What brings people together, and, more importantly, why do some friendships endure while other cease or fade away?On this episode of The Neutral Wisdom Podcast, Satanic Warlock Robert Shirley discusses friendships and relationships and is joined by his best friend of almost 40 years, Beaker S.Ever Forward!www.neutralwisdom.ca Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61563476112294www.instagram.com/neutral_wisdom

What’s In a Name?Maybe, it is an opportunity to be another person; to embrace one’s “Is To Be”; Maybe, one chooses a new name to compliment one’s Satanic Identity. Your name is part of your identity; it is deeply personal. Likewise, hearing a strong name immediately gives an impression about the person attached to it.On this episode of The Neutral Wisdom Podcast, Satanic Warlock Robert Shirley covers pseudonyms and Satanic Identity and is joined by Warlock Arashi Enyo and Witch Delilah Charmer to discuss their chosen pseudonyms and how they use them to enhance their Satanic selves.Ever Forward!www.neutralwisdom.ca Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61563476112294www.instagram.com/neutral_wisdom

Stepping into the unknown can be scary and uncertain; it's natural for us to seek safety and security, but real growth often happens when we challenge ourselves and take risks. Stepping outside of our comfort zones and embracing uncertainty can lead to personal development and a deeper sense of accomplishment.However, our brains hate risk! When faced with situations that involve risk or uncertainty, the brain often triggers feelings of anxiety or fear as a way to protect us from potential harm; we are more likely to avoid taking that risk.  Sometimes the thought around risk does not involve, “What if I fail?”; sometimes, it involves, “What if I SUCCEED?” Perhaps success in our endeavor might not have a positive outcome for us either!On this episode of The Neutral Wisdom Podcast, Satanic Warlock Robert Shirley discusses risk vs reward and is joined by Church of Satan Reverend Storm Anderson and Priestess Renee Anderson to discuss their own personal experiences in their lives.Ever Forward!www.neutralwisdom.ca Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61563476112294www.instagram.com/neutral_wisdom

The World Health Organization defines Mental Health as: “A state of mental well-being that enables people to cope with the stresses of life, realize their abilities, learn well and work well, and contribute to their community.” While the definition of mental health itself has remined constant, attitudes towards it have changed greatly over the last few decades. Mental Health Awareness has replaced stigma and misunderstanding; there is a willingness to spread awareness and information today, as opposed to seeing mental health as an issue to be kept to oneself. On this episode of The Neutral Wisdom Podcast, Satanic Warlock Robert Shirley discusses mental health and is joined by special guest Crusty Pete from the Pete Being Pete and 2 Old Men Howling at the Moon podcast. Ever Forward!www.neutralwisdom.ca Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61563476112294www.instagram.com/neutral_wisdom

Seduction is mostly seen as negative by society; it is temptation and enticement to cause someone to do something they normally would not and is usually (but not always) sexual in nature. Satanists, on the other hand, see seduction as an art! It is the art of charming someone - male or female - by appealing to the senses. However you look at it, seduction is the working of Lesser Magic (consciously or unconsciously) to achieve an end goal or get what you want. Having people bend to your will, getting people to surrender to you, is seduction.On this episode of The Neutral Wisdom Podcast, Satanic Warlock Robert Shirley discusses the Satanic Art of Seduction and is joined by Miz Wiz for her input on seduction in a long-term relationship. Ever Forward!www.neutralwisdom.ca Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61563476112294www.instagram.com/neutral_wisdom

Everyone has daily rituals – no matter how small or mundane – which they use to bring a sense of order and control to their lives. To quote Magus Peter H. Gilmore:"Rituals enhance productivity, offer solace, create focus, and most importantly assist as potent means towards catharsis of emotional states that might linger and hinder one from moving towards one’s chosen goals.” On this episode of The Neutral Wisdom Podcast, Satanic Warlock Robert Shirley discusses ritual and how it applies to daily life, and is joined by cigar afficionado and retailer Drew Bradley to discuss the ritual and art of premium cigars.Ever Forward!www.neutralwisdom.ca Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61563476112294www.instagram.com/neutral_wisdom

‘Caveat emptor, quia ignorare non debuit quod jus alienum emit,’: Latin, which translates to: “Let a purchaser beware, for he ought not to be ignorant of the nature of the property which he is buying from another party.”Knowledge and learning are the base principles of Caveat Emptor, as this is how we exercise our due diligence before entering into a transaction; we must educate ourselves about what we are buying so we can recognize if there are any issues with it. On this episode of The Neutral Wisdom Podcast, Satanic Warlock Robert Shirley discusses knowledge and learning and is joined by Citizen Dave O’Neill, a luxury vehicle mechanic who will provide tips about purchasing used vehicles.Ever Forward!www.neutralwisdom.ca Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61563476112294www.instagram.com/neutral_wisdom

Much has been written in Church of Satan Canon about Greater Magic and Ritual; it is encouraged that all Satanists engage in ritual at least once, and many have in some form or another.But what about the new Satanist, or the one who has avoided Greater Magic and Ritual altogether?
