What Is the English Gematria Calculator?

While gematria originates from the Hebrew tradition, it has been adapted for use with the English alphabet. Our English gematria calculator transforms words and phrases into numerical values using three distinct methods: the ALW Cipher, English ordinal gematria (simple English gematria), and reverse ordinal gematria.

How to Use the English Gematria Calculator

Simply type or paste your text into the input field and select your preferred method from the below.

  1. ALW Cipher: Also known as English Qaballa (EQ), this system was developed by English magician James Lees in 1976 to understand Aleister Crowley's Book of the Law. It uses a unique sequence where A=1, L=2, W=3, and so on, taking every eleventh letter of the alphabet to create its sequence. This method is particularly significant in Thelemic studies, and some think that it fulfils Aleister Crowley's instruction in The Book of the Law to obtain the order and value of the English alphabet.
  2. English Ordinal: Also known as simple English gematria, this system assigns values from 1 to 26 to letters in sequence (A=1, B=2, C=3... Z=26). This basic numeric assignment provides a straightforward way to calculate word values.
  3. Reverse Ordinal: A reversed version of the ordinal system where Z=1, Y=2, X=3, and so on until A=26. This provides an alternative perspective on word values by inverting the traditional ordinal sequence.

After you click on the "Calculate" button, this English Qabalah calculator will then:

  • Calculate the total gematria value.
  • Show individual letter values.
  • Store calculations in history for reference.

Applications of English Gematria

The ALW Cipher is particularly useful for those studying Thelemic texts and occult practices, as it was specifically designed for analyzing The Book of the Law. For example, in the ALW system, words like "Jesus", "life", and "change" all share the value of 68, possibly revealing potential connections between concepts.

The simple English method, on the other hand, while more basic, provides a clear way to explore numerical relationships in English texts, similar to how Greek isopsephy was used in classical times.

You can use either method to:

  • Analyze religious and mystical texts.
  • Explore numerical patterns in words.
  • Study relationships between words with same values and their meanings.
  • Conduct personal research and exploration.
