Hi al-Hallaj. Generally in English when something is spelled qaballa with a q it's referring to hermetic qabala while if it's kabbalah with a k it's referring to the Jewish stuff. There are a lot of pages with information, however, because kabbalah isn't one system but rather a collection of systems that share things in common the information can vary a little. Also some approaches are from a traditional perspective and some more scholarly. Some of these resources incorporate hasidus (imo an important development in Jewish mysticism) while others do not. The following sites may be of interest: http://inner.org/ (more traditional site. A lot a lot of info from a more hasidic perspective.) http://www.ucalgary.ca/~elsegal/Rels463/Rels463_index.html (academic. some nice translations of a few primary sources.) http://www.kabbalaonline.org/ (more traditional. hasidic perspective.) http://www.learnkabbalah.com/ (more contemporary. very good with analogies for certain concepts, and fairly unadorned, plain English explanations.) http://www.kabbalah.info/ (Same lineage as the guy who started the kabbalah centres but took it in a different direction. In my experience some of their students get a little fanatical. One of the things they do is try to talk about kabbalah in the framework of modern science.) http://www.gatherthepeople.org/Downloads/MYSTICAL_CREATION.pdf http://www.gatherthepeople.org/Downloads/NOTHING_BEING.pdf (The first one is a very very brief description of the kabbalastic understanding of creation and the second is a hasidic anecdote about the significance of action vs. spiritual devotion.) http://emol.org/kabbalah/seferyetzirah/ (info on sefer yetzirah) http://www.barmitzva.org/Kabbalah/138_Openings.htm (very important text circa the 18th c. by R. Moshe Chaim Luzzatto.) http://www.qlipoth.com/Default.aspx (This one is a very cool gematria calculator) http://www.milayomit.com/index.html (Goes over the Torah one word at a time.) http://myjewishlearning.com/ideas_belief/KabbalahMysticism.htm (a lot of different essays, many taken from books, about kabbalah from both traditional and academic perspectives.) Okay, that's a fairly diverse selection. Try not to get lost. --Dauer
Thanks! I have been looking into "The Work of the Chariot" but I know there'a a lot out there. I come from the viewpoint of Carlo Suares, if that helps, but it probably is Hermetic. Agains, thanks!
If you like hermetic kabbalah, the following sites may also be of interest: http://www.donmeh-west.com/ (neo-sabbatian movement) http://www.kheper.net/topics/Kabbalah/Kabbalah.htm (hermetic and jewish kabbalah. The site itself if you explore also has a lot of material on other topics that may be of interest.) http://www.digital-brilliance.com/kab/link.htm (lots and lots of hermetic and Jewish stuff.) Dauer
