Blessed Love
I do hope this day proved for all Dawtas to blessed and upfull. Today it was a holiday in Trinidad, so we just kicked back at home, but my princess went to the movies with a cousin. Now that the prince is resting I have a moment before a movie, to post the next recipe!
I had never tried cooking kale before, everytime I eat it, it is as lettuce in a salad. But lately the kale is so fibrous and thick that it actually takes too much out of my teeth to chew it for so long! So I decided to sautee it and of course I did it in my own style. It's super fast and a great addition to plantain, jasmine rice and split pea stew/dahl.
So here it is:
finely chop
4 cloves of garlic
1 small onion
1 pimento
2 chives/green onion
as many leaves of kale as you need for your servings
a few leaves of patchoy (if you wish)
a few okra (if you wish)
grate a thumb of ginger
In sesame oil (tablespoon or more) sautee the fresh seasonings first for 2 minutes
add the greens and sautee for two minutes until they turn bright green
add a few dashes of Braggs Soy Sauce.
Remove from heat and that is it! Remember the idea is just to soften the kale not to actually cook it for too long. you can use a fry pan or stir fry pan or wok, whatever you use for your veggies.
I hope the rest of your strong/week is productive and filled with good thoughts and rewards of Positive living.
JAH RasTafari Alpha Omega Itinue to Shine upon and Guide the I and I

Blessed Empress Day
Blessings to the Royal Dawta Nation of RasTafari on this Hola Day which I call EMPRESS DAY!
If there is one time of the year which a Sistren should heartically reflect on her trod thus far in RasTafari: it's this day (of course it should be an on-going thing but you know what I mean!)
March 25 1883 *Ethiopian* or 3 April 1891 *Gregorian*
Empress Menen Asfaw is THE Queen Omega Ilect, the Leading Empress of RasTafari worldwide.
She is InI Iritual Mother, Role Model, Inspiration and Teacher. Without Her there would be no Black Afrikan Queen in our generation to look up to - She is truly the Omega, the last Afrikan Queen to sit upon a ruling/influential Afrikan throne.
Have you ever really sat down and seriously thought about the life of this magnificent Wombman?
Of Her character and legacy of works?
A skilled craftswoman from girlhood, A Loving and Devout Mother and Wife/Homemaker, a Patroness to the Church of Her Faith, A keen Business Woman, a Charitable Volunteer and Fundraiser, Landowner, Temple Builder, School Builder, Woman-Supporter and Counsellor...and the list probably goes on and on for those who intimately knew the Empress.
For I, She is a Wombman who shared a vision of a better Ethiopia and Afrika with Her KingMan Emperor Haile Sellassie I.
A Wombman Who I believe, was the first Afrikan Wombman to create a school for the education of girls: for She represented millions of generations born of tradition where sons were favoured, a tradition that dates back before history was recorded.This is one thing about Empress Menen that truly inspires I personally: Her will to educate young women. Because doing such means helping create a better world. the Empress knew from Her own experiences and those of others, what was needed in Her land in Her community. She was not afraid to do something ground-breaking that would eventually be beneficial to all once allowed to bear fruits. And in time the Itege Menen School for Girls grew and excelled and changed the hearts of parents throughout Ethiopia one at a time.
When We as Wombman embrace our motherhood and extend our love and nurturing powers to the community, we heal a lot of broken hearts and open wounds that exist in many homes, we give others the attention and guidance they need to be confident and make better decisions in their lives. We dont have to personally know other's situations to help and inspire them. Just by using our passion, drive, intellect, knowledge, skills, love and voices, I and I Wombman can make positive ripple effects.
No one on earth is more influential than a Wombman on a mission, and Empress Menen through Her Life Story, encourages I personally everyday to never give up or in on I visions of a better tomorrow for my yutes and all RasTafari yutes - and one way I focus on the yutes is by reasoning to the I Mothers, to empower the I so all can forward and do good works for self and others.
