cabalists
Occult tradition practitioners
Cabalists are practitioners or students of cabala (also spelled kabbala or kabbalah)—the mystical tradition of Jewish scriptural interpretation that seeks hidden meanings in sacred texts.
By extension, cabalists may be any group engaged in secret or esoteric pursuits: The cabalists in the finance department kept their methodology to themselves.
The word often carries connotations of secrecy or exclusivity.
