Kära Tiki!


I sven a. Kirstens bok "the book of Tiki" kan man bland annat läsa följande: Tiki: a phallic symbol. Indeed the maori lore Tiki was the name for the procreative power and sexual organ of the god tane, creator of the first woman. In the austral islands south of tahiti, Tiki-roa was the nickname for the penis, and Tiki-poto endearingly designated the clitoris. For a word that holds such creative powers, it does not surprise us to find another meaning on the marquesas islands: Tiki - god of the artists.
