A reference for the Qabbalistic tradition

emanation, read plainly.

Ten Sephirot. Twenty-two paths. Three lineages — Jewish, Christian, and Hermetic — that gave the Tree of Life its different names, letters, and uses. This is a working reference, not a sales pitch: history you can check, correspondences you can look up, and a diagram you can actually click through.

One tradition, three names

Kabbalah, Cabala, Qabalah

The spelling you meet usually tells you which lineage is speaking. This site keeps all three distinct rather than flattening them into one.

קבלה

Kabbalah

The Jewish mystical tradition proper — Sefer Yetzirah, the Zohar, Lurianic cosmology. Received, transmitted teaching, studied within a religious framework.

Cabala

Christian Cabala

Renaissance scholars — Pico della Mirandola, Reuchlin — who read Kabbalistic texts as confirmation of Christian doctrine, grafting the Sephirot onto a new theology.

Qabalah

Hermetic Qabalah

The 19th–20th century synthesis — the Golden Dawn, Crowley, modern ceremonial magic — that attached Tarot, astrology, and pathworking to the Tree of Life.
