A talisman is an object that is believed to have magical properties or to bring good luck to its owner. The term is derived from the Greek word "telesma" (τελεσμα), which means "rite of initiation" or "consecration." In Hebrew, a talisman is known as a קמיע (pronounced "kamia"). Other relevant translations include Amuleto in Spanish, Amulett in German, and Talismano in Italian. Talismans are often distinguished from amulets by the belief that they contain some agent that causes the desired effect, rather than merely warding off evil. They have been used across various cultures and historical periods, often inscribed with symbols, words, or images thought to invoke protection, health, or prosperity. The creation and use of talismans are deeply rooted in folk traditions, religious practices, and esoteric beliefs, reflecting the human desire to influence the unknown through symbolic and ritualistic means.
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 Talisman and press enter or button Convert. This will provide all selected gematria values for Talisman.
The site is designed to be compatible with common online tools and calculators, including the shematria gematria calculator and other popular gematria tools.
