Cabala
(gcide) | Cabala \Cab"a*la\ (k[a^]b"[.a]*l[.a]), n. [LL. See Cabal, n.]
1. A kind of occult theosophy or traditional interpretation
of the Scriptures among Jewish rabbis and certain
medi[ae]val Christians, which treats of the nature of god
and the mystery of human existence. It assumes that every
letter, word, number, and accent of Scripture contains a
hidden sense; and it teaches the methods of interpretation
for ascertaining these occult meanings. The cabalists
pretend even to foretell events by this means.
[1913 Webster]
2. Secret science in general; mystic art; mystery.
