the tikis were “ti’i”, which were considered to be the first humans. These “ti’i” were called up to obtain protection from spirits, but more often were used to cast spells to destroy the vital organs of an enemy and capture his soul.

Well, I guess the spell of tiki has been "destroying" the livers and "holding captive" the morality of the western world for some time now! (And we loooove it!)
