> [@Babale](#): > > Unless Smapti is a member of one of the aforementioned tribes (unlikely since they are all extinct, if they were ever historical), and since Smapti isn’t a Jewish person who is worshipping a foreign God, what part of the quoted text is the problem? Originally, Kabbalah was a Jewish thing. The basic tenets were- The God of Abraham is real. No other gods are real. Hebrew is a sacred language. These are the secret magics contained in the Hebrew dictated by The Lord. Later, Christians wanted in. They changed the basic tenets. Later, other groups wanted in and changed a whole bunch of stuff- so much that they appear to have missed the point entirely. To perform a Jewish ritual from the Kaballah while worshipping any god other than the God of Abraham seems also to be missing the point. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/im-going-to-undertake-a-six-month-occult-ritual-ask-me-anything/1016475)._
