The Forbidden Library Podcast

The Forbidden Library Podcast

Hidden within the world’s oldest books are truths that were never meant to be read. Hosted by Ben Carter, The Forbidden Library Podcast unlocks the mysteries of ancient manuscripts, lost scrolls, and banned writings that shaped human history — from mystical grimoires and secret religious texts to occult codices and hidden philosophies buried by time. Each episode deciphers the symbols, teachings, and translations that reveal how ancient knowledge continues to influence our world today. This isn’t mythology. It’s history — preserved in ink, guarded in silence, and rediscovered one page at a time. Because some books were never written to be read by everyone… Only by those who were ready. 🌐 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
