If I Could Talk to the Animals – A Discussion on Pets with Maga Peggy Nadramia 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 High […]

The “Human Experience” of Disability – with Rev. Robert Leuthold and Citizen Zac Verrill 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 Reality of Finality – Loss of a Soulmate and the Grieving Process with Reverend Jeff Ivins 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 […]
A Dilly of a Pickle – Lessons for Boys and Fatherless Men with Author Rev. Dr. Robert Ing 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 […]
Let Your Freak Flag Fly – Do You Hide Your Baphomet? 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. Social stigma, professional consequences, legal or government issues, or even personal safety can all result from being open about who you are. Do you “show your Baphomet,” or do you keep your religion to yourself? On this episode of The Neutral Wisdom Podcast, Satanist Robert Shirley […]

I AM THAT I AM – What Satanism Means to the Individual, Featuring Miz Wiz 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 Robert Shirley discusses what Satanism Means to the Individual and is joined by Miz Wiz (again). Spotify / Apple […]

Thinkin’ About Inkin’? A Discussion with an Artist and a Canvas! Public perception of tattoos and body art has really evolved over the years. No longer mainly associated with bikers, sailors, and criminals, tattoos are widely embraced by people from all walks of life, from homemakers, college students and lawyers to…bikers, sailors and criminals. (Some things never change!) The tattoo process is experienced by both the artist and the client, who must work together to attain mutual satisfaction from the art. But what about the “realities” of living with tattoos? Is there a stigma still associated with tattoos and body […]
