From my college notes (lol):
----------------
Kabbalism -Kabbal – Hebrew book of mysticism
-metaphysical + mystical, a system by which the elect shall know God + the universe
-person will gain knowledge above common knowledge + allow him to understand the profound meaning + plan of creation
-esoteric knowledge – it contains secrets that are imminent; the secrets are in the holy scriptures
-that knowledge can’t be grasped by those who understand the text literally
-The Old Testament is a book of symbols + the narratives are like a cloak that cover those sublime revelations
-Hebrew letters in which texts are written are not just signs
-the letters/numbers in sacred scripture are reservoirs of divine power
-a realm of magic + divination

From Johnny Weir, a figure skater who practices Kabbalism: Kabbalah which is an ancient Jewish mystical belief system. It is about shedding your ego and killing negative energy.

People who practice Kabbalism may sometimes mistakenly be considered Jewish, but Judaism has rejected this practice. (Though I'm sure there are Jewish people who practice it, but I hope you get what I'm saying).
