Interesting! There is more and more evidence that the practice of late antique and medieval Hebrew gematria developed out of Greek alphanumeric esoteric practices, so that’s a really fascinating connection to make. Idk if you know about Earl Fontainelle’s podcast, but he has a great episode on esoteric number practices of antiquity: https://shwep.net/podcast/the-numbers-dont-lie-joel-kalvesmaki-on-pythagorean-number/
Timely post! (Pun intended). Thought provoking on returns or transits of revelations that were never, till now, fully grasped or integrated. Yesterday I unraveled/wrestled a resident black/rat snake from our blue bird house in my garden. Gorgeous, well traversed and fed over the years on chicks and eggs. But my son and I oiled the pole with olive oil and left her a few feet away, while we went about our pond/garden tending. She eventually tried again but couldn't get a handle. I said goodbye as she slithered into the forest and I wondered about the oil on her tongue. I too, have a snake pendant that I wear every day. Have a Blessed f<king Day!
Whoa! Reminds me how the gematria for « moshiach » and « nachash » / messiah and snake have the same gematria
