It's a random number generator. It's shuffled cards put in random order to tell a story, or focus someone on their own thoughts without distractions of self doubt. To bring order to a chaotic existence. Not all mysticism is superstition. Not all rituals are pointless, many attempt to bring people to a liminal state, an attitude of being in-between, standing at the threshold. We can keep the useful elements of these things and discard the rest. No one needs to base there life around anything they don't like.

You speak like a religious person because this is a superstitious ritual, have fun I guess but I think it's incredibly stupid.

You might as well try to read your future in PUBG loot boxes. Probably cheaper, too.
