Rastafarians live a peaceful life, needing little material possessions and devote much time to contemplating the scriptures. They reject the white man's world, as the new age Babylon of greed and dishonesty. Proud and confident Rastas even though they are humble will stand up for their rights. Rastas let their hair grow natually into dreadlocks, in the image of the lion of Judah. Six out of ten Jamaicans are believed to be Rastafarians or Rastafarian sympathizers. The total following is believed to be over 1000 000 worldwide. 1975 to the present has been the period of the most phenomenal growth for the Rastafarian Movement. This growth is largely attributed to Bob Marley, reggae artist, and the worldwide acceptance of reggae as an avenue of Rastafarian self-expression. Marley became a prophet of Rastafarianism in 1975. The movement spread quickly in the Caribbean and was hugely attractive to the local black youths, many of whom saw it as an extension of their adolescent rebellion from school and parental authority. With it came some undesirable elements, but all true Rastas signify peace and pride and righteousness.this my man is only a brief insight..Ja,,with you

Just wondering, knew lots of rastas in my youth,(once dated and lived with a guest guitar player in Black Uhuru) and, as far as I remember, the rastas had lots of women, but they would choose one woman to live with and have children with, calling her "baby mama". Is my memory accurate? And if so, is this a common practice? I was just trying to remember..that's all...thanks.

I have some distant recollection of that practice I do know Rastas have more than one woman for diff.purposes cooking, soul partner, and most likley Baby Mama...

Do a search in Google for Rasta Nicks forum, theres lots of information about Rasta'a there.

I checked out Rasta Nick's forums and the role that women play in the Rasta religion are to be servants to their men. They are for child-bearing, making the food, cleaning, so on. YIKES!

Uuum, first off you have to be black. So, if you are then visit Rasta Nick's forum and I'm sure you'll find whatever information you need. If you can't find the info in the forums, then you can email Nick with any questions. And if you are white, then you can still visit the forums for info but you won't be able to become a true Rasta, just a wanna-be (which I'm sure is very disrespectful of Rasta religion!).
