Qabalah

A Western esoteric and mystical tradition that is the underlying philosophy and framework for magical societies such as the Golden Dawn, Thelemic orders, mystical societies such as the Builders of the Adytum and the Fellowship of the Rosy Cross, and is a precursor to the Neopagan, Wiccan and New Age movements.

Hermetic Qabalah draws on a great many influences, most notably: Western astrology, Jewish Kabbalah, Tarot, pagan religions (especially Egyptian and Greco-Roman), Alchemy, neoplatonism, gnosticism, the Enochian system of angelic magic of John Dee and Edward Kelly, hermeticism, Freemasonry, and tantra.

It differs from the Jewish form of Kabbalah in being a more admittedly syncretic system, although it shares many Kabbalah's concepts.
