These new phenomena are accompanied by a new rationale that is described in the article under the title “the sacralization of randomness.” The shift of religion and magic to the virtual realm brings about changes in theology, cosmology, ethics, practice, and religious/spiritual values, and these are demonstrated and discussed via the test case of digital divinations.
