First, you may wish to determine if you have actually been jinxed,
hexed, crossed, or cursed or if you are just imagining it. 

     One way to do this is to compare your symptoms against those  
         of others and also against symptoms for medical and 
         psychological disorders. 

     Another way is to look for motive, method, and opportunity: 

         Do you simply have a vague "feeling" that all is not right, 

         or has someone you know verbally cursed you 

         or might they have a motive to curse you, 

             and be capable of doing so 

             or of hiring the work done? 

Second, you may also wish to perform an augury (divination) of some kind
to determine if you have been affected by occult means and, if so, by
whom.

Third, you may wish to perform a ritual cleansing to take off the
trouble.

Fourth, you may wish to perform 

    a ritual of protection or shielding to prevent this from 
       happening to you again 

and/or 

    a ritual banishment of the person who did this from your life

and/or 

    a ritual that results in binding the power of the one who 
       has thus affected you so that he or she cannot perform such an   
       act again on anyone

and/or 

    a reversing spell to send whatever the person did back 
       to affect him or her

and/or 

    a reformation spell to cause the person who did this to regret
       doing harmful work and to cease from it henceforth.

Fifth, beyond this, one gets to concepts like revenge and retribution,
which, i assume, you have labelled "black magic" and wish to avoid. 

For a detailed desription of these steps of action, plus numerous spells
for performing cleansings, protections, revsing, and so forth, 
please see the following web pages. They are archives of spells and
information about spellcraft and they do not equire trhat you purchase
