Before dreadlocks, before drums, before the name Rastafari ever echoed through the hills of Jamaica—there was memory. Ancient, sacred memory. In this opening chapter of our journey, we trace the spiritual DNA of Rastafari back to the highlands of Ethiopia and the lost identity of a people ripped from their homeland. Through powerful storytelling, we uncover the soul of a movement rooted not in rebellion alone, but in divine remembrance. From Marcus Garvey’s prophecy to the silent cries of post-slavery Jamaica, we uncover the first sparks of the spiritual fire that would one day burn Babylon to the ground.
