About Gematria
Gematria is a system of assigning numerical values to letters, words, and phrases. By calculating these values, practitioners find connections between words that share the same number. The practice originated in ancient Hebrew and Greek traditions, where letters doubled as numbers.
Today, gematria is used to analyze names, dates, and phrases for hidden meanings and patterns. Many researchers apply it to news events, pop culture, and historical occurrences to uncover symbolic relationships.
What are Ciphers?
A cipher is a specific system for converting letters to numbers. Different ciphers use different value assignments, so the same word produces different totals in each cipher. Some ciphers are ancient, others are modern inventions for specialized analysis.
Occult Decode supports 18 different cipher systems. Each reveals different patterns and connections in the text you analyze.

Finding Matches
The power of gematria comes from finding words and phrases that share the same numerical value. When two different words equal the same number in a cipher, researchers consider them connected. The calculator searches a database of phrases to find matches for any word you enter.
For example, these three words all share the value 74 in Ordinal:
| Phrase | Ordinal | Reduction | Chaldean |
|---|---|---|---|
| Occult | 74 | 20 | 19 |
| Tarot | 74 | 20 | 16 |
| Energy | 74 | 38 | 28 |
Notice how “Occult” and “Tarot” also match in Reduction (20), showing an even stronger connection. The ring highlights indicate matching values across the selected phrases.
