english gematria is a system of numerical values assigned to words that can be used to calculate an answer to a problem or decipher the meaning of a piece of text. It is one of the oldest numerical systems in existence, as it has its roots in medieval Jewish scholarship and mysticism. It's been used in various forms since then, and today it has found its way into popular culture and online applications.
To understand how English gematria works, it helps to first understand its history and origin. In Hebrew, each letter of the alphabet corresponds to a numerical value. For example, 'aleph' has the numeric value of 1; 'beth' has the numeric value of 2; and so on. Eventually, this system was adapted for use within the English language by assigning each letter a numerical equivalent from 1–9 (a=1, b=2, c=3 etc.).
Using this system, words can be translated into numbers by summing up each letter's numerical equivalent to create an overall numerical value for the entire word or phrase. This concept can be used in numerous ways – from experiencing daily life values and attitudes to uncovering deeper spiritual truths within written text.
Beyond mathematics, English gematria is also used as a tool for divination or fortune telling. By decoding words according to their numerical values – mainly through numerological charts - one can gain insight into their future and current circumstances. This tool doesn't just rely on one-time readings either; many practitioners believe that patterns emerge from repeated readings over time and consider this method highly accurate.
In addition to its use in predictive practices, some people believe that using English gematria reveals hidden messages contained within written text – such as spiritual blessings encoded within scriptures or secret coded messages meant for only certain people with proper knowledge about its use.
