Rake is derived from the Old English definition of "Rakish" or a "dissolute man of fashion". This reconceptualization takes an idea of developing oneself upwards through building and being apart of community. The dissolution of what is fashionable about society, culture, the arts, and business, then reconstituting them to form a structure of inevitable expansion, i.e. the community...one that will grow as long as it is rejuvenated, its purpose being healthy and not solely about the individual.
The good Book of Rake is called "The Culture of Rake - the Revolution of Consciousness". This title deserves to be pondered and we believe the explanation will be a surprise for most.
