Numerological Systems

 

In Gematria, each letter of the alphabet is assigned a corresponding numerical value, and the sum of the numerical values of the letters in a word or phrase is believed to hold esoteric or symbolic significance. Through this system, practitioners of Gematria can explore the hidden meanings and relationships between words, names, and concepts.

In the Hebrew alphabet, each letter is assigned a numerical value, usually from 1 to 400.

In the Greek Gematria system, each letter of the Greek alphabet is assigned a numerical value. Here are the Greek letters and their corresponding numerical values:

Α (Alpha)1

Β (Beta)2

Γ (Gamma)3

Δ (Delta)4

Ε (Epsilon)5

Ϝ (Digamma)6

Ζ (Zeta)7

Η (Eta)8

Θ (Theta)9

Ι (Iota)10

Κ (Kappa)20

Λ (Lambda)30

Μ (Mu)40

Ν (Nu)50

Ξ (Xi)60

Ο (Omicron)70

Π (Pi)80

Ϙ (Qoppa)90

Ρ (Rho)100

Σ (Sigma)200

Τ (Tau)300

Υ (Upsilon)400

Φ (Phi)500

Χ (Chi)600

Ψ (Psi)700

Ω (Omega)800

For example, the Greek word "Logos" (meaning "word" or "reason")

would have a numerical value of 373, calculated as follows:

Λ (Lamda) = 30

Ο (Omicron) = 70

Γ (Gamma) = 3

Ο (Omicron) = 70

Σ (Sigma) = 200

Total = 30 + 70 + 3 + 70 + 200 = 373

This numerical value of 373 for the word "Logos" is believed to hold symbolic and esoteric significance within the Greek Gematria tradition.

Similar numerological systems can be found in various other cultures and belief systems around the world.
