There are many types of divination, all serve a similar purpose and that is to find out something that you don't know. The most important thing to know is that all forms of divination are about interpretation. you will read the form of divination according to how you think you should and the universe will guide you with the rest. This will seem a little strange to those new to divination but after much practice it will become more comfortable.
some of the oldest forms of divination are things as simple as gazing into water. but there are many types of divination. Tarot cards, tea leaves, crystal balls, palm reading, rune stones, scrying mirrors, even using things like eggs, apple peels, or pancake batter.
One of the things to learn with Tarot is describing the picture. What's in the picture? What is happening? Are there any shapes or symbols? If you don't understand what the symbols or shapes are, definitely look them up. These symbols were drawn (or CG created) for that card for a reason; it's a good idea to brush up on what they mean. All tarot decks typically have the same meanings, but each deck is drawn or created differently. From that, a reader may be able to divine just a little bit further. The artists normally have an understanding of tarot or trade themselves, so they can also incorporate the meanings they get from each card. to get farther into learning Tarot you will need to learn about each card to do this you can search the web or buy a beginners package that comes with a book and a card set. this is where I recommend that you start and is why I am not going to go into a explanation of every card here.
Keep in mind that Oracle decks work differently than tarot.
Oracle decks are used as a quick way to answer a question. Imagine going to the Oracle at Delphi. While in her drug-induced state, she gives you words of wisdom, without much interpretation. This is sort of how Oracle cards work. You don't do a full spread reading; most of the time, you'll draw one card.
You can do this with Tarot, but you're able to get a more detailed reading with them, especially if you use a spread of at least three cards.
This is how I differentiate between the two. Others may have a different perspective on them.
Runes: There are various ways that one can go about constructing their own set of personal runes. Here are just a few methods to try.
Method One
You can buy some fimo clay, sold in many different places, ie Wal-Mart, K-Mart, and form your own runes. You just follow the instructions on the package and within a few days, you have your own personally charged set of divinatory runes.
Method Two
If you live by the ocean, or can get your hands on some seashells, these would make and excellent set of runes. You paint your symbols on the shells, allow them to dry and it’s that simple.
Method Three
Collect various rocks, wash them, paint the symbols on them, and that's it.
Now, I was able to find a bit of information on three different sets of runes. Those runes are Freya's Eight, Heimdall's Eight, and Tir's Eight. I will be telling you what is in whose set.
Where Did It Come From?
The Elder Futhark is thought to be the oldest version of the runic alphabet, and was used in the parts of Europe which were home to Germanic peoples, including Scandinavia. Other versions probably developed from it. The names of the letters are shown in Common Germanic, the reconstructed ancestor of all Germanic languages.
A number of extra letters were added to the runic alphabet to write Anglo-Saxon/Old English. Runes were probably bought to Britain in the 5th century by the Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Frisians (collectively known as the Anglo-Saxons), and were used until about the 11th century. Runic inscriptions are mostly found on jewelry, weapons, stones and other objects. Very few examples of runic writing on manuscripts have survived.

Runic inscriptions are mostly found on jewelry, weapons, stones and other objects. Very few examples of runic writing on manuscripts have survived.
The Etruscan alphabet is thought to have been developed from the Greek alphabet by Greek colonists in Italy. The earliest known inscription dates from the middle of the 6th century BC.
More than 10,000 Etruscan inscriptions have been found on tombstones, vases, statues, mirrors and jewelry. Fragments of a Etruscan book made of linen have also been found.
Most Etruscan inscriptions are written in horizontal lines from left to right, but some are boustrophedon (running alternately left to right then right to left).
Used to write: Etruscan, a language spoken by the Etruscans, who lived in Etruria (Tuscany and Umbria) between about the 8th century BC and the 1st century AD. Little is known about the Etruscans or their language.
Archaic Etruscan alphabet (7th-5th centuries BC)
Neo-Etruscan alphabet (4th-3rd centuries BC)
The Old Italic alphabets developed from the west Greek alphabet, which came to Italy via the Greek colonies on Sicily and along the west coast of Italy. The Etruscans adapted the Greek alphabet to write Etruscan sometime during the 6th century BC, or possibly earlier. Most of the other alphabets used in Italy are thought to have derived from the Etruscan alphabet.
The earliest known inscriptions in the Latin alphabet date from the 6th century BC. It was adapted from the Etruscan alphabet during the 7th century BC. The letters Y and Z were taken from the Greek alphabet to write Greek loan words. Other letters were added from time to time as the Latin alphabet was adapted for other languages
The Messapic alphabet is thought to have derived directly from the Greek alphabet, rather than developing from the Etruscan alphabet. The only known inscriptions in the Messapic alphabet date from the 2nd and 1st centuries BC. The Messapic language was not related to other languages of Italy.
The Romans used just 23 letters to write Latin. There were no lower case letters, and K, X, Y and Z used only for writing words of Greek origin. The letters J, U and W were added to the alphabet at a later stage to write languages other than Latin. J is a variant of I, U is a variant of V, and W was introduced as a 'double-v' to make a distinction between the sounds we know as 'v' and 'w' which was unnecessary in Latin.
But what other alphabets may have influenced runes? Remember that over the millennia there was a great migration of people, spreading from the birthplace of mankind, in the "middle east" to what are now Europe and northern Africa. Ancient people did travel--a lot--and long before the Vikings became known as explorers and traders.
Hungarian runes (SzÃkely RovásÃrás) are descended from the KÃk Turki script used in Central Asia. They were used by the SzÃkler Magyars in Hungary before István, the first Christian king of Hungary, ordered all pre-Christian writings to be destroyed. In remote parts of Transylvania however, the runes were still used up until the 1850s. Hungarian runes were usually written on sticks in boustrophedon style (alternating direction right to left then left to right). The runes include separate letters for all the phonemes of Hungarian and are in this respect better suited to written Hungarian than the Latin alphabet.
The Tifinagh or Tifinigh abjad is thought to have derived from the ancient Berber script. [Berbers were mountain people, who lived in northwestern Africa, in what is now Morocco.] The name Tifinagh means 'the Phoenician letters', or possibly comes from the Greek word for writing tablet, 'pÃnaks'. It is not taught in schools, but is still used occasionally by the Tuareg for private notes, love letters and in decoration. For public purposes, the Arabic alphabet is used
The South Arabian alphabet is known from inscriptions found in southern Arabia dating from between 600 BC and 600 AD. Its origins are not known. The South Arabian alphabet, like Arabic and Hebrew, includes only consonants. It was written from right to left in horizontal lines. The top row of letters are written in monumental style, while the bottom row of letters are in cursive style.
The Sabaean or Sabaic alphabet is one of the south Arabian alphabets. The oldest known inscriptions in this alphabet date from about 500 BC. Its origins are not known, though one theory is that it developed from the Byblos alphabet. The Sabaean alphabet, like Arabic and Hebrew, includes only consonants. Unlike Arabic and Hebrew, Sabaean has no system for vowel indication. In most inscriptions it is written from right to left, in some it is written in boustrophedon style (alternating right to left and left to right). It was used to write Sabaean, an extinct Semitic language spoken in Saba, the biblical Sheba, in southwestern Arabia. The Sabaeans managed to unite southern Arabia into a single state by the 3rd century AD, but were conquered by the Abyssinians in 525 AD.a
