Gematría / Gimatria

Gematria or gimatria

(Hebrew: גימטריה‎, gēmaṭriyā) is a system of assigning numerical value to a word or phrase, in the belief that words or phrases with identical numerical values bear some relation to each other, or bear some relation to the number itself as it may apply to a person's age, the calendar year, or the like. The word "gematria" is generally held to derive from Greek geōmetriā, "geometry", which was used a translation of gēmaṭriyā, though some scholars believe it to derive from Greek grammateia, rather; it's possible that both words had an influence on the formation of the Hebrew word.[1] It has been extant in English since the 17th century from translations of works by Giovanni Pico della Mirandola. Although ostensibly derived from Greek, it is largely used in Jewish texts, notably in those associated with the Kabbalah. The best-known example of Gematria is the Hebrew word Chai ("life"), which is composed of two letters which add up to 18. This has made 18 a "lucky number" among Jews, and gifts in multiples of $18 are very common among Jews. Some identify two forms of gematria: the "revealed" form, which is prevalent in many hermeneutic methods found throughout Rabbinic literature, and the "mystical" form, a largely Kabbalistic practice.[2] Though gematria is most often used to calculate the values of individual words, psukim (Biblical verses), Talmudical aphorisms, sentences from the standard Jewish prayers, personal, angelic and Godly names, and other religiously significant material, Kabbalists use them often for arbitrary phrases and, occasionally, for various languages. A few intances of gematria in Arabic, Spanish and Greek, spelled with the Hebrew letters, are mentioned in the works of Rabbi Abraham Abulafia[3]; some Hasidic Rabbis also used it, though rarely, for Yiddish[4]. However, the primary language for gematria calculations has always been and remains Hebrew and, to a lesser degree, Aramaic.

Hebrew Gematria / Jewish Gematria

The hebrew gematria and the jewish gematria, also known as gimatria.
Finding numerical relationships between words and phrases Within the earliest Jewish traditions, groups of Jewish scholars counted the number of times each letter appeared in the Scriptures (as well as the number of words, verses, paragraphs, etc.). These textual specialists were called Soferim (counters). The Soferim ensured that every Torah scroll (and the other books of the Tanakh) were identical, noting any unusual words and spellings and replicating them exactly through their scribal arts. Many Jews believe that Ezra the Scribe instituted many of the practices of the Soferim. In the medieval mystical text called Sefer Yitzirah: The Book of Creation, the letters of the Alphabet are described as the stones used to build a house. They are called the “twenty two letters of foundation.” This doctrine highlights the belief in the essential relationship between letters, words and the creative process. Gematria is a type of numerological study that may be defined as one of more systems for calculating the numerical equivalence of letters, words, and phrases in a particular Hebrew text. These systems are used for the purpose of gaining insight into interrelating concepts and for finding correspondences between words and concepts. Although not identical, gematria is also in the same orbit as the so-called “Bible Codes” and “Equi-distant Letter Sequences” (ELS) that have become fashionable recently. According to most practitioners, there are several methods used to calculate the numerical value for individual words and phrases. When converted to a number, words/phrases can then be compared to other words/phrases and similarities drawn. I list the most common Hebrew gematria methods below.

English Gematria

This code is based on the old English alphabet of 24 letters. It is well-known and its use has been documented well back into the medieval period. One such example is a poem coming from a manuscript in the collection of Balliol College, Oxford (1). The numbers here spell out by means of gematria the letters I H E S U S (Jesus). In this case the poet provides a gloss on the poem to help the uninitiated, "this goth by the letters of the abse (A B C) as the letters stonde in nombre". What he doesn't gloss us on is the fact that the gematria total of his poem has an equally pious message entailed. The total value of the letters is 778: this implies that Jhesus is HKHN HGDVL - the Hebrew name of 'The High Priest'. It also reminds the devotee that Jesus is the high priest of Εκκλησια Θεου - 'The Church of God' (2).

