Bonnie Cehovet at Aeclectic Tarot:
“Patric Stillman’s Brotherhood Tarot filled a specific niche in the Tarot world when it came out, and expanded the available choice of decks for those reading for clients that were either gay, or connected strongly with the gay world.”

Artist Statement: In 2003, I went on a spiritual journey of personal discovery for a year as I traveled across California. With camera in hand, I took solace in the whispers of the ancient Redwoods in Northern California and the rantings of the Joshua Trees in the Mojave Desert. Returning to San Diego, I gathered friends and strangers alike to select found objects that created the visual foundation of the cards.
In creating Brotherhood Tarot, I aimed to offer a deck that speaks directly to the LGBTQ+ experience, blending ancient tarot symbolism with radical faerie queer iconography. The deck is a reflection of community, empowerment, and personal truth.
