A cult is a social group that is defined by its religious or spiritual practices that are the same or similar to those of its members and the charismatic influence of a particular person, object, or idea. The term "cult" is often considered pejorative, as it can carry negative connotations of excessive devotion, manipulation, or even dangerous practices. In Hebrew, the word for "cult" is קולט (kul't). In other languages, it is known as Kult in German, culte in French, and secta in Spanish. Cults often emerge around a central figure or leader who claims to have special knowledge or powers, and they may demand high levels of commitment and adherence from their members. Cults can vary widely in their beliefs, practices, and organizational structures, but they are often characterized by a high degree of control over members' lives, isolation from mainstream society, and the use of persuasive techniques to maintain loyalty and commitment. The study of cults falls within the broader field of sociology, psychology, and religious studies, and it often involves examining the dynamics of power, influence, and belief within these groups.
This site lets you convert words, names, and phrases into numerical values using different gematria systems. You can use the main calculator gematria tool at the top of the page: type your text, choose a method, and press Convert.
The calculator gematria tool supports multiple alphabets and standard letter–number mappings. More systems will be added in the future.
The reverse gematria calculator uses the same alphabet as the standard system but assigns values in reverse order (for example, A = 26, B = 25, …, Z = 1 in a basic English reverse setup). This lets you compare standard and reverse values for the same text.
Enter the word Cult and press enter or button Convert. This will provide all selected gematria values for Cult.
