Kabala: (1)A Hebrew word for “collected teachings,” referring to several different lists of books and manuscripts on various occult and mundane topics. Sloppy translations of a handful of texts in the Kabbalah of Mysticism, with Christian names and concepts forcibly inserted, are responsible for much of what is now called “Cabala” by western metaphysicians. If you can’t think fluently in Hebrew, you have no business trying to do Kabbalistic magic. (2) A general term for collections of magical and mystical texts from various cultures, thus “Greek Kabbalah,” “Arabic Cabala,” etc. Kachina: A (usually benevolent) supernatural being in Hopi religion; may be a personification of an aspect of nature, an ancestor, or something revealed in a dream. Kahuna: A practitioner of the old Hawaiian philosophical, scientific and magical system. Kama-kali: Ritual sexual intercourse in Tantra. Karma: In many eastern religions, the load of guilt or innocence carried from one incarnation to the next, determining one’s lot in the next life; often used by American occultists as a general term for moral responsibility, as in “You can do that if you want to, but it’s your karma.” The force of like attracts like. Do "bad" and you will have bad karma, do "good" and you will have good karma. See also "Law of Three Fold Return" and "Retribution". Karma Dumping Run: American occult slang for a ritual process of visiting someone’s “just deserts” upon them, by “concentrating the karma” they may have earned in their life (or recent past) and delivering it back to them in one brief period of time; usually done when someone is suspected of evil doing but proof is lacking, since it is considered a morally neutral way of stopping them. Kernunnos: Also "Cernunnos". Most commonly the "All Father", and a God of wealth. He is lord of animals and a God of life and death...the very essence of the Horned God. His magickal symbols are animal horns, a serpent belt, a stag, a bull, three cranes, a rat, and a bag of flowing coins. Kerridwen: Also "Cerridwen" or "Cerridwyn". Most commonly, the "All Mother", and a Goddess of inspiration and knowledge...the very essence of the Triple Goddess; called "The Ninefold One".

Kirlian in 1939 and which can be used to record energy fields around living or once living objects and beings. Although the “Kirlian auras” vary with emotional excitement and intent, there is as yet no proof that they are the same as the “psychic auras” traditionally seen by clairvoyants. Time will tell. Kitchen Magick; Kitchen Witchcraft A practical tradition of witchcraft mainly for suburban or budget-minded witches that allows one to utilize household items instead of the often difficult to obtain ritual items.
