Hello Bob:

While the astrological arts (both Western and Eastern), are an
important area of study for me, and Kabbalistic exegesis is also an
area of personal importance; I have to respecfully disagree that
Kabbalah is a certain "third" of the work. Essentially, because
ALchemy is not exclusively of a Western nature. The Indian and
Chinese schools, for example, come to mind, and naturally, there is
no Kabbalah involved, yet they are quite successfull in what they do,
using paradigms suited to their modalities, which are quite numerous.
