When was the last time you remember actually thinking about a tiki? When was the last time you even remember seeing one? Tikis, especially if you live in an area that has a lot of them, become something taken for granted. Tikis really can offer a bit more than simply being part of the environment. Sometimes looking at things in a different way, you can open your eyes to the idea that tikis can actually be a lot of fun, can make your home or living space more interesting and give you joy in your daily life.
You might think, "who cares?" Tikis are just decorations some businesses use to dress things up a bit. Actually, unless you really just don't like them (yes, there are some people that don't), there are several reasons.
To begin with, tikis look cool, in a fundamental and basic kind of way. It is true that, contrasted with different sorts of statues, they are quite rough. Be that as it may, it is this purposeful roughness that makes them so cool. While not being as pristine and perfect as a marble figure from a renaissance artist, they can have a very powerful impact. Tikis are a part of the Polynesian society from quite some time ago. Those antiquated times and how their tikis were interwoven in their culture truly catches the mind in reverie.
Polynesian society is a wonderfully rich and colorful subject, well deserving of further study for those interested. For this article, in any case, it will be adequate to understand that tiki statues are really artistic representations of the "First Man." The associated mythology held that the "First Man" was himself a divine being, and that all Hawaiian peoples arose from his lineage. There were other divine beings also, commonly including the god of war, the god of agriculture, the god of creation and the god of the sea. When a tiki statue was created, if the god it represented was satisfied, he would actually occupy the statue and give abundant life and peace to the people.
Last but not least, tikis can actually help provide a great way to vicariously experience the beauty of the tropics. One does not necessarily need to live in Hawaii to experience the intrigue and relaxation of the tropics. It doesn't have to just include a tiki statue, either. Tiki huts, tiki bars, tiki torches and tiki parties, because of their association with idyllic, far off places, can help bring paradise just that much closer.
With all these great advantages, what's not to like! Why not put a little tiki in your life? Most of the tiki items discussed herein are easy to find, and most are fairly cheap.
For the industrious among you, most tiki items can be made at home. Even tiki statues and tiki huts can be made with a bit of time and effort.
If all that sounds like too much work, a tiki party or luau may be the way to go. Items for a tiki party abundantly available and offer a lot of value for your money.
Hopefully some of these ideas will help you think about tikis with new appreciation. Good luck, and consider adding a bit of tiki to your life.
