Gematria is an ancient Hebrew technique of assigning numerical values to words or phrases, in order to create a deeper level of meaning or insight. This technique dates back to at least 500 BCE, and is used by many scholars and spiritualists to this day. Deciphering gematria can be a rewarding experience for those willing to take the time to explore its complexity and nuances.
The first step in deciphering gematria is becoming familiar with the symbolic language of the ancient Hebrew alphabet. The letters in the alphabet each equate to a number between one and five hundred. Knowing which letter equates to which number is essential in translating words into numbers. Additionally, understanding symbols associated with each letter will help you understand the deeper meanings behind them.
The second step is learning how to combine individual letters into words or sounds that symbolically represent concepts or ideas related to the meaning of each letter or word. Gematria relies on sequencing letters together in order to unlock potential meanings and insights related to each sequence. For example, if someone wanted to decipher the word "love" they would combine individual letters such as lamed (30), vav (6), mem (40), and aleph (1) to get a numeric value of 77 which according to gematria could represent light, divine love, unity, marriage, etcetera.
The third step is finding online resources dedicated entirely for decoding gematria such as websites with databases of words along with their various numerical values so that one can more quickly discern an idea from its context when using gematria as an interpretive tool. There are also many books written about how this technique works and even mobile apps that make computations easier for modern-day spinoffs of gematria like numerology and tarot readings, although these have become quite popular today they are not considered traditional forms of gematria like the original form that has been around since ancient times
