Gematria Tarot Cards

Gematria Tarot Cards are a unique fusion of two ancient divination systems: gematria, a form of Jewish numerology, and tarot, a deck of cards traditionally used for divination and cartomancy. The term "gematria" (גימטריה) comes from the Hebrew word gimatriya, meaning "geometric" or "mathematical," referring to the practice of assigning numerical values to Hebrew letters to find hidden meanings in words and phrases. In the context of tarot, gematria is used to analyze the numerical values of the cards' titles, keywords, or other textual elements, providing an additional layer of interpretation. This practice is particularly popular among those who seek a deeper, more esoteric understanding of tarot readings. While gematria is rooted in Jewish tradition, its application to tarot cards is a modern innovation, often found in Kabbalistic and occult circles. The practice requires a basic understanding of both gematria and tarot symbolism, making it a niche but fascinating area of study for enthusiasts of both systems. Translations of the term "gematria" include "guematria" in Spanish and "gematria" in French, reflecting its use in various linguistic and cultural contexts.
