Forbidden Library

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.

Poring over the pages of a puzzling manuscript, we delve into the enigma of the Oera Linda Book. Unearthed in the 19th century, this text, written in Old Frisian language, allegedly documents an ancient civilization dating back 4,000 years, long before the Romans, Greeks, or the ancient Egyptians. It challenges accepted beliefs about the chronology of human civilization, proposing an audacious narrative that the true cradle of Western civilization was not the Middle East, but Europe. Yet, the Oera Linda Book is wrapped in layers of mystery, controversy, and doubts concerning its authenticity. We explore this cryptic manuscript and its claims, seeking to understand its origins, its contents, and its impact on our understanding of history.
Immerse yourself in the lively debate surrounding the Oera Linda Book. As we navigate its complex narrative, you'll encounter a world where women held positions of power, where democratic governance existed millennia before it was conceptualized by the Greeks. You'll also uncover the cultural context of the 19th century when the book surfaced, a time seething with nationalism across Europe. We delve into the book's physical form and its cryptic language, its tales of matriarchs, heroes, wars, and societal norms. Embark on this journey with us as we illuminate this artifact of forbidden knowledge, probing the boundaries of history and questioning the foundations of our past.

Immerse yourself in the enigmatic world of the Dead Sea Scrolls, discovered mid-20th century, shedding a piercing light on the ancient texts hidden deep within the arid caves of Qumran. One cryptic text, referring to a mysterious figure known as "The Teacher of Righteousness", has sparked a myriad of interpretations and theories, igniting heated debates in religious and academic spheres. Journey with us as we explore the profound implications of these theories, from the possibility of a hidden Messiah to the dramatic reformation of Christian history.
The Essenes, a Jewish sect that lived in isolation near the Dead Sea during a tumultuous period in Jewish history, are often identified as the authors of these scrolls. Their ascetic lifestyle and beliefs are reflected in the texts, offering unique insights into their community and the broader Second Temple period. The Dead Sea Scrolls and the mystery of the Hidden Messiah offer a fascinating look into a community on the fringes of Jewish society, living in expectation of a divine intervention that would reshape the world.

The Book of the Cave of Treasures is an early Christian work traditionally attributed to late antiquity, preserved in Syriac and later translated into other languages. The text presents an expansive narrative tracing sacred history from creation through the early biblical lineage, blending scripture, legend, and theological interpretation. Scholars have debated its origins, authorship, and purpose, noting how its themes reflect the religious and cultural environment in which it was compiled.
In this episode of Forbidden Library, we examine what is documented about the text’s historical background, its transmission across centuries, and the claims surrounding its influence on later religious traditions. By reviewing surviving manuscripts, scholarly commentary, and reported interpretations, this investigation explores why the Cave of Treasures continues to attract interest—and how its blend of tradition and theology has shaped enduring questions about early sacred history.

Hidden for centuries in monasteries, private collections, and sealed archives, medieval ritual magic texts reveal a shadow history of forbidden knowledge that existed alongside official religion. These manuscripts describe summoning rituals, angelic invocations, demonology, talismanic magic, and ceremonial practices believed to grant power, protection, and divine insight. Often written in Latin, Hebrew, or coded symbolic language, these grimoires were feared by authorities and closely guarded by those who possessed them.
This episode explores some of the most infamous and influential ritual magic texts of the Middle Ages, including manuals attributed to Solomon, banned clerical spell books, and occult writings that blurred the line between prayer and sorcery. Were these texts expressions of spiritual devotion, dangerous heresy, or evidence of an underground magical tradition deliberately erased from history? The answers challenge what we think we know about medieval belief systems and the true boundaries of forbidden knowledge.

Hidden within the ancient Sanskrit texts of India lies a controversial scripture that some believe foretells the rise of modern religions, global conflicts, and even technological civilization. The Bhavishya Purana, translated as “The Purana of the Future,” contains passages that appear to describe events thousands of years beyond its supposed origin.
In this episode of The Forbidden Library Podcast, we explore the origins of the Bhavishya Purana, the disputed prophecies attributed to it, and why scholars, believers, and critics remain divided over its authenticity. Are these passages genuine ancient predictions, later interpolations, or evidence of lost knowledge preserved across millennia? And why do certain descriptions so closely resemble modern historical figures and world events?
This investigation examines the text’s mysterious history, the controversies surrounding its translations, and the implications if even a portion of its prophecies were written before the events they describe. As with many forbidden texts, the truth may lie somewhere between history, myth, and something far more unsettling.

Across centuries of religious history, certain passages, interpretations, and traditions have sparked controversy, debate, and secrecy. In this episode of The Forbidden Library Podcast, we examine the concept of so-called forbidden or disputed Quranic verses, exploring claims of suppressed recitations, abrogated passages, and hidden meanings known only to scholars and inner circles.
From early Islamic history and oral transmission to theological disagreements and esoteric interpretations, this episode investigates why some verses became controversial, how power and doctrine shaped official texts, and what alternative perspectives suggest about lost knowledge within sacred scripture.
Are these verses truly removed, misunderstood, or deliberately obscured? And what do they reveal about faith, authority, and the control of religious knowledge?

Hidden beneath the foundations of the New Testament may lie a lost document known only as Q—a mysterious source text scholars believe predates the canonical Gospels. Said to contain the original sayings of Jesus, the Gospel Q was never included in the Bible and vanished from history without explanation. In this episode of The Forbidden Library Podcast, we explore the evidence for Q’s existence, why it may have been suppressed, and what its teachings could reveal about early Christianity before doctrine, hierarchy, and control took hold.
If this text once existed, its absence may be the greatest omission in religious history.

The Book of Shadows is one of the most mysterious and misunderstood texts in modern occult history. Often described as a personal grimoire, it is said to contain spells, rituals, invocations, and sacred knowledge passed quietly from practitioner to practitioner. But where did it truly come from, and how ancient are its roots?
In this episode of The Forbidden Library Podcast, we trace the shadowed origins of the Book of Shadows and its connection to the rise of modern Wicca. From claims of ancient pagan lineages to secret covens, oral traditions, and the controversial figures who shaped its modern form, this episode explores how folklore, ritual magic, and hidden belief systems merged into one of the most influential occult texts of the twentieth century.
Was the Book of Shadows a preserved relic of ancient witchcraft, or a carefully constructed gateway to something older and more elusive? The answers remain buried in secrecy, symbolism, and whispered tradition.

The Codex Seraphinianus is one of the strangest books ever created—an illustrated encyclopedia of impossible creatures, unknown languages, and surreal technologies that seem to follow the logic of another world. Scholars have debated its meaning for decades, questioning whether it is an artistic illusion, a coded message, or a genuine attempt to document something not meant for human understanding. In this episode, we explore the most compelling theories surrounding the Codex, from extraterrestrial inspiration and dimensional bleed-through to claims that the text mimics the disorientation of decoding a truly alien culture. Is this mysterious volume simply an artistic masterpiece, or a window into a world we are not yet prepared to comprehend?

https://www.theforbiddenknowledgenetwork.comIn nineteen forty-five, a collection of ancient manuscripts was discovered in the Egyptian desert—texts that challenged traditional history, expanded early Christian thought, and revealed teachings long hidden from the world. Known as the Nag Hammadi Scriptures, these writings contain secret gospels, mystical philosophies, and radical ideas about creation, consciousness, and the divine. In this episode, we explore the origins of the library, the ideas it preserves, and the reasons these texts were buried for centuries. What knowledge was suppressed, and why did these manuscripts survive when so many others vanished?
