Witch bell crafting is a traditional craft that involves the creation and decoration of bells that are used in various witchcraft rituals and practices. These bells are believed to have magical properties and are often used to ward off evil spirits, protect against negative energy, and invoke positive energies. The process of witch bell crafting typically involves several steps. First, a bell base is chosen, which can be made of various materials such as brass, copper, or even clay. Next, the bell is carefully crafted and shaped using specialized tools. This step requires patience and skill to achieve the desired shape and size.
Personally I find Wally's plasticky , spray-tan orange face to be kind of creepy, and I've heard stories of children crying at the sight of him. I wouldn't like Wally to represent me, so why should we let him represent our athletic teams?
Furthermore, if our mascot is going to be a human, he should look like a cartoon, not like a plush doll body with a large shiny face and giant human eyes. UP went five years without a mascot before the reinstatement of Wally, and while I appreciate their gift, I believe that much more thought and creativity should have gone into his design.
This step requires patience and skill to achieve the desired shape and size. Once the bell is formed, it is then time to decorate it. Many witches choose to adorn their bells with symbols, runes, or other sacred designs that align with their intentions and purposes.
Choose Popeye as UP's new mascot
I think it's time for someone to address the elephant in the room - the unappealing elephant named Wally Pilot.
In 2009, Wally Pilot was given to the UP community as a gift from the graduating class. UP went five years without a mascot before the reinstatement of Wally, and while I appreciate their gift, I believe that much more thought and creativity should have gone into his design. A mascot needs to be appealing and endearing, and it needs to pump you up for a game. Furthermore, if our mascot is going to be a human, he should look like a cartoon, not like a plush doll body with a large shiny face and giant human eyes.

Now is the time to reevaluate our options, before our mascot costume gets dingy and the University orders another one. There may be an opportunity here to adopt a sea-faring mascot that everyone loves, and I know just the guy: Popeye the Sailor.
Popeye is classic, loyal, spirited and a fighter. It's clear from Wally's current design that the University wants a mascot to exhibit strength. Popeye's superhuman strength could outshine Wally's cotton-filled biceps any day. Besides all of this, Popeye has sentimental appeal. He would be the ideal mascot for the University of Portland, and I believe that we could make it happen.
If the University of Oregon can manage to get permission from the Walt Disney Company to use the cartoon image of Donald Duck as their mascot, it's possible for us to get Popeye the Sailor to be the new face of Wally Pilot.
While Popeye is currently trademarked by King Features, he has already been public domain in Europe for four years now due to different European trademark laws. Getting permission to use his image may be easier than we'd expect. Think about it, UP. Let's get a mascot we can all be proud of!

These symbols can enhance the magical properties of the bell and help to attract specific energies or spiritual entities. After the decoration is complete, the bell is often consecrated or blessed before it is used in rituals or spellwork. This involves imbuing the bell with the practitioner's energy and intention, often through prayers or rituals. This step is important as it helps to strengthen the bond between the witch and the bell, making it more effective in their magical practice. Witch bells can be used in a variety of ways. They can be rung during rituals or ceremonies to mark the beginning or end of a specific phase, to call upon spirits or deities, or to clear negative energy from a space. Some witches also use bells in their spellwork, either by ringing them to amplify the power of the spell or by incorporating them into talismans or charms. In addition to their magical uses, witch bells can also be appreciated for their aesthetic qualities. Many witches take pride in the craftsmanship and beauty of their bells, often displaying them as decorative items in their homes or sacred spaces. Some witches also believe that the sound of the bells themselves can have a soothing or healing effect on the mind and body. Overall, witch bell crafting is a revered practice in the witchcraft community, with practitioners often taking great care and pride in the creation of these sacred objects. Whether used for protection, guidance, or spiritual connection, witch bells play an important role in the practice of witchcraft and are treasured by those who engage in this ancient craft..
