Gematria is an ancient form of numerology discovered thousands of years ago. It is based on the Kabalistic teachings of the Torah and is used to study mysticism and numerology. The word 'gematria' is derived from the Greek for geometry and literally means 'measuring the earth'. The purpose of gematria is to gain a deeper understanding of words, numbers, and symbols in order to uncover hidden meanings. By understanding gematria and how it works, you can more deeply understand your own life experiences, as well as those of others.
A gematria calculator is a tool used by gematria enthusiasts to calculate the numerical values of words or letters according to their positions in a particular alphabet or language. Gematria calculators differ depending on what system they are based on - Hebrew, English, Greek, etc. - but all begin by assigning a numerical value (or kabbalah number) to each letter in an alphabet.
To understand how a gematria calculator works, it helps to know something about basic numerology first. Numerology assigns numerical values to letters according to the natural order of their sequence in the alphabet; for example, A = 1, B = 2, etc., up until Z = 26. By adding up these numerical values for each letter in a word or phrase, one can discern its numeric meaning or vibration. For example if one were to calculate the numeric value for "love" – L (12) + O (15) + V (22) + E (5) – they would arrive at 54 (12+15+22+5=54).
To make use of a gematria calculator one must first choose which system they wish it to be based on: Hebrew or English, along with an associated language or alphabet such as Aramaic or Yiddish. They will then be asked to enter either a single letter, word or sentence that they wish calculated; some calculators even accept multiple words. The calculation will immediately produce an output containing both the original word/phrase provided along with its related numeric value/s (or Kabbalah numbers). This can then be compared against other words with similar values for further study and interpretation thereof.
