It’s interesting to consider how mathematics was viewed in ancient times, often interwoven with other disciplines and seen as the mystical language of nature rather than the sterile way it is often taught today. The legacy of Pythagorus is as much about reincarnation, music, and philosophy as it is about geometry. Numerology and geometry has played a huge role in religious practices from the I Ching to Gothic cathederals. Most divinitory practices are essentially algorithms for generating randomness, not only granting the benefits you mention but also allowing the guide to tap into their intuition and semi/unconscious mind, which may produce insights not as easily accessible via analytical methods.
