Redesign Your World With Tikis

By Kevin Lewis


A broad cross section of us can consider what a tiki is. Tikis are those liberally cut statues with huge countenances and either grandiosely grinning or truly exasperating appearances. They are routinely in coffee shops or bars, and once in a while even in homes. Maybe we don't give them a glancing look, passing them by as only one more thing to take a gander at. It might be, in any case, that tikis can offer more than essentially being an inconsequential thing. It might be that with the right viewpoint tikis can genuinely improve your reality, light up your life and give you a greater appreciation of your daily life.

"Why," you might say, "would I think about a tiki statue, or waste my time over it?" Actually, unless you're one of those individuals who truly scorn them, there are a couple of reasons. To start with, tikis are engaging, in a primitive kind of way. As statuary goes, they are exceptionally simple. It is, notwithstanding, this remarkably primitive simplicity that is their allure. Uncomplicated in outline, yet compelling in their impact, tikis are suggestive of the Polynesian society from long, long prior. The conundrum and excitement of age-old cities in beguiling locales can be pleasantly overwhelming.

Polynesian culture brings up another facet of their appeal, -the fascinating history of tikis, and their meaning to the peoples from which they emerged. It is widely considered that tiki statues are artistic representations of "First Man," or the powerful and religiously significant primordial ancestor, himself a deity. The tiki statues then were carved in various forms typically representing the god of war, the god of agriculture, the god of creation and the god of the sea. If the various gods were pleased with their likenesses, they were said to actually inhabit the sculpture, offering the people strength, power and protection.

Lastly, tikis can work as an empowering force to bring about vicarious tropical encounters. Everything connected with "tiki" can offer assistance. One doesn't need to live in a tropical or subtropical environment to encounter fun and fulfillment with respect to the tropical way of life. Tiki statues, tiki lodges, tiki bars, tiki lights and tiki parties, through their relationship with what some genuinely consider heaven, can offer satisfaction and phenomenal excitement to any environment.

With such an extraordinary measure of things going for them, in such an assortment of different ways, why not consider them? Most tiki-related things are extensively available and not overly expensive, allowing pretty much anyone to partake.

For those do-it-yourselfers, many tiki items can easily be made. Even tiki statues and tiki huts, though more challenging, can be made if one is willing to put in a bit of time and effort.

For those not exactly so energized, a tiki get-together may be a fundamental approach to begin with. A couple of tiki lights, some island or tropical music and some rum beverages and you could be well on your way to a most charming "tiki" experience. You could even have a tiki themed cake to finish it off.
