The Devil’s Bible Uncovered: The Codex Gigas & Houska Castle


Listen Later

Dive into the most forbidden book in history: The Devil’s Bible – Part 1 In 1229, a monk condemned to be walled up alive made a desperate pact with the Devil himself. One single night was all he was given to create the largest medieval manuscript ever written – the Codex Gigas, better known as the Devil’s Bible. 75 kg of vellum, 310 pages written in perfect uniformity by one human hand… or was it? This is the true story of Brother Herman the Recluse, the emerald-skinned Devil on folio 290, the hidden Kabbalistic Satanic rituals encoded in its pages, and the centuries-long war between the Vatican, Nazi occultists, and secret societies to control or destroy it.

What really happened when Heinrich Himmler moved the legendary Codex Gigas — the Devil’s Bible — to the gates of Hell itself? In this chilling documentary we reveal newly declassified Ahnenerbe files, forbidden Vatican archives, and eyewitness accounts of Nazi occult experiments at Houska Castle, the fortress built over a bottomless pit to imprison demons from the abyss.

From walled-up cells in 13th-century Bohemia to Rudolf II’s alchemical Prague, the looting of Prague Castle in 1648, and the mysterious fire of 1697 that couldn’t burn it – the Codex Gigas has survived them all.

This is not just a book. It is a weapon forged in hell and hunted by heaven. This is the full origin story of the real Devil’s Bible – the darkest chapter of medieval history the Church tried to bury.
