewhere in their body at some point. Some spiritual people believe that bodily nuisances like back pain indicate that you are being targeted by black magic. But it is important to keep in mind that there are a plethora of medical conditions that can cause pain, so see a doctor and rule them out.
Dr. Karin Monster-Peters, a psychologist and energy healer, explained that these pains are often described as having an almost electric quality, as if energetic needles are being pushed into your energy field, and they may migrate around your body or concentrate in specific chakra points.
4. You feel lethargic

Black magic is thought to be a cause of some lethargy that people experience, leaving them ready to fall asleep constantly and feel dizzy. Tiredness can also attributed to illnesses like anemia, chronic fatigue syndrome, diabetes, sleep apnea, as well as lifestyle and medication.
Stress depletes many of the minerals and vitamins necessary to help the body function, shutting down your ability to digest the nutrients you do take in. Without proper digestion and absorption, you cannot convert food to the energy you need to keep going, explains spiritual coach Susan Dykes.
5. You feel negatively toward your romantic partner

Victims of black magic often report feeling negatively toward their partners and experience a change in their commitment. They might have misplaced feelings of devotion or obedience to someone else.
However, relationships can end or take a downward turn for many reasons unrelated to black magic, like cheating, financial problems, and a lack of compatibility. According to Nicola Beer, a couples counselor, loss of attraction typically stems from relationship boredom, taking partners for granted, and a lack of deliberate effort to maintain excitement and connection.
6. You keep experiencing misfortune

If you live in the world long enough, you’ll find the luck ebbs and flows. Sometimes it seems nothing can go wrong, and other times it feels that whatever can go wrong will. It could be black magic, or it might just be part of the normal ups and downs of life. Keep the big picture in mind and know that this, too, shall pass.
When people start counting their misfortunes, it can feel like they're stuck in a never-ending cycle of doom. Casino analyst Jamie Wall explained that instead of enjoying life's ups and downs, they focus on every little mishap as part of a bad luck trilogy.
7. Your eating habits change randomly

Black magic is believed to affect the way you eat. You might start binge-eating, unable to satisfy your appetite. Or you may lose your desire to eat, missing out on nutrients.
Increases and decreases in your need to eat can also be a side effect of other things, like menstruation, mental health issues, and medications.
How to protect yourself against black magic attacks: If you believe emphatically that black magic has permeated your life and is causing big problems, you should try a few things to rid yourself of the negative energy that has been attached to you.
Pray for protection: Those who are religious or believe that there is a higher power know that God is the most powerful force you can align with. Call on Him, or a higher power, for favor and protection against any black magic cast on you. Then allow God to fight your battles for you, trusting that He will deliver.
Do a cleanse: A warm salt bath can do wonders when it comes to clearing bad energy or ill intention from your orbit. While you bathe, burn white candles to push away bad spirits and recite affirmations that ground you and heal whatever is ailing you.
Question your beliefs: What you believe in becomes reality. The best way to break a spell, curse, or hex that you think has been placed on you is to simply stop believing in black magic.
If you tell yourself that witchcraft isn’t real enough, you will start to disbelieve that anyone has the power to interrupt your life.
