Count me in for another of the voices supporting Kabbalism as a reasonable source of inspiration for the sorcerous worldview. Sephiroth (and for that matter Qlippoth) correspond reasonably to some nodes.
Also enochian magic as a source of inspiration, as practiced by John Dee. Tarot is also an inspiration for some traditions, though not all.
God Learner sorcery was probably a bit like Golden Dawn, or some Crowley. A grab bag of whatever they could find, including some stuff that is very mechanical and dispersonal, and some stuff that is rather overtly theist (even if the 'worship' is only a mechanism of convenience). And some stuff that is culturally inappropriate (Hindu Tattwas, Egyptian deities) but just so convenient.
I lean in the direction of Zzaburism and other esoteric high sorcery drawing on Alchemy.

I agree. There are large areas of the Otherworld that are not particular to a particular worldview, and innately hostile to others. That sounds fine to me, and doesn't make it any less 'unique'.
