Here's an amazing story for you. Last year, in July, a woman inquired about having me carve a Tangaroa Tiki for a surprise birthday present for her husband. She sent me an image of what she wanted it to look like, size and stain and so forth. She knew it was symbolic of fertility but never mentioned a penis with it so I didn't carve one on it. Apparently after taking possession of the tiki in July she conceived in Sept. after nearly 10 years of "practice". Amazing, could be coincidence or a god wink. Now she wants me to carve her a "Tiki of wealth/prosperity" which it is my understanding is a Ku. I asked her if she wins the lottery if we could be friends, (just kidding of course), she said she would gladly share the winnings. (I would take it,... not kidding)
