  1. rastafarianism

    Rastafarianism, also known as Rastafari, is a religious and social movement originating in Jamaica in the 1930s. It follows a belief system that venerates the former Ethiopian emperor Haile Selassie I as a manifestation of God, regards Africa as the promised land, and promotes a philosophy of peace, love, unity, and respect for all living things. Rastafarians often adhere to a natural lifestyle, which can include a diet free from processed foods and the use of dreadlocks. The culture is also known for its influence on reggae music.
