KABBALICIOUS

Not that Britney and Kevin are having one, but Demi and Ashton still might. So what the heck is a Kabbalah wedding anyway?

See this excellent Beliefnet article about the differences between classical Kabbalah and its contemporary Kabbalah Centre, "Philip Bergian" counterpart. Also interesting, the carnal metaphors utilized in Jewish mysticism. I wonder if the graphic nature of these metaphors is one of the reasons that traditionally men without families and under 40 (and all women at any age) were discouraged from Kabbalah study. Hmm.
