The record
Gabriel Vasquez, author of several books on herbs and natural medicine, had the inspiration for this tarot deck. Vasquez runs workshops, courses and lectures, and has written several books over his 27 year period of herb study, including 'Magic of Herbs', 'Medicinal Plants in the Basque Country', 'Remedies of Natural Medicine' and others. He now focuses on magical and spiritual aspects of plants and floral therapy, and his love of flowers lead to the creation of this deck with collaborating artist, Jabier Herreros Lamas. The Tarot of Magic Herbs differs from other herb-inspired tarots like the Tarot of Hellen and the Herbal Tarot by showing the herb incorporated into an inset scene, rather than stand-alone or simply worked into the Rider-Waite imagery. The oval-shaped card scene is located in the centre of the card, with the herb name in Spanish and English below, and the tarot title on top. All this is paced on a green and purple swirling background, which is a little distracting. Each of the seventy-eight cards is, naturally, associated with a specific European herb. The Fool is linked with Arnica, The Magician with Mistletoe, the Empress is of course the Rose, and Death is Cypre
