Bethsheba Ashe is the creator of the Shematria Gematria Calculator and a member of the American Cryptogram Association. Shematria is a research tool for people engaged in the study of the Bible and other occult texts. In 2015 she cracked the gematria ciphers of the Bible and the Book of the Law, and then spent thousands of hours deciphering the methodology of scribal and occult writers. She says that the best exegesis of a text flows from the methods actually used by its writer, including gematria.
