Enhance 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 may say, "would I consider some tiki statue, or waste my time contemplating it?" Actually, unless you're one of those people who really despise them, there are a couple reasons. To begin with, tikis are appealing, in a primitive sort of way. As statuary goes, they are very harsh. It is, regardless, this outstandingly primitive harshness that is a bit of their appeal. Bold in form, yet extreme in their effect, tikis are suggestive of the Polynesian culture from much, much earlier. The riddle and mystique of old locales in charming regions can be overpowering to the imaginative mind.

Polynesian culture raises another component of their charm, -the fascinating history of tikis, and their meaning to the society on which they were created. It is extensively seen that tiki statues are stylized representations of "First Man," or the important and religiously primordial one from whom we all descended, himself part of the divine. The tiki statues, then, were cut in various forms usually addressing the celestial power of war, the master of agribusiness, the ruler of creation and the ruler of the sea. If the beings themselves were happy with the resulting statues, they were said to truly imbue the figure with their presence, offering the community happiness, power and affirmation.

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 uncommon array of qualities going for them, why would anybody NOT want to include them? These things are widely accessible, and really permit essentially anybody to share in the fun.

For those do-it-yourselfers, different tiki items can be made without a considerable amount of bother. Without a doubt, even tiki statues and tiki houses, however requiring somewhat more of a commitment, can be made if one will put in a touch of time, exertion and enthusiasm.

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.
