Haile Selassie,Emperor of Ethiopia, 1930-1974
Name at birth: Tafari Makonnen Regent to the Empress Zauditu from 1916, Ras (Prince) Tafari Makonnen succeeded her to the throne of Ethiopia in 1930, proclaiming himself Haile Selassie ("Might of the Trinity"). An autocratic ruler, he modernized Ethiopia and led the resistance against Italian invasion (1935). Selassie was exiled in 1936, but restored to power in 1941 with the assistance of the Allies in World War II. By the 1970s the region's droughts and famines had taken their toll and Selassie began to lose popular support. He was deposed in a military coup in 1974 and died while under arrest. His remains were found in 1992 beneath a toilet in the Imperial Palace, and in 2000 he was interred in the Trinity Cathedral in Addis Ababa. Haile Selassie, who claimed to be a direct descendant of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, is the object of veneration in the religion of Rastafarianism (see also: Marcus Garvey)... Selassie was also known as "The Lion of Judah" and "King of Kings"... He traveled with a pet chihuahua named Chicheebee.

Di indonesia sendiri ada sebuah fenomena rambut gimbal yang sangat sakral. Dipercaya masyarakat lereng gunung Dieng bahwa anak yang berambut gimbal adalah anak yang harus mendapatkan perhatian lebih. Sehingga apapun yang dia minta sebelum rambut gimbalnya di potong harus dipenuhi. Proses pemotongan rambut gimbal di sini memerlukan rangkaian acara ritul. diantaranya adalah proses penyucian. Proses ini dilakukan menggunakan air dari Maerokoco yang dipercaya sebagai sumber sungai serayu. selanjutnya rambut tersebut akan di larungkan ke sungai sebagai pengembalian kepada Nyai Ratu Kidul. 1308917891448351727 Pasuntri dengan rambut gimbal (Photo Pribadi) Meski demikian, adanya para komunitas Dreadlock (gimbal) di Indonesia, adalah komunitas yang terinspirasi dari kaum kulit hitam di Jamaika. Bukan dari kepercayaan yang ada di lereng gunung Dieng. Pada umumnya komunitas ini adalah penggemar musik Reggae.

Why Did Bob Marley Smoke Marijuana?

Well, it certainly was not to provide inspiration to thousands of suburban teenagers after his death, that's pretty clear. Marley himself used marijuana ("ganja") as a religious sacrament, and advocated for the rights of Rastas to smoke marijuana for that reason. The question is, is there irony in the fact that hordes of teenaged middle-class Americans semi-worship Marley as an iconic pot smoker, when in fact the Rastafarian belief system views middle-class America as Babylon, an evil world built on the back of centuries of slavery and African oppression?
I'm inclined to think that Marley would've appreciated the worldwide respect that his music still garners, and would be happy to know that his messages of peace, pacifism, and social justice continue to ring out, but I can't quite bring myself to think that he would've approved of all the gratuitous and casual usage of marijuana in his "honor" that happens all over the world, mostly by non-Rastas (and sometimes by young quasi-Rastas, who often seem to be trying to rationalize their illegal behavior by a half-hearted adherence to just one or two tenets of the religion). What do you think? Leave a comment and join the conversation!
