Brianna is currently the human behind @coyotesupplyco on Instagram & all the merchandising & visual elements of the store (translation: they find the treasures & they make the treasures look pretty so you can discover the treasures). Here are some of Brianna's FAQ and answers:
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A WITCH? I was raised Pagan by my Irish-American mother & I've been actively practicing witchcraft for almost 3 decades. (I'll be 38 in February 2024 for those of you trying to do the math)
BIG 3? Pisces sun, Capricorn rising, Libra moon.
WHAT KIND OF WITCH ARE YOU? I don't believe in binaries so if you're asking if I'm a good witch or a bad witch, or if I practice black magic v white magic...those ideas are rooted in colonialism & we don't do that here *stares in Iloko Grandma* I'm a zero waste witch, which is why you haven't seen me shopping around much in the local magical scene, I rarely purchase tools because I've been practicing so long that I've had everything I need since high school. When I do need something, it's usually an herb a friend grows or from a bulk bin at the co-op. My practice is rooted in Celtic, Appalachian, Chinese, Ilocano, & Kapampangan folk magic observed from my family & explained through books. When you start studying, you realize that literally everyone practices magic, they just don't know that they're doing it; which is why we also don't believe in baby witches here.
WHAT THINGS OUTSIDE THE STORE DO YOU RECOMMEND? I have been feeling an energetic glow up these past few years thanks to Pyrite Gem Essences & "Witches, Bitches, & Hos" in my daily Barry's Tea; courses by my friend Jessie Susannah aka The Money Witch ; these courses by The Workout Witch ; and a weekly "Business Goal Setting & Lamenting" call with my favorite zero waste baddies Polly & Marissa. Day off goals are usually: watching Malthus conjure the ghost of Björn with this planchette cat toy from my friend Dana's store, batch cooking, & catching up on shows.
