Hardly. "Sacred geometry" is an old concept. Pythagoras included plenty of mysticism in their approach to mathematics (or it was the other way around). Astrology requires quite a bit of math (especially since astronomy includes a lot of astronomical knowledge). And so on.

In a way, one could say that "mathematics of magic" couldn't become a trope until after the rise of the scientific method, which split alchemy into chemistry and (magical) alchemy; astrology into astronomy and (magical) astrology, and so on. Before that, it was all simply part of natural philosophy.
