	One example of Gematria is that there are twenty-two solid figures that are composed of [[polygon\|regular polygons]]. There are five [[Platonic solid]]s, four [[Kepler-Poinsot solid]]s, and thirteen [[Archimedean solid]]s. Since there are twenty-two [[letter\|letters]] in the [[Hebrew alphabet]] (aleph-beth), a correspondence is possible between these two facts.

'''Gematria''' is [[numerology]] of the [[Hebrew language]] and [[Hebrew alphabet]] originally. Modern magicians commonly practice it using other alphabets, including Greek, Latin, and English.

==Judaic Gematria==
===Revealed Gematria===
The commonest form of '''gematria''' is used occasionally in the [[Talmud]] and [[Midrash]] and elaborately by many post-Talmudic [[rabbinic literature|commentators]]. It involves converting words and sentences into numbers, usually by assigning numbers to each letter of the [[Hebrew alphabet]]. When converted to a number, they can be compared to other words and similarities drawn. A commentary almost completely dedicated to ''gematria'' is [[Baal ha-Turim]] by [[Rabbi]] [[Jacob ben Asher]].

===Mystical Gematria===
A system of recognizing a correspondence between the ten [[sefira]] on the [[Tree of Life]] and the twenty two letters in the [[Hebrew alphabet]]. This system is elaborated in many mystical [[Judaism|Jewish]] writings such as the [[Zohar]].

One example of Gematria is that there are twenty-two solid figures that are composed of [[polygon|regular polygons]]. There are five [[Platonic solid]]s, four [[Kepler-Poinsot solid]]s, and thirteen [[Archimedean solid]]s. Since there are twenty-two [[letter|letters]] in the [[Hebrew alphabet]] (aleph-beth), a correspondence is possible between these two facts.
