Rastafari

The Promised Key

by Leonard P. Howell

A short tract published around 1935 under the pen name G. G. Maragh and attributed to Leonard Howell, one of the first preachers of Rastafari. It proclaims the Ethiopian emperor and empress as King Alpha and Queen Omega, and much of its text is borrowed from earlier Afro-Caribbean pamphlets.
