What is gematria?
Gematria is the ancient practice of assigning numerical values to letters. In Kabbalah, words with equal values are considered mystically connected — revealing hidden relationships in sacred texts.
Hebrew system
Aleph=1, Bet=2 … Yod=10, Kaf=20 … Qof=100, Resh=200, Shin=300, Tav=400.
English gematria
Assigns A=6, B=12 … Z=156, in multiples of six — a popular modern system.
Simple gematria
The straightforward A=1, B=2 … Z=26 mapping used for everyday word numerology.
