Hey there Kenny, as a teenager I studied a bit of Magick, before I entered the yoga ashram. Mostly traditional western magick is from the alchemists of the middle ages, as well as Kabbalah of the Hebrew tradition. Eliphas Levi, McGreggor Mathers and Aleister Crowley were well known adepts, with the Golden Dawn by Crowley in the late 1800s and early 1900s becoming popular. Tarot is also mixed into that along with Egyptian symbolism.

In the Vedic tradition it might fall under Tantra, the left hand path or something like that. The Clavicula Solomonis or Key of Solomon the King, was a famous original magick text, if you want to investigate.

You appear to be practicing chaos magick, where the adept combines whatever works for them in a hybrid and syncretic style, taking from diverse practices and making it up as you go along lol.

I don't bother paying for online courses of any sort and have always been able to learn for free or teach myself, by purchasing books or scouring the internet as you have done. Ultimately, whether you are conjuring up some demons or ghosts or whether it's just the imagination and will, (attention with intention) - a lot will be speculation and experiment, which may satisfy the mind, and focus the attention. Talismans work like that, as do spells, I presume. The true power lies in your psychic ability or strength of your frequency or auric body, regardless of tools used. You are the most important tool. By purifying your mind and heart, as well as being physically clean, and in a clean sacred space, you can achieve much. The yoga path gives you the techniques to purify the mind with mantras, and correct diet, as well as the timing of your spells and rituals, according to the planetary alignments (astrology) or times of day (muhurtas). For example the most important time of day to meditate is 90 mins before sunrise, that is the Brahma muhurta, used by yogis for prayer and puja - which is a ritual ceremony of worshiping your deity, with incense, flowers, water, and prayers, etc.

I have also become a bit eclectic and use the chaos concept of hybridized practice, though it may be frowned upon by purists. Ultimately the Holy Guardian Angel, spoken of in magick, is perhaps the Supersoul or Paramatma in the heart of every living being, god in the heart.

I would say that the goal of life is not to acquire the objects of the senses, mammon, but to cultivate heightened consciousness of our true identity as eternal spirit soul, and to revive our original dormant personality before entering this body. So as long as your magick practice is not fueling further greed, power over others, or material desires, then it can be used to call upon guidance on the mystical path.
