Well I wouldn't be one to say yay or nay on that, there are a lot of different beliefs surrounding the idea of the Abyss. Some people equate it with the 'Veil' and would see any penetration in to divinity as a crossing. Others view it as a more distinct threshold between the "Godhead" and the rest of the Divinity and associated with Da'ath on the Tree of Life. This is a common magical view, especially stemming from Thelema. In this idea the "soul" can cross the threshold, but not the personality. In other traditions this is seen as only possible at the point of death.
However, reading the Sepher Yetzirah one of the main books of Qabalah it actually describes multiple abysses, and so I feel like most modern magical thinking probably reflects the influence of Thelema, considering that's also what Wicca is derived from.
Also, I would say I don't think it's unusual when seeking upwards towards divinity to experience it in 'layers'.
