Rastafarianism

Important Practices and Customs

• Nazarite Vow of Separation: Many Rastafarians follow this vow, which includes practices like not cutting their hair (resulting in dreadlocks), abstaining from alcohol, and living a simple life.
• Diet: Rastafarians often follow an Ital diet, which is a natural and vegetarian diet that excludes processed foods, meat, and artificial ingredients.
• Ganja (Marijuana): Some Rastafarians use ganja as part of their religious practice, considering it a sacrament that aids in meditation and connecting with the divine.
• Religious Gatherings: Rastafarians may gather for ceremonies and spiritual gatherings called "Nyabinghi," which involve drumming, chanting, and prayer.
