Qabalism 1925

1925. The word Qabalah literally means "reception”, there is no other word in English that better expresses it. The Qabalah itself is the sacred lore of the ages, received by man in all later ages by sanction of the Lodge. It was contained in the Bible, but so hidden that it was undiscoverable by non-initiates until today. In the meantime, the term has been given to certain writings of a mystic nature; and certain follies in literature called Gematria, Notariqon, and Temura, which were put forth as the keys wherewith the secret meaning of the scriptures could be discovered.
