Actually, using the Tarot as part of a magical style is *very* appropriate
to Hermetic magic. Try sitting down and thinking about how a Tarot mage
would go about working their magic, then create a Hermetic mage with
appropriate fetishes. FASA has left most of Hermetic magic completely
undefined, other than the circle used for conjuring, so there's lots of
room for making yourself a mage with a distinctive but thoroughly Hermetic
style. Assign the four suits of the Tarot to the usual four elements and
the corresponding spell categories, keep the Major Arcana for health spells
and metaplanar stuff, and get more detailed from there...