Latin Gematria

These gematria values are recorded in Agrippa's Three Books of Occult Philosophy (1532), Book II: chapter xx. The Latin based code appears a bit irregular when presented in this way. The reason for this is that it is based on the 23 letter Latin alphabet. The additional letters 'J', 'V', 'Hi' and 'W' ('Hu') were recognised as representative of separate sounds and used to increase the alphabet to 27 letters - and three tiers of nine digits.
Gematria is the numerical valuation of words or phrases. For this reason, it is often called Numerology, but this term tends to imply a more New Age style computation and application of the valuation. Gematria tends to refer to the more traditional processes and purposes.
I don't know what sort of additional attributes are given to words or phrases under the seemingly endless forms of numerology out there, but according to The Magician's Companion, edited by Bill Whitcomb, the only "real" purpose for gematria is to identify pairs of words or phrases which, having valuated to the same result using some form of gematria, make a good subject of meditation or comtemplation, trying to see what the words might have in common, revealing relationships between the words that are otherwise not generally considered.
Gematria is often used to hide information, using a variety of techniques collectively called "Notorikon", from those not initiated to the system of Notorikon employed.
Although any valuation system which assigns numerical value to words and phrases is legitimately called gematria, there is pretty much one system of valuation which is considered standard for Hebrew and one for Greek. (I'll include the valuation tables to this page at another time.)
In English, there are multiple systems in use, but the most common include these:
1. A straightforward valuation of 1-26 for A-Z;
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
2. A rotation of the linear evaluation every 9 letters, which is a modified form of the AIK BEKAR system used with Hebrew gematria;
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
A B C D E F G H I
J K L M N O P Q R
S T U V W X Y Z
3. E.·.Q.·., which uses the values 1-26 but in a permutation which skips to each 11th letter;
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
1 20 13 6 25 18 11 4 23 16 9 2 21 14 7 26 19 12 5 24 17 10 3 22 15 8
For more information on E.·.Q.·., read The Discovery of English Qaballa, by Carol Smith.
In Latin gematria, the most common system of valuation seems to be the Latin Qabala Simplex, called that because it is quite simple: The letters are simply assigned values from 1 to 22 in the order in which they occur.
My strongest source on the matter was "In The Continuum", Vol V, No. 1., which can be ordered from the Temple of Thelema.
The Latin Qabalah Simplex is simple:
A B C D E F G H I L M N O P Q R S T V X Y Z
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22
Then just add 'em up. No base 9 rotation like AIK BEKAR. Just simple addition.
For example:
INTERIORES ADVERTE
I N T E R I O R E S
9+12+18 +5+16 +9+13+16 +5+17=120
A D V E R T E
1 +4+19 +5+16+18 +5=68
120+68=188
Using Roman Numerals, 188 is
C (100) + L (50) + XXX (30) + V (5) + III (3) or CLXXXVIII
Hence, 'INTERIORES ADVERTE' is abbreviated 'I.A. 188' or 'CLXXXVIII'.

Simple Gematria / Numerology Base

Gematria - Cryptic Numerology of the Cabala
The esoteric material presented on these pages involves the revelation of information which has been hidden. Throughout history, individuals and organisations have chosen to guard their secrets by various cryptic means and gematria is not only one of these, but arguably has the most distinguished provenance of any. Although gematria starts with the book of Genesis, was ubiquitous in the culture of the ancient Greeks and forms a blueprint for the foundation of Christianity, the main focus of this website concerns more recent history and the culture of the English speaking world. In particular, the gematria of English provides the key to unlocking many of the secret doctrines of the Freemasons and the true identity of the greatest writer in the English language, William Shakespeare.
What is Gematria?
The Oxford English Dictionary defines gematria as, "A cabbalistic method of interpreting the Hebrew Scriptures by interchanging words whose letters have the same numerical value when added." This is actually a rather restrictive definition because gematria was every bit as important to other peoples in antiquity, and examples of its use are more common in the culture of classical Greece than in Judaism.
Hebrew and Greek are the two languages with which gematria has been traditionally associated and until now the gematria of other languages has not been on such a secure footing. On this website I demonstrate that English, with its origin in Latin script, is every bit as valid a language for gematria and that its heritage by this means is as rich as those of Hebrew and Greek. The only difference being that the gematria coding of English has been one of the best kept secrets of the English-speaking world.
How does it work?
Gematria works on the premise that the letters of the alphabet can also be used as numbers, and therefore words and phrases acquire distinctive numerical values. A well known example is that of God, whose name spelt in Hebrew, is IHVH (). The values of these four letters are 10 - 5 - 6 - 5, thus the 'number of His name' is 26. It follows from this, by means of numerical equivalence, that God is identifiable with AHBH and AChD - Love and Unity - because the letter values of these two words sum as 1 + 5 + 2 + 5 and 1 + 8 + 4 = 26.
Why the name Gematria?
Gematria is said to derive from the Greek word Γεωμετρια - meaning Geometry. It may also be compounded with the word Γραμμα - meaning Writing. The reason for the geometric connection is because the rules of sacred geometry play an important part in the secondary encoding of literary cabala. Isolated numbers, such as 26, have only limited utility: they are the words of the numerical language. The sentence structure, or grammar rules, derive from number patterns which are conformed according to the properties of 'sacred' geometry.
The Creator
We can consider, for example, a Vesica Piscis - one of the most important figures in sacred geometry. A vesica with a width of 26 - IHVH (the Creator), has a height of 45, which is the gematria value of the man he created ADM - Adam. The difference between God and man is 45 - 26 = 19. This is the value of the woman created as a companion for Adam, ChVH - 'Eve'. In this way the sacred vesica defines the relationship between the Creator and mankind.
God's primal act of creation is encapsulated by the first verse of Genesis. The Hebrew words here - BRAShITh BRA ALHIM ATh HShMIM VATh HARTz - have a value of 2701. Among the many interesting properties of this number is the fact that it comprises the sum of 26 squared (676) and 45 squared (2025) - hence the combination of God and Adam. This means that the 26 by 45 rectangle enclosing the vesica of creation has a diagonal of the square root of 2701.
In addition to this, the circle within which the rectangle may be precisely drawn has a circumference of 163, and by this means can symbolise that which was created: AaVLM HZH - 'This World'. It is also a fact that the area of the rectangle is equal to that of a square with a perimeter of 139: the value of - GN ALHIM - the Garden of Eden. Furthermore, the difference between 2025 and 676, gives the value of GN ALHIM when the final letters N and M are counted high - 1349. At the same time, the area of the rectangle is equal to that of a circle with a radius of 19 - ChVH - Eve.
There are unfathomable mysteries in the gematria of Genesis and this but a gleam from the crest of the tip of a very large iceberg.
