Gematria (geometria) is an ancient alphanumeric coding system that is used to find meaning and connection in text. It is practiced by Jewish mythicists who follow the Kabbalah and was formerly used to interpret the Bible. The first documented use of this coding system dates back to 8th century B.C (1). English Gematria was later derived by German physician Cornelius Agrippa in 1533 and continued to expand to the occult tool used today (1). Modern day English decoders are known to use Gematria for sports betting, finding connections in headlines & anticipate future events.
