I love rods, so underrated.

With the 'Beast Wars', I cheat. I own the entire series on disk.

Ahh...
Shadow Raiders (I don't think) ever made it to DVD...and ReBoot only got released on DVD recently...
But the entire series of Shadow Raiders is on YouTube...

*nod nod* I'm watching it on YouTube right now. Well, not RIGHT now. But I watched five episodes yesterday. LOL Watched the first season of Reboot when it came out on TV. Was just come to the city then, and had this black and white TV that barely picked up stations. LOL

Yay!

XD She sure seems different from Jade so far. But boy, in Jade you can see the hard gungho woman that was the style when the show came out.

You can think of them more as wands or staves (yes, I realize that was a joke, but the point still stands). Depending on the deck, the concepts are interchangeable.

Also, I wholeheartedly encourage discussions around tarot, because it's absolutely fascinating (even if I don't believe in it). Yes, I'm naturally drawn to esoteric pedantry and things which are vastly open to interpretation.

And... on the other recent topic, I really have absolutely nothing to say. I had a friend a long time ago who watched shows like that, so I caught them from time to time, but I really don't remember much. They never attracted my attention (yeah, I was pretty pretentious as a pre-teen, too).

Those in particular replaced my "childhood cartoons" - hence why I know more about them.

O.O

Esoteric stuff is under my research...but there are so many...blargh...sites on it.

Here's one for free then: the Nag Hammadi Library, a collection of apocryphal Abrahamic scriptures. The Apocryphon of John is particularly interesting to read, and actually relatively short and (somewhat) easy to understand. Of course, "easy to understand" when talking about apocryphal, gnostic scripture is... highly subjective. (It is esoteric, after all.)

As an actual paperback book, by the way, Elaine Pagel's The Gnostic Gospels is extremely interesting. (I actually carry it with me at almost all times if I'm outside of the house, which is probably more than a little bit strange.)

*Cheers*
Thank you!!!

LOL Solucet, I think a lot of kids want to be grown up and not be watchin' the silly 'toons. Then some of us get old, and decide we wanna be kids when we grow up (like me).

Oh, I totally understand. I'm just inexorably drawn to just about... well, anything else. I mean, I watched cartoons and such as a kid, but that quickly faded into watching foreign art house films and reading the juvenile equivalent of transgressive fiction. I just never had that desire to revisit childhood, I guess.

Seriously, I just really have nothing to add to that conversation, so don't mind me -- didn't mean to veer things off track.

...We had a track?

I sort of am all over the place...as are a few (okay, to different degrees, everyone) here on Trisphee.

*offers Solucet a nice chair by a pile of books*

*crawls into bookshelf and falls asleep* Zzz....

I just assumed that the tracks were laid in a rapid, slipshod fashion resulting in fragile, labyrinthine pathways. So I guess we just found another one.

Pretty much...

Ruh-roh. Hope everything's okay, Law. *offers comfort snacks of your choice*
