Cabalas

/kəˈbɑːləz/ noun

Definition

The plural form of cabala, referring to multiple works, traditions, or schools of kabbalah and its mystical teachings.

Etymology

Simple plural of 'cabala' (see cabala entry); the '-s' ending makes it standard English plural form.

Kelly Says

The study of cabalas became so popular among European scholars, alchemists, and occultists that different schools developed their own interpretations—it was basically the medieval equivalent of TED talks for people interested in hidden meanings.
