María's tarot journey began circa 2006, after she bought a deck behind her parent's back that she hasn't put back ever since (well, truth be told, she did put it back, since half of it was lost at some point. Fret not, she replaced it with a new copy and then some!). What started as a hobby, turned into a passion that eventually became her full-time occupation in late 2015. In 2017, she established herself as The Sibyl's Tarot. At present, María is a reader of multiple systems, divination teacher, international speaker and author of Tarot Tableau Revolution with Weiser Books, coming out in Fall 2025.
Her signature style, known as Tarot Tableau, blends traditional tarot and European cartomantic techniques, resulting in a system that aims to make tarot effective, useful, and to the point. As a reader, she employs a combination of prediction and analysis, exploring the possibilities available and offering actionable steps to provide her querents with a 360º perspective on their situation, always in a practical, down to earth and relatable manner.
While tarot is her default medium of divination, she enhances her practice with other divinatory systems, with Lenormand and the Oracle Belline being two big favorites. She has designed two decks; The Oracle Belline Reimagined and The Thinning Veil Oracle, and has been a colaborator in the guidebook of The Voice & Vision Tarot by Ciro Marchetti.
As one of the Directors of the World Divination Association and its Spanish-speaking branch, WDA Hispana, María is dedicated to promoting the love for divination worldwide. The World Divination association is a passionate and easy-going international community of diviners of all walks of life that provides high-quality, accessible education in traditional divination systems, fostering a supportive and engaging network of like-minded peers around the globe.
Education is a cornerstone of her work, and she offers diverse online courses at the World Divination Association, such as Tarot Tableau Techniques, Exploring Sexuality Through Tarot, Tarot Death and Grief, and Oracle Belline, to name a few. She also enjoys cultivating closer relationships with her one-on-one students through private mentoring lessons tailored to their needs.
María has had the privilege of presenting at numerous online and in-person conferences, including the World Divination Association Big Bang Conference, Lenormand Summit, Divination Pride, Stockholm Tarot Conference, World Divination Association Virtual Conference, and StaarCon 3, 4 and 5 and, this July TABI Summer Conference.
Beyond her undying love for tarot reading, María indulges in her other passions, including history and antiques, especially the world of antique jewelry, literature, cross-stitching, travel, and spoiling her bratty cats. She is based in Madrid and resides with her fabulous husband, acting as the live-in servants of their five entitled kitties with an extraordinary skill to steal and chew cards.
