Gematria is the ancient science of converting letters into numbers. A word or phrase can be converted to a number and then matched against other words or phrases with the same numeric value. The most famous gematria is in Revelations-the number of the beast-666.
It's a simple concept. A=1, B=2, C=3... for what is called the English Ordinal. For every ordinal, there is a reverse ordinal. For English: Z=1, Y=2, X=3... There are many reductions depending upon language and religions.
It is easy and fun to do. Let's try one. What is the English ordinal of the phrase "A dog"? It's the sum of all of the letters. A(1) + d(4) + o(15) + g(7)=27. An equal word is "race" r(18) + a(1) + c(3) + e(5)=27. That's all there is to it. Who does not like dog races?
