Cursed Books

Forbidden Knowledge: From Antiquity to the Present Day

The magician secretly invokes the forces of darkness. The grimoire has been opened. It speaks. It screams. Sometimes it bleeds. It summons the spirits of the underworld. The book becomes the gateway connecting the world of the living to the alluring and ethereal dwelling of the dead. There is no turning back. We must prepare for what awaits us, poor mortals, as we turn each of the forbidden pages.

Since the most remote antiquity, written texts have been among the most powerful and feared elements by mankind. Thousands of pages that challenge reason itself, hidden codes, lines encrypted with caution by the brilliant minds of the past, secrets that, if revealed, could alter our conception of the world and perhaps even cause terrible misfortunes. All of this can be found in forbidden manuscripts, magical papyri, medieval grimoires, works written by the hand of the devil himself...

Ancient books of the Sacred Art or Alchemy, mysterious collections, hidden libraries; infamous texts that would trigger the greatest witch hunts in human history or legendary manuscripts. Key books of the great religions that seem to conceal not only the past, but also the present and future; cursed and persecuted books that come together in these pages, collectively composing a long-silenced history.
