Neo-pythagorism and Tarot : Alain Bougearel's theory

Namadev

XXIInd / XIIITH : alpha and omega of the 4th arithmological sequence

Last but not least : the Math cannot make a trick so it isn't a
Trump.

Not entirely true, because tte most ancient rules in French consider
that there are 22 Trumps (in which 3 Highs -Bagat, Monde et Math).

The Math can also make the last trick in a great schlem...

pythagoras and Tarot

I do think it is plausible that there is a pythagorian influence on the structure of Tarot. I'm surprised that the board game Rhythmomachia is not mentioned here. This is a medieval Chess like boardgame played on a 16x8 board. Rhymomachia uses playing pieces with numbers chosen based on pythagoran number theory. If a boardgame could be influenced by arcane, no pun intended, number theories, so could a card game such as Tarot.
