I'm Trevor. I'm 24 years old and this is my second journey into Thelema. My first took place about three years ago, while I was into a lot of drugs and other destructive habits. Long story short: did you ever see that movie "The Number 23"? I pretty much went crazy and ended up losing my job (in the middle of a recession to boot) and after that happened, it took about four months to reverse all the paranoia and obsessive behavior I'd adopted.
Fast forward to this week: the other night, I picked up 777 and thumbed through it. It picqued my interest, but it wasn't until watching Pi last night that I considered taking another look at Gematria.
I found this forum by searching "Gematria for beginners" and have already made some progress. In that particular thread, someone dissected the name "Veronica" and came up with 362; I was able to replicate these results after a few tries and the process made sense. (Though I'm still wondering how "Jason" equates to 777, especially when the O and N alone equal 770. More study is needed).
It's good to be back!

I see now...I was using Yod Aleph Samekh Ayin Nun-Final. So far, I have four English letters attributed to Vau--V, U, W, and now (certain) Os.
As for personal names, I'm not looking to do much more than get used to properly translating words at this point, and these translations happened to be kicking around the Gematria for Beginners thread.
