Gematria is an ancient practice of assigning numerical values to words, letters, and phrases. Traditionally used as a powerful tool in scriptural interpretation and liturgical guidance, Gematria has recently been gaining wider recognition as an intriguing form of numerology. With the rise in interest in Gematria calculations, technology has bolstered the practice with the creation of Roman gematria calculators.
A gematria calculator is an online tool that simplifies tedious calculations by taking a word, phrase or verse and automatically returning its numerical value according to the system of gematria calculation. It is important to note that different religious traditions assign values differently; some Jewish practices using a simple alphabetical order (1=Aleph, 2=Beth, 3=Gimel) while Christian traditions use other systems such as Greek or Latin-language alphabets for their calculations. Thankfully modern calculators are able to take into account these unique systems and automatically adjust for them.
To begin, users input their word or phrase into the calculator's text box which may have options to choose from different languages or numerical systems. The calculator will then calculate each letter's corresponding value according to its assigned numbering system and display the results at the bottom of the page. This numerical result can then be used with traditional gematria tools such as cross references of similar numbers with other words or verses and component divisibility tests which can reveal deeper spiritual meanings within passages or individual words.
