When Something Feels Wrong But You Cannot Name It
There is a feeling that brings many of my clients to my door — a deep, persistent sense that something is fundamentally wrong, yet no conventional explanation fits. Doctors find nothing. Therapists cannot identify a clear psychological cause. Friends and family suggest stress or overthinking. But the feeling remains: something has changed, something external is affecting you, and you need to understand what it is.
In African traditional healing, we take this feeling seriously. The instinct that something spiritual is at work is, in my experience, rarely wrong. The human spirit has a natural sensitivity to the energetic forces that surround it, and when that sensitivity fires an alarm, it deserves investigation rather than dismissal.
Here is a comprehensive guide to recognising the signs that a spell has been cast on you, and what you can do about it.
Physical Signs That a Spell May Be Present
Spells that target a person's physical body or vitality often manifest in ways that conventional medicine struggles to explain. The following physical signs are commonly associated with spiritual interference:
- Unexplained illness: Persistent symptoms — pain, fatigue, headaches, skin conditions, digestive problems — that do not respond to medical treatment and have no clear physical cause
- Sudden weight changes: Rapid and unexplained weight loss or gain, often accompanied by a change in appetite
- Unusual marks on the body: Bruises, scratches, or marks that appear without explanation, particularly upon waking
- Physical sensations: A crawling sensation on the skin, pressure on the chest, a feeling of hands on the body when no one is present
Psychological and Emotional Signs
Spells frequently target the mind and emotions, because destabilising a person's mental state is an effective way to undermine every area of their life. Watch for these signs:
- Sudden depression: An onset of depression that is not linked to any life event or change in circumstances
- Intrusive thoughts: Thoughts that feel foreign — as if they do not belong to you — particularly thoughts of hopelessness, self-harm, or irrational fear
- Personality changes: Becoming uncharacteristically angry, paranoid, or withdrawn without identifiable cause
- Loss of will: A sudden inability to motivate yourself or find pleasure in things that previously brought joy
- Obsessive thinking about a specific person: If a love spell has been cast on you, you may find yourself unable to stop thinking about a particular individual, even if you had previously moved on from that relationship
Life Circumstances That Signal Spiritual Interference
Beyond the personal symptoms, there are patterns in life circumstances that strongly suggest a spell is at work:
- A sudden and dramatic reversal of fortune that began around the time of a falling-out or conflict with a specific person
- Money disappearing faster than it arrives, despite disciplined financial management
- Repeated failed relationships — new partners ending things suddenly and without clear reason
- Consistent bad luck with employment, business, or academic pursuits
- Accidents and near-misses occurring with unusual frequency
Dream Signs You Should Not Ignore
The dream world is particularly important in African spiritual tradition as a space where spiritual activity is visible. Dreams involving the following should be taken seriously:
- Being chased or attacked by an unknown figure
- Snakes or insects crawling on or inside your body
- Finding yourself trapped or bound in ways you cannot escape
- Seeing the face of a specific person repeatedly in dreams accompanied by feelings of fear or dread
- Dreams of water — particularly dark or dirty water — that leave you feeling disturbed
How to Confirm Your Suspicion
If you recognise multiple signs from this guide, the most reliable next step is to consult with an experienced traditional healer who can perform a proper spiritual diagnosis. Through divination and spiritual perception, a skilled healer can confirm whether a spell is present, identify its nature and origin, and prescribe the appropriate course of action.
I offer this diagnostic work as the first step for anyone who contacts me with concerns about spiritual interference. In many cases, we can identify the problem clearly within the first consultation and begin the removal process immediately.
What to Do Right Now
While awaiting proper spiritual consultation, there are steps you can take to begin protecting yourself. Avoid sharing food or personal items with anyone you suspect may mean you harm. Keep your living space clean and free of clutter, which creates space for negative energy to accumulate. Burn white candles in your home, as white light is a natural repellent of negative spiritual energy. Pray sincerely to your ancestors and ask for their protection. These measures will not remove an existing spell, but they can limit its expansion while proper removal is arranged.