I see what is missing for the yutes: they have no education resources or spaces or groups to call their own, and what does exist benefits a very few and not all RasTafari. I and I are so focused on culture in appearance and other avenues but as a global Nation have failed to put in place Afrikan education resources for all to use. Where are our RasTafari youth groups, school books, literature, curriculum, toys, apparel, movies and cartoons and so on? These things exist in small pockets around the world but there is no established model or foundational resource for all to tap into. This needs to change because mainstream globalized society is corrupt and has even more influence on the yutes than ever before. Too many RasTafari families face problems with their yutes wanting to cut their dread and "be like everybody else" because they have no support system or socialization with others like them. This needs to change for the sake of their future joy and confidence in self. InI as mothers have to band together to help our yutes, knowing through our own experiences how hard growing up in Babylon can be!
RasTa Wombman today have many ambitions, but InI abundantly share creative talents such as natural living, design and entertainment. I encourage Dawtas to add to your list of aspirations and duties, the education of others - whether it is in your home, neighbourhood, friends circle, online or in poetry, books, school materials, support groups, workshops, book clubs, or other outlets/materials - whether it's about Rasta, Ital, Afrikan Istory, crafts, or sharing a special skill you have, set apart some time to do good works for the yutes of Rastafari. Let it be InI global mission to focus on them and not just ourselves the adults. We can set aside a little income each month for these initatives through tithes and personal goodness. Let InI hold parties and fairs for them and not just dances for ourselves. let there be youth gatherings n not just adult oriented vibes, more homeschool cooperatives and online blogs and communities, youth chatrooms or forums, lunches outdoors, excursions, vacations, staycations, camping - let InI get together and be accountable as families and build a solid foundation in JAH.
I know you feel what I am saying.
I am not talking about how much money we need to do these things, I am talking about comitting to making it happen, last and succeed! When there is commitment and livication, visions manifest no matter the financial situation!
At the end of the day, let it be that I and I never forget that I nI as RasTafari have taken the baton passed by JAH RasTafari Alpha and Omega: to rebuild the Afrikan community, to repair the damage of Europe. I and I must use all our efforts, pool all our resources and be more trustworthy and trusting of others. Too many RasTAfari efforts come to naught from dishonesty and disagreements and it ends up in our perpetual stagnation as a people. Let I and I be inspired by Empress Menen to come out of our sleeping state and take back the minds of our young people from mainstream corruption. The yutes of RasTafari need InI Mothers to love and guide them, to take the extra time to teach them about their people and their roots so that they will never stray from JAH which is TRUTH and RIGHT.
Selah! Love and Joy on Empress Day and from now til April 3rd!

Trinidad Ranch Cashew Everything Dressing
Selamta Sela Omega I!
Combine all ingredients in the blender and blend up until it is smooth.
Ila
In my absence I've been
creating some new recipes, and those who are friends with I on social media
would have seen some of these meals, and I really have wanted to post for the
longest while but as I sit to type at the computer the prince is calling or
something else needs to be done! Even my business is suffering in terms of my
daily promotions and so on, and being self-sufficient as a RasTa mama, wife,
community nurturer (even if online more than anything these days!) and business
wombman means that you don’t necessarily have help at hand to share duties. A
little bit every day, one step at a time, and finally I am making more time to
ensure I post here on RasTa Wifeline and stop letting good posts and thoughts
stay with I self.
I start with my personal cashew cheese recipe,
which I believe to be much more flavour full that most online. I like cashew
cheese or sauce or dip or spread or paste depending on how you use it - because
it is so versatile and such a great substitute for those cheese
cravings and munchies. Not quite guilt free because nuts are fattening for some
but this sure beats back most snacks! And although nuts are not free for
everyone to use because of allergies, this is a great recipe you simply must
try if you can safely.
Use this recipe to create a
vegan ranch salad dressing, a cheese paste for bread or
crackers (Wholewheat Crix taste the best!), a dip, a baked or unbaked
mac and cheese sauce and as vegan eggless mayo for cold slaw or veggie burgers! Try it with my Quinoa patties. Yes
it is that versatile and it all depends on whether you use it warm
for mac n cheese, room temperature as a raw veggie dip or chilled
to make a thicker paste for bread and crackers! I take mine out of the fridge
for a short little defrosting before use.
