Are directory names somehow vetted?

The address i'm trying to reach is http://www.agedhippy.plus.com/hermes/virgin/virgin_index.html - but all i get is the message:
Quote e5
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /hermes/virgin/virgin_index.html on this server.
0
Is it because i have badly-formed the links? am i missing something obvious? or is the word "virgin" somehow forbidden?
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Incidentally, the "virgin" referred to is a work named "The Virgin of the World" it is a Hermetic work - with no sexual content whatsoever.

Edited to add:
Incidentally, i use Firefox, but i've also tried it with Konqueror, Flock, and Iceape - with the same result.

Also make sure the permissions on the virgin directory are 755 and on the file itself.
Finally, create a blank index.html file and put it in each of the directories you don't have an index file in to stop the directory listings occurring allowing others to see exactly what you have in your webspace.

I can access it with no problem using Konqeror as an ftp client (the way i upload stuff), but even if i copy-and-past the address into Firefox, i get the "Forbidden" message.
Permissions are - as far as i can see, the same as the other directories:
"Owner can View and Modify Content
Group can View Content
Others can View Content."
I should have re-loaded the page, shouldn't i.

Thanks for that.

I'd changed it to try an experiment -- which didn't work.

If the word "virgin" is the problem i can't change the name of the treatise, it is - after all - a major work.
I shall have to dream up some alternative options tonight.

Everyone except the owner was "Forbidden", so i've reset them all to "Can Read", and the problem is cured.
Thank you all for your help.

It had occurred to me that it was censorship by Plusnet, but that was just paranoia on my part.

One of life's little mysteries....
I thank you all for your input.

@ pierre_pierre,
The first of your pictures, if that's the one at the bottom of your first post (No. 7) it is unfamiliar to me.... the image which appears on the index page of "The Virgin of the World" is an Egyptian statue of Isis feeding Her son Horus (a prototype Madonna and child).
The others you posted are also unfamiliar to me....
