Rastafarianism
How this religion came to be: On the island of jamaica a bunch of christians came together around a
camp fire. Not having any wood to burn they unknowingly threw massive amounts of weed aka(ganja, hemp, mary jane)into the flame. The high that followed lasted for days, and days and days. At this time period, there was a restaurant called
Zion. Being that they had the munchies for a month, they ate massive amounts of food at
Zion's. The favorite menu item was jahfries. However, massive constipation soon followed the ingestion of said item. The only cure for this type of constipation was to dig JahRoots up out of the ground. Thus,
Rastafarians around the world love jah roots, and wish to get to Zion, where jahfries are abundant.

Origins in Jamaca and deeply rooted in africa culture, this religion was the medium for those who opposed the oppression of Babylon, to speak out and live a
rightious life as it is written, whilst beeing proud of their own roots and movements.
Rasta eat a diet of veg fruit and fish, keep their bodies mind and sould healthy by staying active in global issues, and moving to brake the shackles of
Babylons oppression. One method to this freedom is Ganja, which is believed to have gorwn on King Solomons' grave. Ganja lets the Rasta see what Babylon denies because of their greed and corruption. (Babylon refers directly to
white oppression against the black ppl at the time of this movement; and now represents global oppression and repression).
Example:
"say I hear the voice of a
rastaman say, babylon yo' throne gone down..."
I and I 'no one love;
yag't one fear: JAH Rastafari

A common religion amongst black jamaicans that look up to the past
Ethiopian emperor
Haile Selassie. One of their most famous acts is to smoke marijuana as a symbol of religious practice. To be
rastafarian one doesn't have to be black in fact to be rastafarian it has to come from the heart. Another famous practice is that of dreads on their heart.

a made up term most likely by
white rasta. RASTAFARI and rastafarianism are not the same, because rasta

skism.
Example:

InI: what rastafarianism?
ini nah deal wit rastafarianism, ini only deal with
rastafari! Seen? Rasta no ism n
skism, rasta jus rastafari.

but controversial part of
the movement's religious practice is the smoking of ganga, or marijuana, as a sacrament to achieve spiritual enlightenment. The physical appearance of
Rastafarians is distinguished by uncombed, coiled hair known as dreadlocks, which symbolizes the mane of the Lion of Judah (one of
Haile Selassie's titles), and the wearing of red, black, green, and gold. Most Rastafarians follow special diets and many are vegetarians.

The adherents of
rastafarianism. And the rastafarianism is a religious cult, originally of Jamaica, that regards Africa as
the Promised Land, to which all true believers will someday return, and the late
Haile Selassie I, former emperor of Ethiopia, as the messiah.
