the Kabbalah קבלה

hey sorry to be silly but can someone explain me about pagan and wicca and their differences?

wtf is that?

speaking as a "jewitch", i find the kabbalah to be fascinating. it IS getting to commercial though. traditionally you can't learn kabbalah until you're forty (and male!) so i'm glad that that's changing, but at what cost, ya know?

Clement - the mystic side of judaism
ningyou - yes i am aware of that

Aeons_Wing: Judaism has a strong shamanic background that we've had to hide to keep us safe. During the Inquisitions a lot of our sacred texts were burned, and we had to hide a lot of our traditions so that the Christian majority wouldn't think of us as a threat. Here's a link that talks about this: http://home.earthlink.net/~ecorebbe/id15.html

Very interesting. Thanks, Ning!

You're welcome. :D

ningyou - thank you alot for telling me this as i haven't even knew this

so what are the magickal virtues of kabbalah?
I'm studying it myself but it blows me away and makes my brain go into a pulpy mush (exageration, but its still slightly confusing for me, and I study ancient scriptures on a regular basis)

There are three forms of Kabbalah.
Cabbalah, Kabbalah, and Qabbalah.

Cabbalah is christian.

Kabbalah is Jewish.
Kabbalah IS Judaism. It's the nitty gritty. It doesn't really have a "Magical" foundation or anything. It's mystical in that it connects us to G-d.

Quabbalah is Hermetic.