Now buying cashew nuts
(unsalted and plain) is expensive so this is not a weekly recipe, but certainly
a monthly treat - in Trinidad I spend $50 on one bag to make this cheese and it
lasts my kingman and I 10 days the most - definitely use within 14 days and
always store in a sealed glass jar - mason jars are awesome for this recipe and
all your homemade salad dressings. Apple cider vinegar or lemon juice are great
additives to keep these recipes fresh in the fridge or on ice if you are eating
outdoors.
Ila's
Trinidad Ranch Dressing
Cashew
Cheese Dip Sauce and Mayo
1.5
cup cashew nuts unsalted
1 tsp tumeric
1 pinch cumin
2 pinch sea salt
1 tsp ginger powder
(1 tsp coconut powder) optional
1 tsp tumeric
1 pinch cumin
2 pinch sea salt
1 tsp ginger powder
(1 tsp coconut powder) optional
1 medium to large onion
(the more onion the richer the flavour)
5 chive or green onion tops (and bottoms if you wish)
1 pimento pepper (or any pepper mild or spicey to your tastes)
4 large cloves garlic
¼ cup odourless coconut oil (Nariel is great if you are in Trinidad)
1 cup warm water
Juice of 1 lemon or 1/4 cup Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar
5 chive or green onion tops (and bottoms if you wish)
1 pimento pepper (or any pepper mild or spicey to your tastes)
4 large cloves garlic
¼ cup odourless coconut oil (Nariel is great if you are in Trinidad)
1 cup warm water
Juice of 1 lemon or 1/4 cup Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar
Combine all ingredients in the blender and blend up until it is smooth.
You will have to stop and
move it around with a spatula or spoon to get it going.
Add extra water slowly if
too thick.
Refrigerate overnight
before use for best flavour.
Store in mason jar or clean
reused jar up to 14 days.
I love it for breakfast as
cheese paste on a toasted bun with green leafy veges (kale or patchoy/bokchoy)
and tomato inside.
Look out for my Rainbow Raw Vegetable Slaw which will
use the dressing as mayo!
Have a blessed and productive strong (week) Beloved Ilahfull Nation.
This strong I urge the I to Remember to...
PAY attention to YOUR world not your money: your thoughts, actions, words, activities, creations, interests, upsets, happy moments - take IT ALL IN
Iditate: give thanks for what has been, what is and what is to come. You have a purpose here and now and tomorrow, give thanks for that and seek to overstand and innerstand WHAT and WHO the I IS and has been.
JAH no dead, JAH is here in InI everytime I call HIM Hola Name and Reason Ites.
JAH is all around...what InI give, InI receive, as above so below, what is within is also without. What cannot be seen is yet in plain site if InI just continue to seek and learn and oppose this rat race of nonsense and ignorance...
Hail the Ingels of light love and life that are JAH, Neter, Selah-See-I RasTafAri
GIve thanks for the hola sacrament in unfolding the mystikal know-lidj of JAH RasTafari.
Be still and Thank HIM and HIH for Their Itinual Inspiration to RasTafari to be Love, Justice and Truth, For Their encouragement to return the glory of Afrika to Her and live better lives for the sake of all Life each day!
Selah JAH RasTafari!

Ila's Confession of a Rebelution
Greetings in the Name of the Most High JAH RasTafari!
I know it has been a long while...but I am faced with constantly putting off posting reasoning for other things such as the yutes, designing new items to keep up in the 2014 market and fulfilling custom orders since business has started to pick back up for the new year. Not to mention documenting my Rastafari-Afrika homeschool lessons and unit studies and worksheets, my studying and my writing which when I am finally ready to come back to reasoning, will be controversial for some, and yet liberating for others - and I welcome the Rebelution of Ila: I rebellion against Babylon's lies and I found solution or resolution of the unknown that I was seeking to make sense of the past for the future and present state of mind.
The opening of a new chapter in Rastafari ESOTERIC WiseMind - something long overdue from such a forward thinking Nation of Afrikans! For we have come far and RasTafari has unearthed a lot of truths, but I think we have become stagnant and have not pushed certain limits because of Christianity...
