I stumbled across this document at Sacred Texts, http://www.sacred-texts.com/jud/zdm/index.htm. It's a translation of a portion of the Zohar. I edited Genesis, Chapter 52 and created a PDF; the original is very difficult to follow and digest.
What got my attention is its references to the "luminous mirror." That sounds a lot like Waite's "bright reflection" in his description of the High Priestess. In a way it seems as if the HP could be the Zohar, insofar as the Zohar is a mystical interpretation of the Torah.
I included the whole thing, it's only one page and there are other interesting bits.
