Traditional Kabalah, like the Madonna version, is built on a text called the Zohar - a text which is first attested in 1290. It teaches such doctrines as metempsychosis (transmigration of souls), plurality of the Godhead, mystical emanations and the efficacy of magical incantations.

Who are you quoting? It is clear you have never studied the Zohar. It is one text for Kabbalah, but not the primary. The Zohar is a commentary on the Torah and other Scripture. It is mystical, but so are portions of the New Testament. Also, the Zohar affirms the Oneness of G-d. Your assertion is an often quoted, never attributed statement. It is available in English for crying out loud.

You begin with condescension. It is apparently very important for you to reassure yourself that you are better-read than I am. When you are ready to discuss matters seriously, let me know.

A type of ancient Book of Mormon. Thanks but no thanks.