-We have decoded the Afrikan nature of the Holy Bible and the Hebrews and in my videos I have even shown the Babylonian and Ethiopian and Kemetian origins thereof in terms of bloodline and settlement, but I had not really focused on the fact that it is the Babylonian and Kemetian and Ethiopian knowledge and the mysteries and hidden information that the Hebrew Bible is about, it is one perspective and interpretation thereof based on their ancient teachings (priesthood). Knowing the truth and the Wise Mind beyond the symbols and rituals is what matters more than being caught up on the stories for they are mostly fable and allegory and the Bible's historical events do not match up to history's dating or are unrecorded. there are so many errors and confusing things in the Bible, not to mention the warring nature of God, that we have to see that what we lack is the true overstanding of the intentions with which the Bible was created and written -
Yes, I say we are stuck behind Christianity because I am speaking from the truth that many mansions in Fari use Scripture now and even worship in Jesus Name whether Yeshua or Yesus, and put him over the King! and in my own trod I saw the importance of using CHristianity and the person of Kristos in sighting HIM - and in bringing RasTafari Livity reasoning here I could not escape the fact that most of RasTafari laws or rules come from the Bible - so it was not that I was ever a "Bible-thumping RasTa" but I had never found the way around it and was influenced by many others who use Scripture for proof and foundation to principles.
But now I finally can agree with the views of Diasporan Black historians and our own RasTafari elders such as Mutabaruka and any who have no need for any institution of reliegion. I know how it feels to not push certain limits because I and I don't want to divorce the Emperor's Christian background - but that is when a better analysis of the Emperor's life and opinions and own words needs to come in as the Emperor pushed no religion upon anyone; and also a consideration of what Livity started by the inspiration of a man, ever identified themselves with His own background? Not many, the name change brings in the weeding out of the unnecessary but the underlying values remain the same so that the truth may come in and the Wise Mind of JAH really be dispersed.
The only other thing I will say at this point is that Emperor Haile Sellassie the First IS God and King and Kristos, the First RasTafari People knew this without apology and without the use of the Holy Bible and Christianity - my goal has always been to uphold the foundation of RasTafari and I have finally been able to find the proof of HIM as the God-King of the Bible without the Ible as much as with. In fact, the information reflects each back upon the other - showing that His Majesty is truly JAH anyway you look at HIM!
So in the end I ask for tolerance and for ones to be open-minded in time to come, and make your decisions and judgments based on logic and not tradition. RasTa WifeLine will end up being a space that caters to both Biblical use and Non Biblical use in RasTafari and I will be revisiting certain topics on RasTafari Livity from the nonBiblical perspective. I ultimate aspiration is to show the underlying unifying knowledge..that can please both sides of this coin.
That's all I can really say at the moment for it is too much to even try to put in this post and I truly am not ready to put the information out here yet because it is a lot and it is heavy - and I want to get it right - and trust me I have been taping reasonings but have not had time to edit and see what I can use comfortably.
But in the mean time, it is not to say that the information is not right at your fingertips! To catch up with what I have been learning, and to be ready for when I bring I reasoning and fit all these pieces together as they related to Emperor Haile Sellassie I, the I can make your own path and trod brighter by putting in some work too!
Read Read Read
Two important books on HIM:
The Mission
The Lion of Judah Hath Prevailed
also all books by Malik H Jabbar starting with "The Biggest Lie Ever Told"
and these books of the 1800s and early 1900s which are used by historians to overstand the Bible and religion:
The Golden Bough
Anacalypsis
The Secret Teachings of all Ages
Morals and Dogma
Witness of the Stars
The World's Sixteen Crucified Saviors
In closing I Rebelution simply means that I heavens have been opened and a lot of chains have been loosed and I have changed and grown in more fullness in RasTafari and I give thanks for the truth, as offensive as it wants to be. I give thanks for the person who months ago posted that I was dealing too much with the Bible as a RasTa, for them offending me and for I not being afraid to change my old views and beliefs based on TRUTH, knowing all the while that with or without their comment, that I had been actively searching to resolve the questions and hangups I have always had about religion. Knowing what lies hidden behind the veil of ritual, taboo and tradition is freeing to the soul and allows I and I to focus on the things that truly matter and that are true. His Majesty remains the God King in my books and I give thanks that nothing I have learned ha jeopardized that, only added strength and power unto my confidence in HIM and Empress Menen.
