Comic books: Most of us read them as kids, and some of us continue to read into adulthood, even though movies, TV shows, and video games now deliver superhero stories in more accessible formats. 

Yet, comic books remain appealing because they are the perfect mash-up of art, storytelling, and pure escapism, all while also indulging your inner 8-year-old who just wants to see someone punch a robot through a skyscraper.

On this episode of The Neutral Wisdom Podcast, host Robert Shirley discusses the art and appeal of comic books and is joined by author and CoS Reverend Anders Lundgren.

A motorcyclist must be hyper aware of their environment and practice good motorcycling skills to ride safely and effectively. The rider must be able to scan and identify potential situations or hazards, predict possible outcomes, decide on a course of action, and execute that action to ensure they will live to ride another day.

Sounds an awful lot like Lesser Magic, doesn't it?

On this episode of the Neutral Wisdom Podcast, host Robert Shirley is joined by Satanist Dave O’Neill to discuss the correlation between motorcycling skills and Lesser Magic. 

Also on this episode – the Neutral Wisdom Podcast is proud to present the world premiere of “Alchemy” by Reverend Grigori T. Cross!

"Masculinity" typically refers to a set of attributes, behaviors, and roles associated with boys and men by conventional society (often contrasted with femininity, although both are social constructs that can be expressed by anyone, regardless of gender). Common traits linked to the traditional definition of masculinity include strength, resilience, leadership, responsibility, honor, stoicism, and independence. 

But is this concept of “manhood” or “manliness” expected by society positive or negative? And, is the traditional masculine approach to things always the best approach?

On this episode of the Neutral Wisdom Podcast, host Robert Shirley discusses "masculine pride" and is joined by Satanist Karl Svennson.

As it is said, “everybody’s a critic”; also popular, but less politically correct, is the old adage, “Opinions are like ***holes – everybody has one and they all stink”. 

And while everybody is indeed a critic, there are some who are unable to take criticism, whether that is because they were always shielded from it growing up, or are simply very sensitive. However, often time it is the manner of criticism or feedback we receive that affects how we are going to take it. Is the criticism constructive, or helpful? Or is it destructive, just plain mean for the sake of cutting someone down? 

On this episode of the Neutral Wisdom Podcast, host Robert Shirley discusses constructive and destructive criticism, and is joined by New Zealander and blues musician Mark Hill.

"Satanism is not a cause and does not need champions."

While Satanists hold this statement to be true, the misconceptions about Satanism are many -  people project their own fears or misunderstandings onto it, and worse, showcase their ignorance via incorrect postings on social media. 

But, do we need to defend our philosophy of self-empowerment, individuality, and personal responsibility?

On this Season 4 premiere of the Neutral Wisdom Podcast, host Robert Shirley discusses defending Satanism and standing up for your beliefs, and is joined by CoS Reverend Jared Mammon of the "Once Again, That Isn't Satanism" Facebook group.

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.

“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! In fact, there are a lot people out there who work just as hard (or harder!) at doing nothing, as we do at producing! 

On this episode of The Neutral Wisdom Podcast, Satanic Warlock Robert Shirley discusses Way of the Warlock #5 and is joined by a Welfare Fraud Investigator.

The "Human Experience" is the deeply personal and shared journey of being alive - of being aware that we are here, now, and that this moment matters. 

However, this is not the same for everyone! The Human Experience of being disabled is a layered and often paradoxical journey—defined not only by one’s own body or mind, but also by how the world responds to it. It includes learning to live with something, and what it means to live against the assumptions of society. 

On this episode of The Neutral Wisdom Podcast, Satanist and Satanic Warlock Robert Shirley discusses living with disabilities and is joined by Citizen Zac Verrill and Church of Satan Reverend Robert Leuthold.

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.
