I've only just begun to go down the long rabbit hole of Ceremonial, but as far as Chaos or magnetizing money and work to you through the Law of Attraction, I can speak to that.
I've come to realize one of the major goals of the world's esoteric traditions is the flowering of the spinal force--all the prayer, fasting, meditation, Qi-gong, yoga, and even weirder or unlikelier practices such as sex magick and concentrating on Tarot cards can all be used to transmute and move excess sexual energy into a spiritual vitality that enlivens the physical and spiritual bodies. With enough of that vitality ("Qi," "Prana," etc.), multiple chakras can be charged and your auric space filled to the extent where you more fully exist in the physical, astral, and thought planes, more easily moving thoughts from their archetypal origin, through the astral, and into the physical.
Keep a journal where you admit your mistakes and give thanks for what you have. Challenge yourself to do acts of charity and to chant and fast and memorize scriptures or wise sayings. Write down what you want in detail, maybe even keeping a vision board. If you have a romantic partner, cuddle with him or her attentively. If not, then your best bet is probably an exercise such as the Northern Star Qi-gong found here:

Peaceful Warrior is a book about a college student who meets a master and learns the philosophical side of Kung Fu.
I have not yet read Scholar Warrior yet but its a book about applying Kung Fu to everyday life.
Here is good book on Chinese acupuncture, which is a very useful skill that can be used to either hurt or heal another person
Here are some that haven't been recommended:
Yang is very scientific. Deng is practical, some of his other books are more spiritual and one chronicles his master's life and more like a crazy novel. Frantzis is also quite practical and most informative regarding martial arts. All three have classic understanding of Chinese medicine, haven't come across any new age BS in their writing.
Each author has other books that you should look into.