Mankind and Wombmankind are but sand in the wind, we are so small and yet so relevant to the grand scheme of Life - JAH - Neter. To witness the Coming of His Imperial Majesty is an honour and priviledge the ancients would applaud us for, it is the true freedom from whitewash slavery and mainstream downpression of InI God-Self.
So if you know JAH is REAL, hail HIM and HER with a sounding, a smile and heartbeat and let JAH's love and morality shine through, take up a good work for the youth of today and see a brighter tomorrow in a dream that can bear fruit...

Coronation of Emperor Ras Tafari
Article published in Kingston, Jamaica, the 8 of November of 1930 in the "Blackman" news paper.
> Last Sunday, a great ceremony took place at Addis Abbaba [Ababa],
the capital of Abyssinia. It was the coronation of the new Emperor of
Ethiopia - Ras Tafari. From reports and expectations, the scene was one
of great splendour, and will long be remembered by those who were
present.
> Several of the leading nations of Europe sent
representatives to the coronation, thereby paying their respects to a
rising Negro Nation that is destined to play a great part in the future
history of the world.
> Abyssinia is the land of the blacks
and we are glad to learn that even though Europeans have been trying to
impress the Abyssinians that they are not belonging to the Negro Race,
they have returned the retort that they are, and that they are proud to
be so.
> Ras Tafari has travelled to Europe and America and
is therefore no stranger to European hypocrisy and methods; he,
therefore, must be regarded as a kind of a modern Emperor, and from what
we understand and know of him, he intends to introduce modern methods
and systems into his country. Already he has started to recruit from
different sections of the world competent men in dIfferent branches of
science to help to develop his country to the position that she should
occupy among the other nations of the world.
> We do hope
that Ras Tafari will live long to carry out his wonderful intentions.
From what we have heard and what we do know, he is ready and willing to
extend the hand of invitation to any Negro who desires to settle in his
kingdom. We know of many who are gone to Abyssinia and who have given
good report of the great possibilities there, which they are striving to
take advantage of.
> The Psalmist prophesied that "Princes
would come out of Egypt and Ethiopia would stretch forth her hands unto
God" (Psalm 68:31). We have no doubt that the time is now come.
Ethiopia is now really stretching forth her hands. This great kingdom of
the East has been hidden for many centuries, but gradually she is
rising to take a leading place in the world and it is for us of the
Negro race to assist in every way to hold up the hand of Emperor Ras
Tafari.

RasTafari Homeschooling and Online Webpages for Children
Blessed Love Dawtas!
Give thanks for life and another day of blessings! I promised a Sistren a list of webpages that are great for the youts while they are home whether being homeschooled or not. These sites have tons of learning activities that will allow them to spend time wisely and productively! They are all free except the first one.
Homeschooling is a part of RasTafari Livity because it has been proven that the enemy should not be allowed to raise and teach our youts on a daily basis - it is leading to the death of the young Black community through disease, gangs, drugs and mental degradation to name a few. Being anti-Babylon means that I and I are separated from them in as many ways as possible for InI. Ideally, and in the first creations of RasTafari autonomy namely Pinnacle and Bobo Hill, in everything RasTafari are to stand apart from Babylon - dress (we wear the royal robe or full covering and turban), food (we are supposed to be not just vegan but food producers), settlement (we are to live in the hills or country not concrete jungle) and spirituality and learning (become self taught to learn the hidden truths).
RASTAFARI are a SEPARATED PEOPLE. Dwelling away from society does not mean that InI neglect our children's education and just let them learn physical trade or planting (though such will allow them to provide for themselves and a family). It means that we take a very large interest in developing and nurturing their minds - teaching them academics as much as how to live in JAH's Iration. As parents InI have to be keen and livicated to their future as adults and leaders. It is not always possible for most of InI to truly separate in all of the ways I mentioned, not every I can live in the hills and plant the land, and many RasTafari have worthy talents and professions in urban dwelling which still are good works in their place.
