The Neutral Wisdom Podcast

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. Support the showEver 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. Support the showEver 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.Support the showEver 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.Support the showEver Forward!www.neutralwisdom.ca Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61563476112294www.instagram.com/neutral_wisdom
