For those who collect or have an enthusiasm for cultural objects such as tribal masks, statuary or idols, not everyone knows how to navigate the repurposing or use of said objects, many of which are found in second hand stores, flea markets etc. There are a few telltale signs and details that can reveal what the intent is or was in the idol, Tiki, mask or fetish when they were constructed, as well as the cultural meaning behind them. These items and objects can become valuable in our curio collection while we take care of them or even use them in our work. As a Witchdoctor, Utu has amassed a very large collection of tribal masks, idols and Tikis, all of them are either used for their original intent or repurposed to use in numerous other ways.

In this class you will learn

• How to recognize and know the difference between Idols, Tikis and Fetishes
• How to know what the purpose of an idol, Tiki, Fetish or Tribal Mask is for
• How to determine if a mask, idol, Tiki or fetish is occupied by spirit
• How to honor and feed an idol or tribal object
• How to repurpose an idol, Tiki, and tribal mask while honoring its original intent when created.
