The Tudor Era
Famous for a Mandela Effect Henry VIII eating a turkey leg and actual extreme divorces of two wives Henry had decapitated. Rapid population growth, rising inflation, currency devaluation, wealthy merchants and landowners and poverty aplenty for the not wealthy landowners. Summed up pretty well by Sir Francis Bacon of the now renamed Francis Bacon gematria cipher:
“Usury is the certaintest means of gain, though one of the worst.”
Which means find a way of sitting on passive income and milking it forever. Mostly through labor exploitation of those not owning land or running a business of dubious long term moral value. Low level grifters took the Eddie Murphy from Trading Places route of faking disability and injury to beg. Highwaymen staged accidents so well meaning passers by would stop and get robbed. And log in this one for later - gambling debts were sky high. The destitute loved themselves some of the gambling. Court intrigue was sexy and Ocean’s Eleven with low tech style fun and games and intrigue where the Trump Administration of the era maneuvered around for big stakes pieces of land and other rich people shit.
The Victorian Era
Yes, think of your classic Dickens novels. Street urchins pickpocketing. Also going on were quack medicine scams RFK Jr. would be proud of, pawnbroker scams and imprisonment of the impoverished. My favorite for today is the hot bed of fortune telling scams that flourished.

Today I learned there’s an old Italian gambling game called Primero, considered by some to be the immediate precursor of poker. And wherever there’s a card game that’s more luck than skill you’re going to get cheaters alongside the gambling addiction. Since one of the main purposes of sports betting gematria is normalizing the risk of gambling I wondered, why have I not seen a Primero cipher? Perhaps in a different multiverse’s Earth there is one. It could simply be added to the calculator alongside the current ciphers. The thing about Primero is that it’s played with a 40 card deck. There are no 7’s, 8’s, or 9’s. G=10 instead of 7. H=11. I=12. And without those three digits skip 17,18, and 19 and jump right to 20. And of course you have to have a Reverse Primero cipher, mostly because it sounds like a new variation of Uno. It would be just another cipher to ignore the results of if you don’t like the number, or tout it as magical if you do like the number.

Victorian Era seances, now those guys were cool. All the wires and the actors and ventriloquists. Glowing shit and ghostly voices. The stage magic tricks that got Houdini fired up to debunk these fraudsters. Another facet of gematria not emphasized so much now is the occult angle. Mostly because it emphasizes how low effort, lazy, and mass marketed the gematria grifters are. There’s no complexity to do a long con present. No set up and need for precision execution. Just throw out a tremendous volume of nonsense out on the internet and wait to see who bites. Despite all the years of failure, these clowns still pretend they are fortune tellers. It doesn’t matter if it’s actual gambling or decoding bad news and synchronicity, the game or event is over before the fortune is read. If gematria actually worked, somebody would have put out a decode at least several days ago indicating, “You know, I think Trump is crazy enough to actually bomb Venezuela on January 3rd. Here’s my decode.” We’ll probably have to wait until today’s football games are finished to find out exactly why the Jesuits tiled it out the way they did. Because of course it has nothing to do with oil or distraction from the Epstein files.
