Concepts of Qabalah - William G. Gray
KORTE INHOUD
W nen most people hear the mysterious word ““Qabalah’' (or Cabala, or Kabbalah), they may have vague ideas that it is something extremely abstruse and probably Jewish. If so, they would be only partly correct. The word itself does derive from the Hebrew root QBL, signifying to meet or embrace instruction, admit or allow a law, receive or obtain. By implication it points to a “secret tradition”’ known only to a few select scholars and imparted by them directly to carefully chosen disciples down the ages. In early days it was entirely an oral teaching, like that of the Druids. It did not reach a literary public until the late Middle Ages, and remained an obscure topic of interest only to the most eclectic students of esoterica until the nineteenth century. It did not become freely available until this century, mostly since World War IL. Even now, although many have heard of it, relatively few could give a good description of what it is and of what use it might be in a modern world.
