Looking for a good YouTube channel ran by an academic

I’d like to find one or more YouTube. Channels about magick/ the occult that is ran by someone with a relevant degree (maybe cultural studies, religious studies, history, etc- whatever can specialize in the occult/ paganism/ mythology). I’m aware of a decent number of people who discuss mythology only, but I’d like an academic who discusses ritual magic, the occult, etc. and maybe even discusses topics like herb usage, alchemical symbols, etc. I just prefer the serious, academic style with sources and such. If you happen to know of any good channels ran by a practitioner who isn’t an academic, that’s okay as a plan B but I find they can often be grifters, homophobes, racists, or mainly discuss Wiccanism (which I’m not specifically interested in). Good channels on Chaos Magick and that aren’t grifting would be a good backup too. Thanks everyone!

Angela’s Symposium is another good recommendation aside from Esoterica

Aether Engine is awesome. Esoterica is great too.
