Re: Renamed to Alternative

Well, there's really two different versions of Quabbalah - the traditional Jewish 'mysticism' - which co-exists quite well along side the rest of Judaism, and the magical version which has been co-opted and has very little to do with Judaism - I think the latter belongs in Alternative, while the former fits in Judaism. Of course, the fun becomes trying to figure out which is being addressed... Madonna's version is the latter.

The only times I've encountered the Qabbalah as a central focus is in the magick traditions - though obviously such a well-regarded system is going to be referenced in more syncrete approaches to spirituality.

What I'd like to suggest is that we leave Qabbalah in Magick for the time being, but if the topic comes up in the Esoteric or New Age boards, I won't make any attempt to move them to Magick.

Does that sound better?
