The Qabalah is a secret mystical tradition that expresses the universal and natural laws, truths, and principles, the Ageless Wisdom or Perennial Philosophy, behind the world's great mystical traditions. Passed down through the ages by Hellenistic, Muslim, Jewish, Christian, and Hermetic scholars, it is often called, "the yoga of the west". Like yoga and Buddhism, it is both ancient and eternal. Putting its principles into action can help practitioners to solve the mysteries of life and in doing so, lead a healthier, happier more balanced life.
