Thank you Charles for your note.
I carelessly spelled it kabara as it pronounced in Japanese.
As you noted, I found in the books I depended two kinds of spellings,
that begins with K and with C.
I corrected my page obeying the historian of religions.
As for the term occult, I wonder if it had a derogatory meaning to be
used for heretics.
Or is it just a word that means esoteric?
