The term 'Selassie Worshipper' refers to a follower of the Rastafari movement, which is a religious and cultural movement that originated in Jamaica in the 1930s. The term 'Rasta' is a shortened version of the word 'Rastafari, ' which is derived from the name of the Ethiopian emperor Haile Selassie I, whom Rastafarians consider to be the messiah. Rastafarians believe in the spiritual unity of all people and practice a lifestyle based on natural living, vegetarianism, and the use of marijuana as a sacrament.
