The Rastafarian religion began in essence on November 2, 1930 with
the coronation of Ras Tafari, or as he was known from that day onward,
Haile Selassie I, as Emperor of Ethiopia. In his coronation ceremony,
Selassie was given many titles: King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Conquering
Lion of the Tribe of Judah, Elect of God, and Light of the World. Some
of these titles the Bible attributes to the Messiah. Selassie himself
was heir to an unbroken line of descent through 224 successive Ethiopian
Kings to the time of Solomon and Sheba, and the family of King David of
Israel. Pictures of Selassies coronation were a front-page item in
newspapers around the world, including Jamaica. Jamaicans, especially
those of African descent, perceived the image of the Duke of Gloucester
bowing before Selassie very symbolically. The effect was that in their
hearts and minds the white King of England was replaced by the black King
of Africa. It was only a matter of time before a black God followed.
The Rastafari ideology owes much to Jamaicas history of slavery,
racism, and exploitive agricultural economy. The origins of the key
concepts of the Rastafarian faith can be traced through four hundred
years of resistance against European slavery and the system of oppression
on which modern Jamaica has been built. People of African descent make
up the bulk of Jamaicas population but continue to come last in the
social rank, having little control over their own destiny. It was not
until 1944 that a black middle class could even claim to exist in
Jamaica. Even then, the small minority of black Jamaicans who were able
to rise above the poverty of the slums found they were still subject to
the States racist policies and discrimination against people of colour.
The Rastafarians see themselves as keepers of an ancient faith and
heirs to the messianic kingdom of Zion, or Ethiopia. The idealisation
of Ethiopia and Africa by the black people of Jamaica began with the
teachings of Marcus Garvey, but it was the Rastafari who embraced Africa
more than anyone else. What I find particularly interesting is that
while Garveys doctrine of repatriation is widely accepted by the
Rastafari, they generally look down upon anyone who attempts to return
to Africa by their own means. The Rastafari take a very patient outlook
towards repatriation, believing only an act of Jah God can effect
their return to Africa. As such, in the modern Rastafari culture,
repatriation has come to represent more than just a physical return to
Africa, and envolves a return to their African culture and the adoption
of positive images of blackness in opposition to the negative images
of the colonial British culture of the State.
The Rastafari interpret the Bible in terms of a black mans
experience, ever conscious of the oppression of Babylon levied against
the black man. Babylon is seen to be the root cause of the black mans
suffering and only once he is delivered unto Zion will he truly be free.
The forces of Babylon include both the church and state of Western
society, and the police, but the larger view of Babylon encapsulates a
whole complex of institutions that conspire to enslave the black man and
subjugate coloured peoples throughout the world. It is interesting to
note that the Rastafari believe the King James version of the Bible to
be one of the tools of oppression against them, proclaiming it a white
European blasphemy of their black history and faith.
Marijuana is a sacred herb to the Rastafari, enabling them to
reason and experience an open heart. The Rastafarians refer to the plant
as ganja, or more simply as the herb. The Rastafari consume marijuana
in a variety of ways and for different purposes. It is often used in
folk medicine, as the Rastafari report ganja to have thirteen different
medicinal properties. The Rastafarians who use ganja usually do so many
times a day, individually smoking large rolled joints or spliffs,
and communally smoking it in a large Chillum pipe in preperation for
group discussions of faith. While this frequent use of ganja is viewed
by the Rastafari to allow them to free their mind from the poison of
Babylon ideology, the result is that the Rastafarians are often
misperceived as drug abusers and criminals and subject to persecution.

The above were excerpts from a paper I wrote several years
katharsis
ago for a religious studies class while I was at UBC. The
remorse
title for this collection came from one of my favorite 12
royale
jungle dubplates, a Congo Natty white label Ive had in my
aske
collection for several years and continue to rinse out to
we can dr
this day. Its not the best dnb track I own, but it is
cybergod
an easy mix and the bassline really shakes some ass. Ive
antik
been spinning jungle since 97, playing out a couple times
crusader
a year when I feel like it. This collection is an attempt
pogue
to bring a little of that part of my life into my ascii.
cain
splonk
My thanks to Chrombacher and Poskgubbe for their guest art
acid
contributions to this collection. There was also supposed
hanibal
to be something from Talo, but I didnt want to harass him
mimic
about it as I know hes been as busy with school as I have
main menu
with lifes more monotonous tasks work, etc.
conferenc
file area
This marks my 21st ascii collection, and my 1st as part of
doors
Partners Criminals. I left Remorse in the spring of 01
modemland
mostly out of boredom with the group, but also because the
newuser
feeling of a tight-knit community was no longer present in
goodbye
the group: it just wasnt my Remorse of old any more. The
ibm-pc
scene is pretty pointless for me in my life right now, but
consoles
I love spending some time every once in a while hanging on
music
IRC and drawing ascii, so when Cain asked me to form a new
art
group with him I figured Why the fuck not? A few others
elite
have joined us, mostly old schoolers, and weve managed to
divine st
put together our first group release PC-001.ZIP. We owe
epsilon d
Cain alot for all his efforts in getting this together, as
deadlock
I was just too damn busy this summer to do much in the way
thuglife
of organization or promotion.
mukumdi
chrombach
I really dont know what the point of PC is. Its not as
polyester
if ascii art can pay the bills or feed the kids, but ascii
arrogance
still draws me back to it a couple of times a year all the
tac
same. And in those times I get sucked back in, it is nice
lord nitr
to know my friends are still here, and that we can share a
talo
joke, tell some stories, and swap a little art too. If it
l1n.org
has to have any more meaning than that, well, you probably
echelon
should be in therapy.
whodini
posk draw
Oh yeah, all this art is old. I havent drawn all summer.
i am .ca
Enjoy it anyways, and shout me out if you feel like it.
