In 2004, I was the first person in 473 years to publish and draw
attention to the main gematria code of English. I went on to document how
its use underpins the symbols of Freemasonry.
When I applied my gematria knowledge to Shakespeare's Sonnets,
I soon found evidence to convince me that I was on the right track, but I was at a loss to understand
the numeric patterns confronting me. I needed to rediscover 'The Secret Language of Numbers' - from
the ground up. In practice, that meant building up an encylopaedia of number symbolism, one digit at a
time. It has been a decades-long undertaking.
It was way back in 2002 that I made the big breakthrough. I discovered an acrostic message hidden in the
Sonnets. When I put the first letters of every line in the Sonnets, in a rectangular grid, I
found the message, "KIT MARLOWE WROTE THIS". It had always been my main hypothesis that Christopher Marlowe
- who apparently died 12 days before the name Shakespeare was first appended to a piece of writing – was the
actual author of the works. The beauty of the acrostic derives from its disguised form. Whilst
those with a little knowledge of cryptography will claim an acrostic can only ever be accepted if the letters are
selected by a regular mechanical rule, in this case, they need to take onboard the concept of security
being procurred by means of double or triple layers of encryption.
The subtle genius of the Marlowe acrostic is that it has sufficient regularity to be found by anyone, but enough
irregularity to be discounted by those unaware of the principle underlying its higher-level 'distortion'.
That principle is the geometric patterning found in the Cabalistic practice of gematria. It was my understanding,
built up by decades of study, that allowed me to find the geometric algorithm which
precisely accounts for the message's deviation from mechanical symmetry. What is particularly neat
is that the key to this pattern is the name, "Christopher Marlowe".
My new book, out in 2026, 'Shakespeare's Untold
Story - The Marlowe Codes in Shake-speare's Sonnets', details major new findings and
updates the original discoveries from 24 years earlier.
Note
From 2004 to 2018 my website was known as "Peter's Gematria Site" and hosted at ‘masoncode.com’. In
that year, the domain host sold the domain to a third party without making any attempt to notify me.
I only discovered what they had done when I found myself unable to login to my site. The new owner
cloned 98% of the content of my website and hosted it on the same domain in flagrant breech of copyright.
I took what legal steps I could afford to seek redress. Unfortunately my pockets were not deep enough for
justice of any kind. The world's leading search engine agreed with my lawyer not once but twice that the
website was blatantly plagiarising my work, but they showed no interest in delisting it from their search
results.
