Kabbalah is a form of Jewish mysticism. Despite being a deep and complex aspect of Judaism,[1] it has been taken up by several celebrities, reducing an otherwise valid[2] religious concept to wearing a red string around your wrist.
Notable "practitioners" of this celebrity-friendly religion include Madonna and her ex-husband Guy Richie who overused Kabbalic ideas in his film Revolver.[3]
Please keep in mind that Kabbalah in its original form is very complicated and probably nothing like Madonna has been told about it - according to traditional Orthodox Judaism, women shouldn't be studying it at all (Nor, for that matter, should anyone under 40 or single)!
Kabbalah has its own system of ritualistic sex, similar to Indian tantra. It is known as Karezza, and is apparently encoded in much of western art and literature [4]
Kabbalah, unlike most other sects of Judaism, teaches a belief in reincarnation. Adam was created a hermaphrodite, like God/Goddess. [5]
Kabbalic references are also frequently used in Japanese media for the sole purpose of looking cool (see Neon Genesis Evangelion).
