Have you ever fallen down an esoteric YouTube rabbit hole? Maybe that's where you naturally end up after watching videos about American cryptids, in-depth analyses of the philosophy behind Dante's Divine Comedy, and Joseph Campbell's The Power of Myth 1988 documentary set in multiple parts by different users. There is nothing inherently wrong with the aforementioned content, but they will all inevitably lead you to parts of YouTube that will leave you wondering if you can't stop watching it because you're curious, because you actually believe in this woo-woo stuff, or because it's scratching some nostalgic itch you didn't realize you had for the Discovery Channel at the height of the Ancient Aliens craze.

Whether you've fully bought in to the esoterica, or you see it as something of a convoluted form of self-help shrouded in mystical symbolism and a cosmic narrative, scroll down below for a mysterious tome of esoteric memes.
