This collection of tiki gods attempts to shed light on a lost and forgotten world. Some exist in plain view among the throng of civilization. Others are shrouded in mystery and deadly intentions, born witness by no more than the wildest of beasts for centuries. The power and energy in all of them is palpable and each has its own special characteristics and story to tell. It is with great hope that the many years of exploration, research and sadly, gruesome deaths, will not be in vain and the history of this dying world of the mystical will continue to be handed down to future generations.
