Foundation Nyahbinghi Daughter Guidelines

Greetings and Blessed Love

I hope the Sistren are doing well and managing all daily tasks well. Some days are indeed harder than others, but I and I must never lose faith, and trust in JAH to help and carry us through until we can stand on our own and achieve or overcome. Today's tribulations might not be as bad as tomorrow's so we must give thanks and never be bitter or angry. Through JAH RasTafari all things are possible!

That being said, since the Queen Omega Livity Principles was such a popular post, I decided to post an old summary for the Nyahbinghi Daughter which I've had for years, from a site no longer running. I see that there are other sites where the same information can be found, but slightly different.

So for those Sistren interested in knowing more specifics about the Queen Omega Livity Principles that the elders of RasTafari set long ago, I give this summary:

Guidelines for Nyahbinghi Daughter


1. The Nyahbinghi woman must abide by Emperor Haile Selassie I Ivine laws.

2. During I-semble, the Nyahbinghi women are responsible for the teaching of the children with special emphasis on the Amharic languages, His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I, Black History and other aspects of Rastafari Ivine livety.

3. She is not permitted to administrate around the altar or to prophecy before the congregation. A Nyahbinghi queen does not play the drums at an I-semble but does play the SHAKA (Shaker) or TIMBREL. She may participate in governmental administration, as in the taking of minutes, writing/reading of letters or any other works she is capable of doing, as seen by the House. She should also strive to improve her livity and skills/education so that she may be of greater strength to the Theocracy of Emperor Haile Selassie I and the family.

4. She must be attired in modest apparel at all times and must not wear pants or revealing garments. Her head must be covered during an I-semble or when congregating among the brethren or outside her gates.

5. As H.I.M. is the Head of the Nyahbinghi Order, the Nyahbinghi queen must recognise her kingman as her head. She must be loyal to her king head in all things concerning righteousness and at all times. If there is a misunderstanding between her and her king man, the matter should be brought before the priest or the Council of Elders who will deal with the matter privately and constructively.

6. During her monthly issue (period of 7 days), the Nyahbinghi queen does not attend, I-semble or congregate among the brethrens.

7. When the Nyahbinghi queen brings forth a prince, she should stay away from an I-semble for a period of 3 months. If she brings forth a princess, she should stay away for a period of 4 months.

8. The Nyahbinghi woman must abstain from whoredom, adultery, fornication and all sinful acts that are an abomination to the Most High. She should keep her temple clean, refraining from use of flesh, drugs, alcohol and all harmful articles of food that are forbidden. The wearing of jewelry is not forbidden but the piercing of the ears is against the will of JAH. The plaiting of locks is forbidden as it is written in the book of II Peter 3: 3, "Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair."

9.The Nyahbinghi woman is nonviolent, non-abusive and non- partisan. She must also be free from all corruption as a true daughter of JAH Rastafari.

Selah!
