Lesson Overview
In this lesson, you’ll discover how ancient mystics used letters and numbers to decode the divine pattern behind names and words. Gematria reveals the vibrational essence of who you are — showing how your soul expresses itself through language and sound.
1. What Is Gematria?
Gematria is an ancient system that assigns numerical values to letters, revealing the hidden frequency behind words and names.
It originated in Hebrew mysticism (the Kabbalah), where every letter of the Hebrew alphabet carried a number and a sacred meaning.
Through time, it’s also been used in Greek, Latin, and English (often called English Gematria or Simple Cipher).
When we translate our name into numbers, we can see patterns that reflect our spiritual vibration, life themes, and soul lessons.
You can think of it as your numerical soul signature.
2. Why It Matters
Words carry vibration. When you speak your name, you’re invoking your frequency.
Gematria helps you:
- Understand your soul frequency through your full birth name.
- Recognize repeating numbers and their deeper messages.
- Align your name vibration with your life purpose and spiritual path.
- Compare your personal number to divine archetypes (like “LOVE,” “LIGHT,” “TRUTH”) to see which frequencies you naturally resonate with.
3. The Simple Gematria Chart (English)
Each letter corresponds to a number:
| A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
| J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
| S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |
When you reach 9, the pattern repeats.
Add all the numbers together for your full name.
If the total is more than one digit, reduce it by adding the digits together —
unless you get a Master Number (11, 22, or 33).
Master Numbers are not reduced further because they hold intensified spiritual meanings.
Example: Joanna Albrecht
Joanna:
J = 1, O = 6, A = 1, N = 5, N = 5, A = 1
→ 1 + 6 + 1 + 5 + 5 + 1 = 19 → 1 + 9 = 10 → 1
Albrecht:
A = 1, L = 3, B = 2, R = 9, E = 5, C = 3, H = 8, T = 2
→ 1 + 3 + 2 + 9 + 5 + 3 + 8 + 2 = 33
✨ Normally we would reduce to 6, but 33 is a Master Number, symbolizing “The Master Teacher.”
So your overall energy includes both:
- 1 (Initiator, Independent, Leader)
- 33 (Spiritual Teacher, Christ Consciousness, Compassionate Service)
Together, that gives a powerful signature of “Leadership through Love and Illumination.”
Master Number Meanings
| Master Number | Archetype | Essence |
|---|---|---|
| 11 | The Illuminator | Intuition, inspiration, spiritual vision |
| 22 | The Master Builder | Manifestation, large-scale creation, grounded wisdom |
| 33 | The Master Teacher | Unconditional love, compassion, spiritual healing |
| (44) | The Master Healer | Embodiment, divine power anchored in matter |
5. Meaning of the Numbers
| Number | Soul Archetype | Essence |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | The Leader | Independence, originality, new beginnings |
| 2 | The Peacemaker | Balance, cooperation, sensitivity |
| 3 | The Creator | Expression, joy, communication |
| 4 | The Builder | Stability, structure, order |
| 5 | The Explorer | Freedom, adventure, change |
| 6 | The Healer | Compassion, love, service |
| 7 | The Mystic | Wisdom, introspection, spirituality |
| 8 | The Manifestor | Power, abundance, authority |
| 9 | The Humanitarian | Completion, forgiveness, universal love |
6. Reflection Prompt
- What number did your name reduce to?
- How does this vibration show up in your life?
- Where do you already express this energy naturally?
- Where might you be resisting or evolving it?
7. Optional Practice
Try calculating the Gematria for a word or concept that’s meaningful to you — like “LOVE,” “HEALING,” or “TRUTH.”
Then compare its number to yours.
Are you aligned or balancing a different frequency?
8. Integration
Each number represents a sacred tone in the symphony of creation.
Your Gematria number helps you tune your life to the frequency your soul came here to play.
