All initiatic Traditions worthy of the name espouse the same metaphysical Truth in varied forms. 'Magic' and higher laws of the universe (or cosmos, literally having the meaning of 'order') follow very specific laws, as precise as the laws of physics on different planes. This is why 'chaos magick' is so hilariously stupid to anybody who understands the higher laws of the universe to various extents.

The problem is it is much easier to jump into chaos magic like any layman could rather than purify yourself and read constantly. Hermeticism properly understood (most of the time it isn't), as well as the true, original understandings of Kabalah, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, etc. all hold the keys to what you seek, but it takes serious effort and the ability to see through all of the newer deviations and fraudery to teach yourself and discover the Truth.

I would recommend the 'Traditionalist school' of esotericism. So Guenon for the theoretical side, Evola for the practical side, and that would set a solid foundational understanding from which you could start delving into a Tradition of your choice without easily getting misled, overwhelmed or confused with all the info. I'm only speaking from experience, of course.
