  terrance, please ... just because freud is probably the only one you've looked 
  at a little bit closer, it doesn't mean the others, in one or the other way 
  more or less influenced by freud, are "epigones".

  the compounding of kabbalah with pagan, gnostic & christian concepts in gr 
  especially refers to the golden dawn system of magic(k) (see pp. 747-748), 
  which became widely known in counter-cultural contexts through the magical 
  revival since the 1960s.
