The Rastafari movement adherents worship Haile Selassie I, Emperor of Ethiopia (1930–1974), as God incarnate, the Second Advent, or the reincarnation of Jesus. According to their beliefs, Haile Selassie was the 225th in an unbroken line of Ethiopian monarchs of the Solomonic Dynasty said to have been founded in the 10th century BC by Menelik I, the son of the Biblical King Solomon and Makeda, the Queen of Sheba, who had visited Solomon in Israel. This religion encompasses themes such as the spiritual use of cannabis and the rejection of western society which they call 'Babylon'. Africais proclaimed as the original birthplace of mankind. Another theme within Rastafarism is Royalty, with Rastas seeing themselves as African royalty and they do not believe this to be a religion but more of a way of life. Rastafari are monotheists and worship a singular God called Jah. Jah is seen as being in the form of the Holy Trinity, with Father, Son and the Holy Spirit in one. Rastas say that Jah lives within the human in spirit form. It is believed that the evil society, or "Babylon", has always been white-dominated, and has committed such acts of aggression against the African people including the Atlantic slave trade. Despite this they believe Rasta is for all people. <ref> [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Ghana Wikipedia article "Religion in Ghana"] </ref>
