This falls more under the purview of tantra I feel, but there's definitely a connection there. Rajarshi Nandy is a noted Tantric, whereas Dr Robert Svoboda is The authority on Aghora. You can find many interviews with them on youtube, particularly on the Beerbiceps channel, where they do a deep dive into these topics.
Personally, deities were very important in my own spiritual awakening and Kundalini process in particular, I feel I wouldn't have gotten very far without their help. At the same time, there is always a danger that some would confuse or obfuscate deities with demons / asuras and building a relationship with those would actually hinder your development rather than help it, or in any case their "help" might come at a considerable cost that's not on the brochure.
