Kabbalistic numerology, also known as Hebrew numerology or Gematria is a type of numerology rooted in the Hebrew alphabet. In this system, each Hebrew letter corresponds to a number. This way, by assigning numerical equivalents to words or phrases, one can uncover profound interpretations or insights into their spiritual or mystical significance.
Originating from Jewish mysticism and particularly the Kabbalistic tradition, this method aims to comprehend the mystical elements of the Hebrew Bible and the universe. The belief is that the numerical equivalents of words and phrases can unearth concealed truths and links, offering a deeper understanding of the divine and the cosmos.
Those well-versed in Kabbalistic numerology often employ these numerical values to scrutinize texts, interpret dreams, or delve into spiritual concepts. It’s widely viewed as a multifaceted and secretive system that necessitates a profound understanding of Hebrew and Kabbalistic teachings for accurate interpretation.
