Maritxu created various Tarot decks which were published by Fournier including El Gran Tarot Esoterico in 1976 (with illustrations by Luis Pena Longa) along with its instruction manual.[7][8][9] This deck features classic Tarot motifs as well as variations inspired by French astrologer and tarot reader Eudes Picard.[8] Martitxu also created two Basque themed decks; the Euskal Tarot Mitika or Basque Mythical Tarot in 1982 (with illustrations by Angel Elvira which were inspired by Basque mythology)[9] and the Tarot de Euskal Herria in 1991 (with illustrations by Alfredo Fermín Cemillán "Mintxo"), which she dedicated "to all women, to help them interpret the Tarot wisely."[10]
In addition to her Tarot decks, Maritxu created over 36,000 grimoires for divination.[1]
A children's park is named after her in San Sebastian, where she lived for many years.[11]
