8.) Rastafarian Formation,Pilgrimage, and Image.

The Bobo Shanti tribes are the more spiritually developed Rastafarian's.They separate themselves from the rest and, if blessed with the opportunity, they will go up to the mountains in Bull Bay, Jamaica to prepare for their pilgrimage back to Ethiopia through prayer mediation, and other traditions. The term Bobo means black and Ashanti derives from an African tribe in Ghana. Their system of symbols is represented by their clothing. The boboshanti wear long robes and often red turbans to identify themselves. They also post signs around their territory to remind them of their beliefs and to assure justice and reasoning for their pilgrimage. The YouTube video we watched in class is a pretty accurate representation of the Boboshanti. In this video, a man by the name of Ancient talks about the Boboshanti purpose (1:40- 2:15):