So no matter what type of place you live, or what you do, homeschooling is the RasTa Mama's duty in any little way you can do it - teaching manners and the fruits of the Irit for example are homeschooling, teaching how to grow a flower or a vegetable is homeschooling, teaching your yout how to sew a skirt is homeschool, helping them write stories or reading a book together is homeschool. We have to look at our children and see what they need, what they respond to, and nurture those desires and imaginations. Even if they sometimes act like they aren't interested in something, never give it up. It will happen at the right time, and over time you will get the rewards of your child's learning.
And in that line of thought...
I have really been considering starting a Rastafari Mother's Homeschooling blog of sorts where I can post information such as these websites, and also share my lesson plans, my teaching ideas by subject, and more importantly my Rastafari themed worksheets and other worksheets. I really want to support the RasTafari Homeschooling community worldwide, but this is an undertaking that I will need other Sistren to contribute on: lesson plans, activities, pictures and worksheets, how to manage homeschooling multiple children, what your techniques and tricks are, how you get resources, how you plan your curriculum and samples of such - everything!
InI have to be serious and get organized just as the White community is - Australia and America I can think of. they always have their stuff together and they can make income while doing something so important. it is time RasTafari homeschoolers come together and form some kind of organization that can be both online and local chapters here in the West and in the East. Something that InI can use to fund raise and lead to the building of our own RasTafari learning centres where many of InI live together so that our youts can have a homeschool co-op community. I know that some Sistren already have access to such things where they live, please come forward and share what the I can!
Please message me if you are seriously interested in being a regular contributor to a Rastafari homeschooling blog - this is necessary my Sistren! InI need to support one another and make the RasTafari Wombman's presence known in the community!
On another note Look out for the Smocking Maxi Dress Tutorial that I will post here. It is already on YouTube.
RasTafari Blessings and Idance!

Duties of the RasTafari Mother
Greetings and Blessings to the Children of the Most High JAH RasTafarI
More and more I find myself wanting to reason on this topic because I too have trials in raising my princess to be firm Rastafari. She likes some outside influences that many Rastafari do not allow their children to be exposed to such as Disney or cable television - tell-lie-vision. I know that this is an area where I have fallen short as a parent, but at the end of the day it is up to me to ensure that those are not the only images she knows or plays with. It is still my job as a mother to ensure that she is exposed to her culture more than she is exposed to Babylon. It is important that my livity, moreover, be firm Rastafari because she will always grow up to see the ensample that I as her mother set in the home and community. My point is that as Rastafari mothers we have to not just be firm in our own trod, but ensure that we provide the right principles for InI youts to grow and live by.

My point is that as Rastafari mothers we have to not just be firm in our own trod, but ensure that we provide the right principles for InI youts to grow and live by.
We cannot just expect that one day when they are older our children will know everything. They may not have the interest to learn on their own by that time so it is necessary for the RasTa mother to ensure that she homeschools her youts and exposes them to books and film. Expose them to the things that the school system keeps hidden if they go to school. Teach them about the important figures of Afrikan liberation, and about the Emperor and Empress. Youtube has many resources and there are many websites as well.
Teach them about spirituality, how to walk with JAH and be open to the presence of a Higher Power within themselves. Reassure them of their place in the world, and open their eyes to the possibilities that await for them. Empower them to find themselves and their purpose, encourage them to try new things. Give them freedom to grow rather than stifle, but teach them to have a measure of self accountability and the wisemind to know and measure their own actions, so that they never stray from what is right.
Set a high standard for your youts and follow it yourself, you too have to be the first teacher they have in life! You as a RasTa Mother has to walk in the path of Empress Menen Who always supported the education and creative development of the youth.
I know that things are hard, sometimes there is no money to get what you need or no time to commit as you should. But if you cannot make the time daily, at least just one day of the week find an hour or two to culture your children. That is better than nothing! If we leave them to Babylon they will not be fed the right Word Sound Power! They will become corrupted by the pleasures and temptations out there if they are not armed with wisdom.
New Jerusalem is for them to inherit, with JAH as the Standard Bearer Ini RasTafari Mothers must lay its foundation!
