Alternative Tarot Course - created and hosted by the author of the Little Red Tarot blog, this self-guided 8-part course is really good for anyone else who hates tarot courses and feels like they're too ableist/sexist/white/anti-semitic/religious/psychology-based/whatever else, and want something better.
Qadash Kinahnu Temple Directory (archived) - the website and resource directory of Lilinah biti-Anat, dedicant to Anat and modern reviver of ancient Canaanite religion. To my knowledge, this is a well-sourced introduction to the religion, its myths, and its history - if potentially outdated. Always check against updated sources, but not a bad start for what it is.
Introduction to Kashmiri Shaivism, by Nishanth Selvalingam - A wonderful introduction to non-dualist Shaivism, with focus on teachings from Sri Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda among others. Nish is a teacher of mine, and I respect him and find his words deeply insightful and spiritually enlightening. Absolutely recommend his courses and lectures, which you can find more of here.

"Hunger Hurts: Cannibals and Why We're Obsessed With Them" by Lola Sebastian -- a stunning and deeply thought-provoking study of modern media centered around cannibals, focusing mainly on Bones and All (2022).

One of the most profound and touching works of writing I've engaged with.

"I Spent 100 Days in a Zombie Apocalypse in Minecraft... Here's What Happened" by ForgeLabs -- not a video essay, but a full-length hour-and-a-half zombie apocalypse film made in Minecraft. Actually an amazing piece of work with high tension, real fear, and like, a fuckton of overpowered zombies that can tear down buildings by the end of this mess. 10/10 would highly recommend watching.
