Rune Magick, Where to Begin? Options

I have decided that i would like to pursue rune magick but i have one problem, i dont know how or where to start, i am checking the local library after the march break and will also be checking the bookstore, but does anyone know anything that will satisfy my curiosity and anxiousness until then.

runes are just markings that mean stuff, usually associated with northern european folk, as the patters are similar to their ancient writing

there are many modern runes (i.e. made up)

playing cards, tarot cards, runes, bones, sticks, all can have meanings assigned to them

to look into the future, think of the thing and time you want to look up the future for, then scatter them, and either the overall pattern, or the meanings of the individual pieces are the future possibilities

to use them magically, think of the thing and what you want to do to it, then make a pattern with the pieces to facilitate or make that happen like you were reading it from a scatter or the individual items
