Kabbalah
When someone hears the word Kabbalah it can bring up a number of connotations including Judeo-Christian tradition, ritual magic, and pop culture. None of these connotations are necessarily wrong in some instances. However, the word Kabbalah actually means “Tradition”. Once one understands Kabbalistic teachings, it becomes clear that Kabbalah is a system of understanding the universe, deity, consciousness, and even oneself. It is an extremely flexible system that can work with literally any paradigm.
Meditation
Meditation is an important part of the Circle of the Dark Mother path. The purpose of meditation is to go within and then live within so that we can take our consciousness toward Liberation and the Supernal light. Our path is to raise our consciousness toward elevated consciousness so that we can realize our unity with the All and reach enlightenment.
Gnosis
​Gnosis is a Greek word meaning knowledge. It has been associated with early Christian sects, but actually pertains to any Tradition that believes in personal experiential knowledge.
