Madonna's contracts require that her dressig rooms contain cases of "kaballah water"

Well here's a surprise! Available from The Kabbalah Centre. No doubt, bottled at "the source"
;-D

Yes, I've noticed this too. Right around Beg-athon time they unload all the more "acceptable/mainstream" programming.

Sorcery is not compatible with the Holy Bible. Flirt with it to your peril.

Kabbalah, a form of mystical Judaism, is an esoteric teaching intended for men over 40 who have spent their lifetime studying Torah.

Wrong -- that's only the Ashkanazi view. Sephardi Jews have never restricted Kabbalah to men over 40. Rather, Kabbalah is deeply ingrained with our religious practice -- for both men and women.

ancient Jewish gnosticism

The Kabbalah ain't gnostic in the slightest. Ah, what more can I expect from a Catholic woman whose idea of interviewing a Kabbalah scholar is Gershom Shalom? Shalom is a hack academic, not a respected Kabbalist.

"Shalom is a hack academic, not a respected Kabbalist"

What constitutes a respected Kabbalist?

Work left uncompleted in this life is undertaken again in a future life until the task of transformation is done. Reincarnation is a fundamental tenet of Kabbalah. The world and our place in it cannot be understood without this key principle. (The Way, p. 86)

Is this what you believe?

I typed it from the Magazine itself, but I must have typed that word wrong. Probably Mystical.

You mean Iraq. Karbala is a city in Iraq, and it is a shrine town. It is a Shia holy site - location of the tomb of the martyr Hussayn. It is only revered by the Shia, has no real significance to the majority Sunni Islam.

The meaning of the word Karbala has often been debated - there are several explanations why the city was called that. It seems to have been named that after Hussayn was laid to rest there. Recently, some people have commented that it is odd that it is also the same word as the term for Jewish mysticism. Apparently, that is a co-incidence. Because it is the Shia heartland, Karbala in Iraq is also the centre of a type of different, but also mystical, type of religion.
