Description

The symbol table following appeared in the “Last Will and Testament” of Basilius Valentinus. It has been augmented with symbols from other sources such as the Alchemist’s Handbook of Fra. Albertus, Pernety’ s “The Great Art”, Rola’s book on Alchemy, items taken from the works of Agrippa and John Read and symbols from the Bacstrom Manuscripts. The purpose of this expansion is simply to make this dictionary more useable. This “cross -breeding” has introduced some duplicate entries but they will serve as a cross-reference. The latter part of these tables is a Geniatria dictionary. For those desirous of seeking possible hidden meaning in the alchemystical writings thru the Qabalah, the Hebrew of ‘key’ aichemically-oriented words are presented along with their numerical equivalence, phoneticized Hebrew and any textural or Bibical references that may be significant. hwn (Hans W.

GEMATRIA The purpose of the following gematria dictionary is to provide a convenient reference for those interested in pursuing the possibility of numerical codes in the Alchemystical writings. These entries are no means complete and are the Hebrew words only pertaining to alchemy. The possibility of Greek and Latin gematria certainly exists but the reader must pursue his own devices in this regard. For the Hebrew alchemical terms, the English word is given in the first column, the anglicized Hebrew in the second column and the numerical equivalent in the third column. Following the third column, a Bibical reference might be given or some other note that may be useful. In some cases, there are several words in Hebrew that convey the same sort of meaning. In most cases of this sort, the various choices are all given. The user will find Sepher Sephiroth and a Hebrew dictionary most useful here. It is hoped that the below offering will prove useful to those fond of these pursuits.

The below table gives the anglecized equivalent for a particular Hebrew letter as used in the gematria dictionary. The numerical value is also given. In the anglecized word, no attempt was made to delineate various final letters having particular numerical value. Instead, the “normal” form of the Hebrew letter has been used.
