| The letters of the ancient Greek and Hebrew alphabets were used to also denote numbers. This gave rise to the practice of gematria, in which the numerical values of words were used for symbolic purposes. In some instances, this practice was consciously employed in ancient times, as in the case of the gnostic solar divinity Abraxas, whose name in Greek totals 365, the number of days in a solar year. Throughout the diagrams of the Number, Music, Geometry, and Astronomy sections, I have pointed out connections with significant values in Greek gematria. Connie Achilles
