Maritxu (María) Erlantz Guller* (Isaba, Navarra 1912 [1] - San Sebastian,1993[2]), also known as the “sorgin ona” or white witch of Ulia, was a teacher, tarot reader and fortune teller who supposedly had paranormal powers.[3]
Maritxu worked as a teacher in Irañeta during the Spanish Civil War.[4] In 1938 she married a Swiss man named Giovanni Guller [1][5] who encouraged her to deepen her studies in parapsychology. The couple moved to San Sebastian in 1952 and settled in a caserío in Mount Ulia[1][5].
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.[6][7][8] This deck features classic Tarot motifs as well as variations inspired by French Astrologer and tarot reader Eudes Picard.[7] 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)[8] 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."[9]
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. [10]
