Gematria is an ancient numerical system used to assign numerical values to words based on their letters. A gematria calculator is a tool used to quickly and easily calculate the values of words or phrases in this numerical system.
Gematria has been used for centuries by Jewish scholars, who use it to uncover hidden meanings in the Hebrew scriptures. The numeric values of each letter are assigned from 1 to 400, and have been thought to have symbolic or mystical meaning. For example, the word for 'lord' in Gematria is typically assigned a value of 26.
Today, a gematria calculator can be used to apply this numerical system to more modern words and phrases. Some users apply modernoccult concepts when interpreting the results, while others simply use the calculator as they look for patterns and commonalities between words that share the same numerical value.
Using a gematria calculator is easy—simply type in your desired phrase or single word and then press 'calculate'. You will then receive both the conventional spelling of your entry as well as its Gematric value (the sum total of all its letter-based numerical values). You can also use advanced features such as sentence mode (which evaluates whole phrases and sentences). Alternatively, some calculators offer various modes that allow you to adjust parameters such as which gematriot should be calculated (e.g., biblical Olam ha Zmani Jewish Hebrew or Latin-based English).
