The Neutral Wisdom Podcast

Pets are animals we bring into our homes and lives mostly because we love having them around. The companionship, comfort, and joy they bring us makes them part of our family, like trusted friends who are always there when we need them. Pets are admired for their loyalty, strength, and unique personalities - qualities that many Satanists also respect and value. On this episode of The Neutral Wisdom Podcast, Satanist Robert Shirley discusses pets and our relationships with them and is joined by Church of Satan Maga Peggy Nadramia.Ever Forward!Support the showEver Forward!www.neutralwisdom.ca Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61563476112294www.instagram.com/neutral_wisdom

“Warlocks produce, rather than pontificate; create, rather than crow!”This quote, one of Magister Dr. Robert Johnson’s Nine Ways of the Warlock from his book, The Satanic Warlock, is a guideline for all Satanists; it reminds us that we need to being doing something with our lives in order to be the best version of ourselves.But, not everyone is a Satanist!

What is a Soulmate?Merriam Webster defines a soulmate as: “a close friend or romantic partner with whom one has a unique deep connection based on mutual understanding and acceptance”Whether you believe in the concept of soulmates or not, there is no denying a connection we can have with someone which feels like it is on a whole other level. Although we as Satanists do not recognize the “soul” as an energy or life-force, “soulmate” is an apt term we can use to describe the one person who is suited to us and only us. The person with whom we feel deeply connected; the person who makes us feel loved, safe, and understood. Soulmates share a mutual respect, genuine love, and complete understanding of each other.Eventually, however, soulmates must part, whether through circumstance, or death. How does one deal with the death of a soulmate? When a part of you is “ripped away” and leaves you feeling empty and incomplete?  On this episode of The Neutral Wisdom Podcast, Satanist and Satanic Warlock Robert Shirley discusses the loss of a loved one and the grieving process and is joined by Church of Satan Reverend Jeff Ivins.Ever Forward!www.neutralwisdom.ca Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61563476112294www.instagram.com/neutral_wisdom

Satanic Rule of the Earth #1: "Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked." Make perfect sense, really. Yet, in all walks of life, people are compelled to do that very thing. (Some of us even write books about it!) Do people today need advice and guidance from others? And is it better to say what people should do in a given situation? Or what they should not do?And what does this have to do with pickles, anyway?On this episode of The Neutral Wisdom Podcast, Satanist and Satanic Warlock Robert Shirley discusses advice and guidance and is joined by Dr Robert Ing, author of “Lessons for Boys and Fatherless Men.”Ever Forward!www.neutralwisdom.ca Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61563476112294www.instagram.com/neutral_wisdom

We are Satanists - proud of who we are, prouder still to be our own gods. We highly value aesthetics as one of the ways we express our individuality.However, openly showing an affiliation with Satanism can be risky, depending on your environment.

Satanism is a religion that emphasizes individualism, personal freedom, and self-determination. Satanists prioritize self-empowerment, personal responsibility, and rational self-interest. The definition of Satanism is an easy one; but the real question, and the one we find we are most often required to answer, is: Why? WHY are we Satanists? What does Satanism mean to me? To you?On this episode of The Neutral Wisdom Podcast, Satanist and Satanic Warlock Robert Shirley discusses what Satanism Means to the Individual and is joined by Miz Wiz (again). Ever Forward!www.neutralwisdom.ca Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61563476112294www.instagram.com/neutral_wisdom

Music and Lesser Magic: Both tools which can be used to evoke a response from people. We put a set of notes together to make music, or we put a set of skills together to make magic; in either case, we achieve our desired outcomes through influence.As such, is there a correlation between music theory (the "language" of music) and the elements we need to employ in Lesser Magic (the "language" of Lesser Magic)? On this Season 3 premiere episode of The Neutral Wisdom Podcast, Satanist and Satanic Warlock Robert Shirley discusses music theory and Lesser Magic and is joined by CoS Magister Bill M.Ever Forward!www.neutralwisdom.ca Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61563476112294www.instagram.com/neutral_wisdom
