The Occult Knowledge Podcast

For centuries, humanity has sought forbidden wisdom — hidden in symbols, rituals, and ancient texts. Hosted by Ben Carter, The Occult Knowledge Podcast explores the secret traditions, mystical philosophies, and esoteric sciences that have shaped human civilization. From alchemy and astrology to hermeticism, magic, and sacred geometry, each episode uncovers the ancient principles that still influence religion, art, and power today. We don’t romanticize the occult. We study it — through history, documentation, and the patterns connecting it to our modern world. Because understanding the hidden… is the first step to seeing the truth. 🌐 Visit: www.theforbiddenknowledgenetwork.com 🔒 Subscribe on Patreon: Get complete video episodes, exclusive bonus content, and full access to everything on The Forbidden Knowledge Network. 👉 https://www.patreon.com/theforbiddenknowledgenetwork
