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?
