Hi, you don't use runes they use you but i know what you meen. the best thing i can sugest is get a book and have a flip through. but basicly put all the runes in a bag and holding the bag cupped in one hand mix them externaly, now one method is to cast (drop) a small amount of the runes onto a soft seface and read the up ward facing runes. if you cant get a compleate pictur from that then turn over others 1 at a time (like pages of a book right to left) reading them as you turn don't turn them all just enough untill all is clear. the second method is to take out the runes that "stick" or you feel drawn to and lay them in a sped. if your a beginer then its best to start with 3 read them left to right .past.present.futcher. if you want to keep it symple then leave revers meanings read them all as norm. then practise all the time as often as you like but only one reading at a time other wise you will only confuse your self. but read the meanings on the book/litretur that you get with them. Never bye second hand runes untill your practised! Take care hope that this helps, Blessed Be,x
