My Favorite YouTube Channels on Alchemy, Esoterica, and Mysticism

If you're anything like me, you've probably fallen down a rabbit hole or two exploring the hidden, symbolic, and downright arcane corners of human knowledge. There’s something endlessly fascinating about the blend of philosophy, spirituality, mystery, and metaphor found in alchemy and esoteric traditions. And luckily, YouTube has become a surprisingly rich wellspring of content for those of us walking the hermetic path (or just casually peeking in).


Here are some of my favorite YouTube channels that explore alchemy, esotericism, mysticism, and all things hidden and arcane:


🔮 The Modern Hermeticist (595) The Modern Hermeticist - YouTube

If you're drawn to the deep symbolism of the Hermetic tradition and want content that doesn't water it down, this channel is gold. From detailed explorations of the Corpus Hermeticum to practical advice on meditation and alchemical visualization, it strikes a rare balance between scholarship and spiritual insight.


Run by Dr. Justin Sledge, this channel is a must for anyone wanting an academically informed yet deeply respectful look into the Western esoteric tradition. He dives into everything from Kabbalah to grimoires to the roots of alchemy, with well-researched and beautifully presented videos.


🌌 Spirit Science (595) Spirit Science - YouTube

A bit more modern and broader in scope, Spirit Science covers sacred geometry, chakras, spiritual awakening, and a kind of New Age take on alchemical transformation. It’s animated and simplified—but great if you're easing into the world of esoteric thought and want to make connections across traditions.


Third Eye Drops is a beautifully cerebral dive into consciousness, creativity, and the philosophical side of mysticism. Host Michael Phillip blends interviews, solo musings, and psychedelic insights into a mind-expanding audio-visual experience. Think cosmic curiosity meets modern mystic vibes—with topics ranging from consciousness studies to the esoteric side of art and technology. It’s like hanging out with a philosopher-shaman over coffee and cosmic downloads.


📔 Agrippa's Diary (595) Agrippa's Diary - YouTube

Named after the legendary occultist Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, this channel is a modern-day grimoire in video form. It’s got a raw, exploratory feel, often diving into the nitty-gritty of ceremonial magik, personal transformation, and occult history. You’ll find reflections on real magical practice, symbol analysis, and candid thoughts on walking the mystical path in today’s world. It's part journal, part spellbook, all infused with an authentic love for the craft.


👁️ Irevalato (595) Irevelato - YouTube

Irevalato stands at the crossroads of esotericism, philosophy, and high art. The channel weaves together alchemical concepts, Gnostic themes, and symbolic imagery in a style that feels more like a mystical art film than a typical YouTube video. Often poetic, sometimes cryptic, but always evocative—it’s a sensory and intellectual experience that invites contemplation rather than consumption. Perfect for when you’re craving mystery over explanation.


🕯️ Vox Occulta (595) Vox Occulta - YouTube

Dark, dense, and deliciously arcane—Vox Occulta delves deep into the shadows of occult history and thought. With a gothic aesthetic and scholarly edge, the channel explores everything from demonology and forgotten grimoires to psychological and symbolic interpretations of ritual and lore. It’s for those who like their esoterica with a little edge—think ancient texts, forbidden knowledge, and a hauntingly beautiful presentation style.


Eternalised is a deeply introspective and philosophical channel that explores the human condition through the lenses of existentialism, Carl Jung, and the darker corners of psychology and mysticism. With beautifully edited visuals and narrations that feel like meditative essays, the channel dives into themes like shadow work, death, suffering, and the search for meaning. It’s not strictly occult—but it’s spiritual in the most raw and honest way. Perfect for seekers drawn to inner alchemy and psychological transformation.


✨ Why I Love These Channels

What draws me to these creators isn’t just the content—it’s the intention behind it. You can feel that they’re not in it just to teach facts or chase views; they’re inviting you into a mystery, an unfolding journey of transformation. There’s an authenticity to their work, a kind of reverence for the unknown, that resonates on a soul-deep level.

These channels don’t pretend to have all the answers. Instead, they offer signposts—insights, questions, symbols, and stories—that help illuminate the winding road inward. Whether it’s inner alchemy, sacred geometry, dream interpretation, mythic symbolism, or the pursuit of gnosis, they each provide their own unique key to unlocking deeper layers of meaning.

And perhaps what I value most is the atmosphere they create. They offer a kind of sacred digital space—a quiet corner of the internet where wonder still lives, where the ancient and the modern can meet, and where seekers of all kinds can feel less alone in their search. Some guide with intellect, some with intuition, some with art or philosophy—but they all share a deep curiosity and respect for the hidden dimensions of reality.

If you’re a fellow seeker—or just a curious traveler wandering through the strange and beautiful world of esotericism—I can’t recommend them enough. You never know what spark might catch fire.
