Usually when babies who've passed on show up in my consultations it's to tell their mothers to forgive themselves. Badimo also show up to ask their descendants to forgive themselves for abortions because they understand why that choice was made.

It's always such a compassionate energy. Often nothing more than a "You didn't irrevocably ruin everything, nobody's mad". Sometimes the abortion will be so deeply repressed or from so long ago that it takes a second to acknowledge but when that forgiveness lands? It's love.

So the "Every time you abort a child you anger your ancestors and turn them against you" fire and brimstone brigade is just v funny style to me because I've seen that to not be big facts. Life is long and complex and Badimo know that but personal politics may not.

Do you know how many boys/men weaponize fertility, the various ways how and what the repercussions are fr, in this realm and the next? My friend, please. Phalaza, o tlhatse the internalized misogyny.
