Many people actually mean the Tree of Life glyph when they say Qabalah. The Tree of Life is the pictorial representation of Qabalistic thought a concentrated image containing all the philosophical and magical concepts of Qabalah. However strictly speaking Qabalah is the whole tradition of thought embodying a history of millennia of development and mystical experience as well as the glyph. Qabalah offers the student the opportunity to follow a well-defined and multi-layered map of consciousness expansion and self-integration and balance.
