More than one New Year? Sept 11 is Ethiopian & Eritrean New Year ENKUTATASH
Did you know there is more than one New Year?
Bredrens and Sistrens, welcome to RasTafari TV, where we shine light on our Divine heritage and rich culture. Today, we journey together to unlearn and relearn truths hidden for centuries.
Did you know the New Year celebrated by Ethiopians and Eritreans falls on September 11 according to the Julian Calendar? Known as Enkutatash, it marks the return of Queen Makeda of Sheba to Ethiopia after her visit to King Solomon, and it aligns with nature’s rhythms. Meanwhile, the Gregorian Calendar, widely used today, celebrates the New Year on January 1—a shift created by Roman influence, reshaping time to align with their worship of Greco-Roman gods.
The Romans named days and months after their gods, like Mars and Juno, or events significant to their empire. They sacrificed to these deities, embedding their worldview into the time we follow today. Indigenous rhythms, tied to celestial cycles and nature’s flows, were disrupted. Our sacred calendars—like the East African Calendar, Mayan Haab, the Akan calendar, and the Igbo lunar system—were forbidden, their wisdom nearly lost.
For too long, we’ve been confused by false teachings, disconnected from our own Divine timing & roots. RasTafari TV is here to filter out the filth, to reclaim our truths, and to awaken the ancient Divine and indigenous spirit within. Let us realign with the sacred rhythms of Great Benevolent Spirit and of our wise and righteous ancestors.
Join RasTafari TV as we uncover our Divine heritage, return to our Indigenous rhythms and calendars, and restore balance and oneness in our lives. Share these truths, and may Divine favor overflow in every aspect of your life.
Reclaim the rhythm of Our Divine Roots.
Forward ever, backward never!
