"When the first Hawaiian Islanders arrived from Polynesia thousands of years ago, they brought the tribal traditions and religious beliefs of their gods. This was represented by Tiki masks and other symbols. These traditions continued in Hawaii. Modern Tiki masks, as we know them in our current decor, most often derive from the Hawaiian interpretations of the traditional Tiki Masks.
The meanings of Tiki faces are usually in some way linked to a particular god, natural element, or spiritual characteristic of the land. They are not solely for religious purposes. Many times throughout history, Tiki mask heads were placed in the home or in the community areas for specific reasons other than worshipping the gods.
The reasons for constructing the Tiki Masks also include the desire for luck, good fortune, or health of a family member. This could also be for a specific event. It could be for bravery or for victory in a contest or for a quest. A Tiki mask was thought to bring good crops to the land, or as stated previously, to bestow fertility upon a couple hoping for many children. Tiki masks promised tribal people many blessings and provided them with hope, comfort, and continuity of their lives."
I wonder if other people have strange superstitions & practices before they perform? In front of a camera or otherwise… I personally do not drink at least a week before filming. I believe that drinking messes with my memory & ability to retain lines & it also swells my face & causes me to retain water all over… But as soon as filming as over, I’m usually the first one tanked to celebrate! 😝 So… To #tikitimes! Hopefully I can grab a drink somewhere in NYC this Sunday after filming with the great, @unclelloydkaufman! Are there #tikibars in NYC? Cause you know what I like!!! 😜🍹 https://www.instagram.com/p/CpDnmRtODcx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
