About

My name is Alana O. and I am the Witch and the Artist behind The Grim Bear Shop. All of the art developed for The Grim Bear Shop has been created by me and I am a practicing Witch. I am a self-described Lazy Witch! (In other words, a very practical witchcraft practice.) Part of witchcraft practice includes Deity Work which is what brought me here.

I mostly work with Lilith and began creating deity candles for my own witchcraft practice in 2021. Now I create many deity and ritual candles for The Grim Bear Shop and share parts of my witchcraft practice online.  I started The Grim Bear Shop in 2021 to help witches personalize and grow their craft. I wanted to show that witchcraft can be practical, personal, and still be powerful!

The goal of The Grim Bear Shop is to provide tools, such ritual candles, deity candles, altar plates, and grimoire pages to enrich your spiritual practice and evoke empowerment within your witchcraft practice.

I believe witchcraft should be accessible to all. For that reason, The Grim Bear Shop's presence on social media largely focuses on sharing witchcraft tips, answering questions about witchcraft and deity work, and the occasional witchy DIY. You can find The Grim Bear on TikTok, Instagram, Threads, Pinterest, and on YouTube as The Grim Bear Shop. 

Look out for my annual series "31 Days of Lazy Witch Tips" this October!!
