The initial letters of their names happily constituted the word "cabal", which with even greater serendipity had a slightly sinister echo of the word cabbala (a secret mystical tradition of Jewish rabbis uncovering hidden meanings in the Bible.)— The Guardian World News
The word 'cabbala,' whose original significance was used in the sense of reception, or transmission, obtained at a later period the meaning of secret lore, because the metaphysical and theosophic idealities which had been developed in the Rabbinical schools, were communicated only to a few, and consequently remained the undisputed property of a limited and close organization."— Three Thousand Years of Mental Healing
An anonymous correspondent spells _cabbala_ as follows, [Greek: chabball], and makes 666 out of its letters.— A Budget of Paradoxes, Volume I (of II)
The Count was a toiler after supernatural secrets, an adept, and understood the cabbala.— The Journal of Sir Walter Scott From the Original Manuscript at Abbotsford
Beginning 'There is is no longer any Temple of the Sun' there is a disturbing resonance with the recognition by both Lettrists and Situationists that the 33rd degree Masonry embodied the final syllable of the secret word JAHBULON as a reference to the Biblical city of On - more recently Heliopolis - refined by ANONYMOUS to the deceitful (cunning) Albertopolis - a name which covertly draws in the European Monarchical cabbala linking the Kaiser to Ra, the sun-God, rededicated to Osiris, God of the Dead.— Brit Lit Blogs
