I had a problem when I tried to choose one of the branches of Kabbalah for a deeper study) It's like learning a foreign language on your own or with a teacher (who knows the subject well and can explain and correct the wrong for the right one). When working independently, it is very difficult to distinguish right from wrong. I tried to study the Western "philosophical branch" of Golden Dawn, Fortune, Butler, Ashcroft-Nowicki, Regardie, Gareth Knight, and came to a dead end. I tried to read A. Kaplan's comments and realized that without knowledge of Jewish culture and tradition, I can also quickly come to a dead end. So here I stand at a dead end), not knowing where to move on. I can list a dozen more esoteric directions on similar topics, and in them I also see for myself a dead end for further study (Now I probably feel the feeling of "playing beads", the excitement of searching and studying has passed, and the prospects for moving on are not yet visible.

A little off topic, but until recently I didn't think that there are three columns inside the Kaaba...

It is true that Kabbalah is quite difficult to pursue autodidactically, although not entirely impossible. 

"Hermetic Kabbalah" is a unique syncretic branch which has fused Kabbalah with western occultism and magical practice. 
However, my understanding is that this type of Kabbalah is more built around practical working and is more like a tool derived from the study of Kabbalah.
The branch which many of the old occultists drew from in developing this tool is Lurianic Kabbalah. 
Naturally, Kabbalah is a Jewish philosophy, and so any attempt to go deep will necessitate a learning of Jewish culture. This is true for any culturally rooted tradition.
