Gematria is an ancient practice of using letter-based numerical values to interpret words, names and phrases. It's a form of numerology and symbolism used in many spiritual traditions, from Judaism to astrology. But can we use this ancient practice for more modern purposes?
The answer is yes – and there's now a variety of free gematria calculators available online to help you interpret the meaning behind your words and ideas.
By entering matching words in a gematria calculator, you can determine if there are any hidden or not-so-obvious messages encoded within them. For example, an analysis of the word "love" may reveal the symbolic number 333, associated with the Trinity or threefold nature of the divine.
There are several free gematria calculators available online, each providing different features or interpretations. Most calculators will offer a basic numerical count based on your inputted text, but some may have further analysis tools such as Kabbalah/Hebrew alphabet analysis or spiritual/esoteric interpretations.
One great resource is ThePowerOfNumbers.com which has an audio interpretation tool to help you interpret the potentially hidden meanings within words. Another useful resource is 12timezones.com which offers 33 gematria calculators under one comprehensive suite for different kinds of analyses: English ordinal (1=A, 2=B…), English reverse (1=Z, 2=Y…), Hebrew ordinal (1=את״ר ,2=בת״ר…) and Gematria Prime (letter assigned a number representing its Kabbalistic value). In addition to its calculations, this site provides detailed explanations on how to work with gematria values such as analyzing parallel phrases in order to uncover deeper layers of meaning from text or scripture.
