History of the Cabbalah

Post#1 » Sat Jan 23, 2010 4:57 pm

From Magic Spells of All Kinds by Draja Mickaharic:
The idea that the Cabbalah is the foundation of Western occultism is a poor joke. The history of the introduction of the Cabbalah to Europe is proof enough of that. Once it was ‘Jewished,’ the cabala developed rapidly, as Mark Twain once said of the freemasons, ‘growing rapidly at both ends,’ until it was said that God had personally taught it to Adam. In fact, the date of the introduction of the Cabbalah to the Jewish community of Seville in 849 AD is known. The fact of the modification of the original system of the octagon to the ten sphere cabalistic system, accomplished to suit Jewish ritual practice and give God a minion, is also known.

The Roman Catholic Church destroyed with vigor any competing ideology, especially including all those of a spiritual or mystical bent, that it found anywhere in Europe. The Cabbalah, as expounded by Isaac Luria, found favor with the church. Under the guidance of the Jesuit Kirchner, it was able to fill this gap in the spiritual with some of his assistance. The idea that the Cabbalah has any long history, or that it is the foundation of any form of the hidden mysteries, is laughable, except to those who are historically illiterate.
